I may not be the only expert in this area, but no one else was speaking up or giving me any information to think otherwise. Rupert Pupkin is also an expert in the subject on this board. Larphage is good at it too. I will do a complete analysis on both barbaro and bernardini when I get back. I will say that Barbaro had very bad conformation, but he was built like a cheetah meaning that he was very, very fast. Also keep in mind that judging can be rather opinionated.
