Bye, Barbaro
| Kentucky Derby Winner – Barbaro |
I\’ve had a love for horses my whole life. Riding used to be my greatest joy. I\’ve had many close friendships with these beautiful beasts.
Today, Barbaro lost the fight, but it was a valiant battle by horse, doctors
and everyone involved.
The injury happened during a false start at the Preakness and they\’ve been
trying to save his life ever since. Barbaro was euthanized because of a setback
and the fact that the doctors couldn\’t guarantee there would be no pain after another surgery.
What a glorious animal. What a fighter. What a winner.
