No and No with Invasor and ML.
However ... Midnight Lute and Raven's Pass have the two best cases for syth and something else.
Obviously dirt and syn for ML and turf and syn for RP. Though, that wasn't what I intended to rate.
As for Barbaro ... it really boils down to two questions. 1.) are you rating based on what he might have done or what he actually did? 2.) Do you discredit 2yo turf racing because it's never mattered much here?
Based on how you answer those two questions ... you'll either have very few exclusive US horses ahead of him or many.
