oh yeah.....for sure. he would have only had two starts at 3 in that case, which means he would have no foundation at all. if that race had been on the 31st barbaro would have completely fallen apart in the last eigth and finished 12th.
also, horses that win the derby have rarely run on december 31st. it is known as the "new year's eve curse." why do you think matz waited until the first to run him. he is a clever bugger that matz.
