He will certainly be odds on. But, he has never lost and has never been challenged. The Southwest was his only challenge per se, (right at the wire), and he would not let those horses go by. His late pace will be best out of the Preakness is my guess. (Check Eddington).

I was high on Funny last year though, so take my opinion with a grain of salt. Also remember pre Preakness Tagg was dressing and he told Smullen "Hes gonna F-----g destroy those horses" and that he won by 9 lengths. I'm becoming more and more suspicious that Funny has limitations and that Tagg is managing him carefully.

Regarding Tapit, he couldn't get within 15 lengths of Smarty at 12 marks. That might get second though.
