I think it's really tough to say Barbaro was the best of the decade on either surface. I'd certainly take Kitten's Joy before him on the weeds as a 3YO.
Barbaro was terrific but he also beat a future 20k claimer in the Holy Bull and a NY bred who never won a race again in the Fla Derby. His Derby was very strong but that ended up being an awfully weak field.
