Now does anyone still believe?...

Why do people keep saying that?

You think Barbaro could have handled the 1 1/2 of the Epsom Derby, or Maybe beaten Hurricane Run, Electrocutionist, and Hearts Cry yesterday at Ascot?

What about Deep Impact? Think Barbaro could have worked him?

Barbaro was a really good horse, there is no doubt about that. But I could think of quite a few horses that he couldn't touch on the weeds.

Certainly a valid point....Deep Impact and Hurricane Run are obviously the best in the world right now IN THEIR PRIMES, but I still believe that Barbaro had the potential to be the best turf performer in the world.
