                                 ______
                                 

 SENATE RESOLUTION 181--CONGRATULATING ALL NEW YORKERS ON THE OCCASION 
  OF THEIR FIRST KENTUCKY DERBY VICTORY AND THE SUBSEQUENT PREAKNESS 
         STAKES VICTORY WITH NEW YORK-BRED GELDING, FUNNY CIDE

  Mr. SCHUMER (for himself and Mrs. Clinton) submitted the following 
resolution; which was referred to the Committee on the Judiciary:

                              S. Res. 181

       Whereas on Saturday, May 3, 2003, Funny Cide won the 129th 
     Kentucky Derby by 1\3/4\ lengths, with a time of 2:01:19, and 
     became the first New York-bred horse to win the Run for the 
     Roses and the first gelding to win the Derby since Clyde Van 
     Dusen in 1929;
       Whereas on Saturday, May 17, 2003, Funny Cide won the 128th 
     Preakness Stakes by 9\3/4\ lengths, with a time of 1:55:61, 
     and became the first New York-bred horse in 107 years, and 
     the first gelding since Prairie Bayou in 1993, to win the 
     Preakness;
       Whereas Funny Cide is the great-great grandson of the 1977 
     Triple Crown winner, Seattle Slew;
       Whereas Funny Cide was trained by Barclay Tagg and ridden 
     by jockey Jose Santos;
       Whereas high school friends from Sackets Harbor, New York, 
     along with friends made thereafter, are the proud owners of 
     Funny Cide,
       Whereas Funny Cide races out of Sackatoga Stables, named 
     after the hometown of the original owners -- Sacket Harbor, 
     New York -- and the home of another owner -- Saratoga 
     Springs, New York; and
       Whereas Funny Cide, a horse with a reputation as being 
     ``from the wrong side of the track'', has become the pride 
     and joy of all New Yorkers: Now, therefore, be it
       Resolved, That the Senate--
       (1) congratulates Sackatoga Stables for Funny Cide's 
     victories at the 129th Kentucky Derby and the 128th Preakness 
     Stakes; and
       (2) directs the Secretary of the Senate to make available 
     enrolled copies of this resolution for appropriate display to 
     the owners of Funny Cide, trainer Barclay Tagg, and jockey 
     Jose Santos.
