A healthy Barbaro this past summer and fall, the only fist pumping Javier woulda been doing on Travers and Gold Cup Day in that case woulda been with his wee-wee.

Lets get it out in the open, I'm tired of dancing around it. Bernadini is a deserving champ, and any talk of him not getting the Eclipse is garbage, even Matz said so.
But people forget developmental growth, and how it translates to performance. Barbaro was lightly raced heading into the Derby, and responded with a huge win in which he annilhated 19 other horses. Anyone who thinks with his pedigree especially that he wasn't gonna just get better is high.
Lets have it out, who thinks Bern is champ is Barb doesn't go down?
I say no way. I say Barbaro was more talented.

BCJF-Melhor Ainda on dirt just once as a 2YO. her Miss Grillo at 2 was the best 2YO run of the year.
BCJ-Holy Bull in 1993. west coast or not, Brocco is not going to beat Holy Bull.
BCFMT-Alexandrova-would have won this year.
BCS-Left Bank-maybe 6f was not his best distance, but he was so damn fast he is going to beat just about any horse at that distance anyway.
BCM-Rock of Gibraltar-terrible ride and bad racing luck with Landseer cost him the race in 2002.
BCD-Oonagh Maccool-when right, I really dont believe there is any better.
BCT-lots to choose from that never even came over.
I will just say that I wanted to see Deep Impact run in the states and leave it at that.
BCC-Falbrav-wanted to see him try dirt in 2003.
there was not a better 8/10f horse on turf and there was so much to gain from trying dirt there.
the other of course is Dubai Millennium.
dont see how he loses that race no matter who is in there.

oh man!! i would LOOOOOVE to see round table do it all again. most records ever set by a horse was by him. tied or set 17. unbelievable, sound as a bell, dual-surface multiple champion. and then became a pretty good sire as well.

and i'd like to see swaps back with four good feet. there would be no stopping that guy if he had those.

Danzig,
Good that you like them.
I must admit I'm a bit prejudiced.
Darbay has Round Table and Alydar in her pedigree, and Bourbon Streettune has Swaps in hers. I should have also mentioned another, My Babu.
