Corinthian or Bernardini

I asked him after the Preakness if he thought Barbaro would have won if he wasn't hurt and he said maybe but Bernardini was likely just as good as Barbaro on the dirt. He thought Barbaro would be the better of the two at the Belmont distance but that Bernardini was going to be an all-time great. They said they knew about Bernardini all along so it wasn't really a surprise. Barbaro still won the big one though and let's just hope he makes it back to the farm.
