Barbaro (the Champ)

I will agree with u that we should wait till the year is over to decide the champions but I don't agree that we should wait any more on Bernardini than we did with Barbaro. Besides, this is what the fun is on these forums. If we waited till seasons were over to annoint champs or wait till careers are over to place horses in all-time perspectives, this place would be boring.

yes, that's true but I wasn't the one who stated we were wasting our time debating the matter at the present. Things have a way of working themselves out...if Bernardini loses in the next two events against older horses, which I'm suspecting he will...this debate is really going to heat up
