The U.S. economy expanded at a surprisingly strong 4.3% annual rate in the third quarter as consumer spending, exports and government spending all grew.

U.S. gross domestic product from July through September — the economy’s total output of goods and services — rose from its 3.8% growth rate in the April-June quarter, the Commerce Department said Tuesday.

Analysts surveyed by the data firm FactSet forecast growth of 3% in the period.

well apparently most here wrote off Funtime but he finished a fast closing 3rd in the Haughton so yeah he can get his share with the aged ranks.

the hate against Funtime here is over the top. He went first over into tough fractions and if he didnt he would have been stuck behind a tiring horse.  Still timed in 49.2. He will win his share this year. No he isnt as good as Nijinsky but he never really was.

lol at the haters

Funtime will fit in just fine in the Graduate Series especially with Captain Albano not exactly hitting his stride in the qualifiers and Mirage Hanover MIA after his disastrous qualifier.

Probably some prep races at Big M where a condition is written for him in highest condition level they fill and then Graduate series awaits in about 6 weeks. Plenty of time to see if he can handle racing every week

Obviously he already proved naysayers here wrong with a strong qualifier sub 151. Not sure what people want from him. He was not the top 3 year old last year. He can be competitive  with 4 year olds so he deserves a shot at that before written off

Thanks Mike
