Again though, the point was not to debate which of the two is more deserving. That's unanswerable as to which is better. Personally, I think it's Bernardini easily. But who knows? The point was that if u think Bernardini could get the award as the best horse period, how could he not get it as the best 3yo? That doesn't make sense.

Bernardini easily??? Why is that ? Barbaro beat more horses in one race than Bernardini beat in 3 and dont tell me Bernardini beat smaller but more quality horses than barbaro beat. In the Travers there was ONE grade one winner & one grade 2 winner. Lots of horses look good beating 4 & 5 horse fields.
