Rest in Peace



It is hard to believe that is has been four years since Barbaro left this planet. January 29th was the four year anniversary of his passing and one of the best reflections on the Kentucky Derby winner was posted here and written by Bob Lazzari.

Short of copying the entire thing, I will urge you to read it for yourselves and leave with with this quote: "'Only' a horse? Hardly. Barbaro is a hero because he unknowingly united an adoring public while making the improbable seem possible: that's what genuine heroes do."

Alex's Brown book on the champion horse will be out this spring and will go a long way to preserving and protecting Barbaro's legacy
