Once again, the most biased horse gets the win. NTRA simulations are crap, Bsrbaro was a great horse. But Silver Charm, was greater.

IM SO HAPPY BARBARO WON!! LOVE HIM FOR EVER!! HE IS THE BEST RACEHORSE IN THE WORLD TO ME

@queenluciaa I disagree

This is an aqmazing video! I am verry sorry for what happened to Barbaro… He was an amazing racehorse who captured the hearts of many fans, and could have captured the Triple Crown as well.

Yes, Barbaro was a very talented colt. But Silver Charm was just, greater you could say. His death was tragic, but I’m being realistic here. Had this gone by their derby times, Fusaichi Pegasus or War Emblem would have won.

Larry Collmus- Gulfstream Park/Monmouth hes calling the triple crown this year

Need to put the full results i wonder where big brown ran

They are not derby champions, they are derby winners

@queenluciaa , Barbaro came home in 24 flat for the Derby, thats amazing. Silver Charm won in 202 and 2, Barbaro won in 201 and 1, drawing off by 6+ lengths. Not saying Silver charm that improved as he got older isn’t better, but as of the Derby, I’ll take Barbaro. They still gave Silver Charm alot of respect here.

@coffeecat73
Considering Barbaro had the perfect trip, and had the rabbit of Showing Up. Sure.

@coffeecat73
Barbaro also never had to deal with Free House. The derby favorite in 2006, Sweetnorthernsaint, failed completely due to tangling with other pace setters such as Showing Up. So the race was practically made up for Barbaro. Silver Chamr held off a very hard closing Captain Bodget.

@queenluciaa Though I bet Barbaro would have won the Triple Crown unlike the others

Barbaro would have never defeated Bernardini in the Preakness, even if he hadn’t had his catastrophic injury. Bernardini had that race after the break from the gate. Barbaro, after busting through the gate earlier, did not break well at all. Bernardini broke perfectly…GAME OVER after that!

@gunloc26
I agree completely, Bernaridini was an EXTREMELY talented colt. Nuff’ said.
May 4th, 2011 at 3:37 pm
See Barbaro is the real champion!!!
May 4th, 2011 at 4:33 pm
@horwsegurl777 I agree

NBC and horseracegame are going to do another simulation for the upcoming 2011 Kentucky Derby, watch for it on the NBC broadcast.

That’s my boy. Always the best of the Best. Another sublime performance.

Why are people fighting here? This is just for fun this simulation. And don’t need to compare horses from different years and say ”this one is better than the other one” cause we’ll NEVER knows. No one, neither me or everyone of you. You can compare stats all day long and you’ll still never know.
May 10th, 2011 at 5:27 pm
@queenluciaa You do realized that Showing Up was running side by side with barbaro all way long? 0.o Don’t said ”Showing up tired everyone in front to let barbaro come from behind”, they were running together at the same speed, just 2-3 lenghts behind the front runners.

Has anyone seen the virtual Preakness fantasy race on nbcsports? See who wins between Rachel A, Afleet Alex, Smarty Jones, Louis Quatorze, Hansel, Silver Charm, Bernardini, Funny cide, War Emblem, Big Brown and more.
