Being President of the United States shouldn't be a problem for me either. I was born a U.S. citizen.

The 1 1/2 miles of the Epsom Derby might have been a problem for him if you have seen the layout of the course, and the size and quality of the field.

We'll never know either way. Both could have demolished all of the future fields they faced, but since we haven't seen them race together, I don't think it's as easy to predict a win one way or the other. Certainly Bernardini's Beyers have been amazing. At the same time, Barbaro would probably have given him a good run in the stretch, and who knows which horse would have scrapped their way through to the wire?
