Extremely good.
He was one of the best 2yo turf horses I ever saw run -- and because of the fact he improved with each start on dirt -- he may have been physically maturing and developing.
However, outside of Barbaro's Kentucky Derby win ... he didn't exactly achieve much on dirt...and he beat a very moderate Derby field with a perfect trip.
Barbaro was a case of what might have been.
