What Kind of Hit Will Racing Take If Barbaro Dies?

[Danzig]

but you can't judge what happened THEN (the gate and subsequent check out by the vet) by what we know happened after. it's a shame that some will go back and point at that incident as the pivotal moment. esp since it isn't.
and yes, much like pearl harbor 'historians' who say by using all the info collected AFTER the bombing, and knowing the japanese did indeed bomb us and destroy much of our fleet, and by using tremendous HIND sight that we 'SHOULD HAVE KNOWN ALL ALONG' there will be those who say that the gate crew/pimlico/magna rushed the job....but they'll still be incorrect.
