Sorry to bust the bubble, but the people who really KNOW pedigrees had no doubt about Barbaro; his sire stayed and his dam stayed. The half-baked pedigree ideas of the average racing analyst do not reflect the opinions of the pedigree consultants to top breeders and other real experts. Check out what Avalyn Hunter wrote at the Blood-Horse (or was it TT?).
