He also won in wire-to-wire fashion eight different times in his career -- not including his walkover win in the Woodward.

I'll Have Another beating Spectacular Bid and Sunday Silence is as absurd as the simulation they did where Zenyatta beat Citation, Affirmed, and other greats.

Another bad ride from Ronnie Franklin...

Well -- the video game loss did occur at 12 furlongs -- so he remains undefeated at all distances from 6.5 furlongs to 1 1/4 miles.

The Bid was a monster no doubt. As I said originally, I think he would crush that field.

Obviously, having seen Zenyatta take down Citation and Affirmed and I'll Have Another beat Spectacular Bid ... I knew Barbaro would be a lock in this race.

Not sure if he would have CRUSHED but, I think he would win 9 out of 10.
