To nitpick the Barbaro race is being ridiculous. Giacomo, sure, but he said it was a stretch. There are many good examples of dominating performances on that list and you pick out two? Come on.

LOOOOL, so we can nitpick a narrow victory by Verrazano, but we can't nitpick a much more narrow victory by Barbaro? Why not?
Did IHA run the fastest Beyer in the last round of Derby preps? Nope.
Did AK run the fastest Beyer in the last round of Derby preps? Nope.
Did Super Saver run the fastest Beyer in the last round of Derby preps? Nope.
Did MTB run the fastest Beyer in the last round of Derby preps? Nope.
Big Brown Did.
I then have to go all the way back to War Emblem to find another one. Which including that I'm sure helps your ROI.
Now, if you want to argue that racing and Derby prepping is the same today as it was 15 or 20 years ago, that is a whole other discussion, and if you are taking the position that it is, I highly disagree. But I do know that only once in the last 10 years has the highest last race BSF won the race, and that was Big Brown.
