  • medlocke · I guess it must be distance issue's with this colt? Given that he didn't attempt to run in any of the three Triple Crown races this season. But, IMO, D'Funnybone has raced over conventional dirt as impressively and as effectively as any of the other 3yr.old contenders this season has. He's certainly won more races over conventional dirt than any of the other 3yr.old's that I've seen. · 614 days ago ·

  • mdracing69 · D'Funnybone is deadly at seven furlongs and I have to give Dutrow and company credit for keeping the distance challenged colt in sprints. Keep an eye on Trappe Shot. He ran faster than D'Funnybone on the Belmont undercard at the same 7f distance and appears to have plenty of upside for McLaughlin. · · 613 days ago ·
