No way that race should be worth that much money. The point is, and Kentuckyrosesinmay made it quite well, this isn't about what the best story is. Take the emotion out of it, if you can. When Bernardini wins the JCC, I hope you will then give him his credit.

lol, my comparisons have nothing to do with emotion. they were both legit, where was the emotion in putting up all those facts about who won what, and when?
if i was emotional i'd be comparing barbaro to all time greats, gushing about his fight for his life, etc etc. i haven't said anything about what the best story is. i've given both horses credit for what they've accomplished.
thanks for putting up something concrete to oppose what i've said, rather than just jumping on 'you're emotional'. what have i said regarding their records that was incorrect?
i'm not sure how much more credit i can give to bernardini, perhaps you've missed my other posts about him. and showing what barbaro accomplished doesn't take away from bernardini. they are both amazing. all i'm saying is AT THIS POINT (again and again) they are even. it's why i've said that bernardini is in the cat bird seat, the eclipse is his to win or lose. barbaro can do nothing more. bernardini can. he keeps going as he has been, the statue is his. that won't bother me a bit.
