And yeah, they had the same owners but that didn't stop them from meeting on dirt. Riva Ridge and Big Red had the same owner AND trainer but they still squared off.
It's not that it doesn't deserve to be debated, but why even try? Barbaro will never run again, so IMO it's not fair to him to debate such a thing. I would have loved to have seen them both on the turf, but it will never happen. By the way, I believe Barbaro was the better horse on the turf. His high action spoke for itself.
