He beat everything he faced. I guess my bias throws out the Belmont because he was pulled up and arguably had several other things going on including an injured hoof. Clearly his foot injury factored into
his just wins, but he still did it. Big Brown also faced the most horses in the history of the TC during those five weeks. His KY Derby was more impressive than Barbaro's even though Barbaro was a comparatively faster horse.
