Barbaro only was not yet great because of the tragedy at the Preakness. He might have been great, maybe he wouldn't have. Would have loved to seen that match up against Bernardini. Personally I think Barbaro would have had more heart than Bernardini at the wire of the BCC vs. Invasor.

Regarding history, I am not qualified to compare Alex, Big Brown, Barbaro, et all with the great horses before them. The real problem with me saying great horse in Afleet Alex's case is because somebody created the category of "super horse." So if that is an actual category that I frequently see on this Board, then no Afleet Alex was not a Super Horse but yes, he was a "great" horse.
