I'd think that the Florida Derby and SA Derby would cancel each other out. The Travers and Haskell could cancel each other out. For me, considering what he'd have to beat in the BC Classic against what Big Brown faced in the TC races, Colonel John will have had to do more. I can't even remember who hit the board in the Derby and especially not in the Preakness. I think that if you take the names off of the races and just look at who they would have had to compete against to win the races they have, Colonel John with a win in the BC Classic would have a better resume than Big Brown. I'm not saying this would prove he's better but his accomplishments would be more impressive for me.
