it's rare that i see something so overwhelming...........GOD BLESS YOU BARBARO ....and the people that brought the best in you.......you are a true hero......a champion.......
Makes me sad hearing all the wishing to could maybe possibly be and within seconds (as the racing world runs) all of this coming crashing down, what a waste, an amazing colt for sure. Keeping him alive with the injuries he had for so long is a controversial subject, some believing that it would go for a happy ending, others believing it was cruel, and money objective, whatever you think, everyone for the most part would agree that this was likely to be the next super horse, we'll never know.
Barbaro was far too perfect a soul to remain with we mortal humans for too long. That is why God took his reins and rode him off... now he's duking it out with Eight Belles, Ruffian, Pine, and more in the big racetrack in the sky. I salute you, Barbaro. RIP. Run alongside your brothers. We miss you every day... :')
This still breaks my heart. I just played dingerz's Derby and cldn't stop crying, that ache, that awful ache in pit of the stomach. I love you Barbaro...
Wonderful, wonderful Barbaro. The only race he ever lost was the one where he lost his life-Just like Ruffian. good night, Barbaro. You deserve a good rest.
call me superstitious ... but barbaro won as number 8 ... so did Mine That Bird ... maybe Mine That Bird will accomplish now what Barbaro so rightly deserved.
beautiful barbaro its so tragic what happened to him he didnt deserve it but now...hes waiting in heaven hes galloping across beautiful green feilds having the time of his life R.I.P Barbaro...
the superhorse awaiting and where michael says about watch a superstar run again. I think they are talking about secretariat and barbaro belongs in same league with that legend the best of the best they are if not for ill fate barbaro would be the best but he is best in my eyes
I've never been around a horse like Barbaro,but I have seen horses with supreme confidence in themselves. And yes you can see it,especially if you know what to look for. No matter how well bred a horse is,if they don't have the "heart" to compete they will never get it done. I believe with all my heart that they know when their good,and its that confidence that gets them thru tough going. Its always been that way and it will never change. You just try to be smart enough to realize it when u c it
Michael is so modest...Most trainers would take all the credit...Not Michael...Yeah he has to help him train and look after him...But like Michael said " Michael Matz, Kentucky Derby Champion, I don't look at it that way. Barbaro, Kentucky Derby Champion. He did all the work, I really just along for the ride."
Barbaro you are the BEST of the BEST...No one can compete with you. Curlin, Big Brown, who are they...
Michael Matz isn't just a top horse trainer...But for seeing everything he did with Barbaro he was what all trainers should be live...Loving of the horses they train...Michael Matz you are a legend...
Barbaro I have never known you...But I feel like I do known you...I shouldn't be upset knowing you are in a better place, but it does make me sad to know you were taken so young and you were going to make history...you are part of history now..
Michael Matz isn't just a top horse trainer...But for seeing everything with Barbaro he was all trainers should be live...Loving of the horses they train...Michael Matz you are a legend...
Barbaro I have never know you...But I feel like I do know you...I shouldn't be upset but it does make me sad to know you were taken so young and you were prob not at you peak...
i love this video it's so good an michale matz was sop good to that horse i love barbaro so much and i miss him alot to he was the best horse in the world and ill never forget him he will be in my heart forever!
is the doc on dvd...I want to get it...He was destined to be the greatest racehorse of all time...Pity it didn't happen for him like we all knew it should have happened...
Where did you find this? I am very interested in finding pre-race coverage from various races.

I know right?! Like Rick Dutrow...eehh . Micheal Matz is a LOT more modest..and thats the kind of trainer i want to see win.
KidmanForever 3 years ago 12
I know, this might sound a bit harsh, but I am actually a tad glad that Big Brown did not win the Triple Crown.
I mean, we would have never heard the end of Dutrow and his bigass mouth. We need a trainer like Matz to win the crown ya know. He really deserves it.
Let's just hope that one of Barbaro's siblings will bring him there, in hopes to accomplish a, "to good to be true story"
But I totally agree.
