The Holy Bull was a tough race on Barbaro.The comment in the chart was all out-lasted.He didn't work again for eighteen days(an easy breeze)and didn't race again for eight weeks.Matz took a couple of weeks to decide on bypassing the FOY.
The Florida Derby was another tough race on Barbaro(long drive according to the chart)and it's likely his TG sheet will indicate he drifted out.
In the case of Barbaro maybe 5 weeks off isn't too much time leading up to the Derby.Maybe its not enough.
