Mike,
Perhaps Barbaro won by the largest margin in 60 years because he was beating nothing? Remember, even Secretariat's winning margin in the Belmont was vs. 4 also rans, and none of them a world beater. That's not to say Barbaro won't be a great horse someday, but I doubt Barbaro could warm up Secretariat at this stage in their careers.
