Well...hard one! With those horses, I'd lean toward Point Given or Barbaro with Smarty in there as well. I'm a bit concerned about Point Given over the surface so...if forced to pick, I'd go:
Smarty
Barbaro
Point Given
But I'd damn sure box them!

barbaro
smarty
fupeg
alex


keep in mind that no horse the last 60 years won by as large a margin as barbaro--and he went by everyone with barely a nudge. man that horse made it look so easy that day. and against what many many people said was the deepest field in years.

Oh man, that's tough! Smarty and Barbaro in a photo with Smarty gutting out the edge, followed by Alex, PG and Funny Cide.

avance, what a fun post! Thanks!

I'll go with Smarty. Though Point Given is awfully tempting...

And Euro, what a great response. I was enjoying watching the imaginary race you created unfold in my mind.

Did you guys watch the Breeder's Cup special a few years back when they did a hypothetical match-up of the winners of all the Classics up until that point? Kind of silly, but kind of fun, too.
