Evening Attire vs Funny Cide

Funny Cide, who won the 2003 Kentucky Derby, is the only New York bred to do so. Like Evening Attire, he is also a gelding, and they are two of the best in recent times. Evening Attire and Funny Cide have faced off 9 times in a 5 year span from 2003 to 2007. All 9 races were stakes races. Below is a recap of their meetings.
