Barbaro Special
For those of you with HRTV, this is old news since the special on Barbaro aired on April 3. This is a snippet from it. The premise behind the special was a retrospective on Barbaro five years out, and, as you can tell from the interview with Dean Richardson, a cure for laminitis remains an important focus of Barbaro's legacy.
I do not have HRTV and I am hoping that the DVD will eventually be available for purchase.
It is truly amazing that it has been five years since Barbaro ran away with the Kentucky Derby. In many ways, it seems like yesterday and in many ways, it seems like a lifetime ago.
One thing is for certain: his legacy remains alive, well and continuing to be written by his brothers as well as the many people who are doing such good work in his name.
