Fine.....let's thorwout Barbaro's Derby performance than.

What do we have left?

A maiden win on the Delaware Park turf course. A pair of stake wins on turf at Calder and Laurel. And a pair of stakes wins on dirt at GP....at the expense of Great Point and Sharp Humor....neither performance by a large margin of victory.

Different scenario, wouldn't you agree? I would wager to say that the majority of posters on here most likely had Barbaro on their tickets with a realistic chance at winning the derby. I couldn't say the same with Giacomo. The 2005 and 2006 derbies were as different as night and day.

Both Barbaro and Giacomo got the absolute circumstances they needed in the race.

I bet on the latter and not the former.

Mad props to you, then... I tossed Giacomo first thing and didn't even use him. I just couldn't see him winning... too slow.
