The daughter of one of the men who owns Kentucky Derby winner Funny Cide was busted in a seamy section of Schenectady Tuesday on drug and prostitution charges.
Cops said Wendy Cook, 37, solicited johns with her two kids at her side and even snorted coke off her infant son's belly while she breast-fed him and her 5-year-old daughter watched.
Cook is the daughter of Jack Knowlton, part of a syndicate that hit the jackpot in 2003 when their Thoroughbred, Funny Cide, won the Kentucky Derby and the Preakness.
The Thoroughbred missed his shot to become the 12th Triple Crown winner when he finished third in the Belmont Stakes.
Sources said Knowlton and his wife recently reported their daughter missing.
Cops said Cook performed oral sex on men in the front seat of their cars while her kids sat in the back.
At her arraignment on prostitution and child endangerment charges, Schenectady City Judge Vince Versaci told her, "I've never come across such an atrocity in my life, and that's saying a lot."
"Congratulations," he sarcastically told the sobbing mother, whose kids were placed with relatives.
He set bail at $15,000 cash or $30,000 bond.
Cook was one of five alleged prostitutes netted in a crackdown this week in the upstate town. She used to run a Saratoga bookshop featuring Funny Cide memorabilia.
All that means is that she knows how to multitask and would make a good secretary.
She must be very bendy.
