In 2003， he became "the people s horse，" the unheralded New York-bred gelding who-in a time of war and economic jitters-inspired a nation by knocking off the champions and their multimillionaire owners and sweeping to the brink of the Triple Crown. Trained by a journeyman who had been knocking around racing for more than thirty years， ridden by a hard-luck jockey， and owned by a tiny stable founded by a band of high school buddies from Sackets Harbor， NY (pop: 1，386)， who tossed in a few thousand dollars each and decided to follow their dream， Funny Cide became a blue-collar hero with a bit， his story crammed with colorful characters-only one of which happened to be a horse. Written with Sally Jenkins， coauthor of Lance Armstrong s number-one bestseller It s Not About the Bike， Funny Cide tells the whole story-the parts we know and the parts we never suspected-as it follows the group s emotional ups and downs against overwhelming odds， illness， and even scandal， to capture the imagination of millions. It is a book for the underdog in all of us-a new American classic.
