Sure, there is not much in the pool, but the early word is obvious--New Yorkers want New York-bred Funny Cide to become a Triple Crown winner. They are wagering on him to take Saturday's Belmont Stakes (gr. I).With $67,622 in the pool through 6 p.m., Funny Cide is the heavy 1-2 favorite. The windows at Belmont will take wagers on the Belmont until 7:30.No one expects Funny Cide to go off 1-5, but the message is loud and clear--New Yorkers backing the New York-bred winner of the Kentucky Derby (gr. I) and Preakness Stakes (gr. I).
