Barbaro raced twice at two and three times at three prior to the Derby, all his races were 8f or further with his last three preps being 9f! Yes he raced 3 times on the turf...he was an outstanding turf horse as well, certainly he had a good base! Blaming the two weeks between the Derby and Preakness for a bad step early in a race is hardly supported by the facts!
