If Bernardini wins the JCGC then there is absolutely no possible logical defense of " Barbaro for 3YO champ ".

Maybe there should be a double winner in every group...winner based on merit and top horse in each group that got injured. The Eclipse Awards have been ridiculous for a while and they just keep getting worse.

It is all speculation right now but that will end when Bernardini wins his next two starts.....

LOL Joel. He'll win his next start, but he won't win the Classic.

This is nonsense. Champion 3-year-old should go to THE BEST 3-YEAR-OLD, not the horse who performed best in restricted 3-year-old races.

Can everyone please stop having a heart attack about Bernardini being better than their hero Barbaro? That doesn't make Barbaro a nag or a rat.. He was a very nice 3-year-old.. But Bernardini is a monster. There's a difference.

It would be one of the stupidest things in the history of sports to say that the horse that could be named as the best one in the country is not even deserving to be named as the best one in his own division.

Aren't selected members of the media the ones who cast votes? I have heard that a lot of these who have voting rights do not have the credibility or ability to make sound judgements regarding these matters. They ought to let us vote here on derbytrail.com! Wouldn't that be fun (wishful thinking)! If that is the case, I think most of us probably know a lot more about what is going on than some of those that do have the voting rights.
