Ok. Good answer. I give with this other person though. I just fail to understand how someone can sit there and say that a horse can be the best horse in the country but not even the best 3yo. I guess that's like taking the recent World Series title that the Chicago White Sox won........as the best team in baseball.....and giving it to the Cubs, who weren't even the best team in their city.

Presently, Barbaro has more earnings because of the Derby purse. Regarding what they have done on the track, Bernie has a very slight edge

Barbaro..2 G1s and 2 G3s
Bernie....2 G1s, a G2, and a G3

Let's just have a horse-petting party and get it over with.

Horses who raced in the derby are coming back to the track now and really asserting themselves, which goes to prove what kind of field it was Barbaro trounced...Showing Up (wins the G1 Secretariart), Lawyer Ron (wins the St. Louis), Bluegrass Cat (wins the G1 Haskell), AP Warrior (wins a stakes race on turf), Point Determined (wins a stakes race), Jazil (wins the G1 Belmont)...
other horses beaten include Brother Derek (G1 Santa Anita winner), Bob and John (G1 Wood winner), Sweetnorthernsaint (IL winner), Sinister Minister (G1 Bluegrass winner)...

Very very good points. I think everyone has always maintained that the 2006 Derby field was one of the most talented in some time.

i've seen it given the highest praise, that it compares to the field which included iron liege, bold ruler, gallant man and round table. best since then has been said more than once....
