Barbaro (the Champ)

I am sorry guys, but if Bernardini goes on and either wins one of his last two races or finishes a strong second in both of them then he is the 3 year old champ and he deserves it. Barbaro is awesome and had a remarkable career, but he did not do enough to win the award if Bernardini does the above. I feel his races trumps what Barbaro did. No sharing of the awards, Barbaro deserves to be the winner, but Bernardini deserves it more.

I want him to beat more than 4 or 5 horses at a time, Euro! Geesh... why does it matter to you what I think about him? If I had put my appendix QH in a race against 5 miniature horses and he won in a convincing fashion, would I be proclaiming him the next best thing? Nope...

For me to say he's a great horse, I want to see him win against all odds. He's had nothing but a perfect set up every time he's raced. I'm sorry if I'm not so quick to jump on the same bandwagon that you did.

In the Travers there was ONE grade one winner & one grade 2 winner. Lots of horses look good beating 4 & 5 horse fields.

Number of horses beaten doesnt matter. That is odd for someone to believe. Usisng that philosophy, the horse who wins the Derby should be 3 year old champ??? That doesnt make sense.
