They loved this horse dearly, and your analysis is way off. Without a doubt they thought he could win this race and be declared a champion. Aidan O'Brien isn't an idiot.
Maybe Barbaro broke down as well because he was a "true turf horse..."
Pure rubbish, all of this ****.
Racehorses break down, and the Ballydoyle team loved him just as much as anyone else loves any horse.

Champion of what?
I'd guess that it wasn't Aidans choice to run
