Saratoga Special a Laugher for D' Funnybone

D' Funnybone, purchased privately one month ago by top owner Paul Pompa Jr., provided an immediate return on the investment when he crushed his rivals in the $150,000 Saratoga Special (gr. II) at the Spa Aug. 20.

Edgar Prado guided the Florida-bred son of D'wildcat to a 10 1/2-length victory over a field that included seven well-regarded 2-year-old rivals. The final time for the 6 1/2-furlong main track test was 1:17.58 on a track labeled 'fast' in spite of showers earlier during the program.
