Why would Jazil have paid back Barbaro for the Florida Derby? Jazil didn't even run in the Florida Derby.

Jazil DID run in the Wood, but Bob and John was the winner of that race. LOL

And for the record, the Preakness was the race that worried me the most with Barbaro... IMO, the Belmont would have been a romp for him. He was made to go long...

I agree with you there. Jazil is a nice horse, but a mile and a half wouldn't have been a problem at all for Barbaro. That is my opinion anyway based on Barbaro's previous performances.

In any case, as we stand today, w/o Barbaro, Dini is best 3yo and definitely not HOY till he wins BCC.

Don't get me wrong... I think that Bernardini already deserves best 3yo. He's won more on the track. BUT, I think that if Barbaro had stayed healthy, things would have been different.

Barbaro vs. Bernardini...

It would have made for a nice rivalry (sighs). At least, Barbs will most likely live

That is all that matters to me now.

I think back to Fupeg and how he did in the classic. If you are a contrarian you may bet against Berni to even show. Something to ponder I suppose. Right now I'd say Pleasant Tap is peaking.
