IF Bernardini beats older horses in the his next race and runs well enough in the Classic I don't think there will be anything close to a debate.

He will have done things that Barbaro never had the chance to do and will be a deserving winner.

You can't think that Fl Derby + Kentucky Derby > Preakness + Belmont + Jim Dandy + Travers + beating older horses.

Bernardini will be a more accomplished horse if he beats older. How do you not give the award to the more accomplished animal?

BTW: This debate probably resolves itself with time. This feels a little like deciding now what I'll wear to a New Years party. I think I can probably wait before I decide.
