William Nack, who's writings of thoroughbreds is like poetry, said of Barbaro: As he watched him come down the stretch at Churchill toward the finish line he had memories of Secretariat and believed tha Barbaro would win the Triple Crown, but he never got the chance. Still Barbaro ran just because he loved to run. We have had many great horses. I wonder what thoroughbred heaven must be like, what a field of runners can take to that track.
I honestly think this is one of the best videos about horses ever! I will always love, miss, and remember the GREAT BARBARO!!!! R.I.P. BARBARO Remembering you with love. You are still missed..
Eternally loved.Forever remembered for his Greatness and as a Kentucky Derby winner,Never Ever forgotten. Hope you can feel ALL the LOVE, and complete Adoration we are sending you BARBARO, You are so loved and deeply MISSED by so many R.I.P. Beautiful,Brave Boy!
I still sob over Barbaro. Thankyou for this awesome,moving vidieo.R.I.P.Barbaro I will always love and NEVER forget you.Also let's remember the great horses whose names we will never know.Let's all pray all the horses stay safe in this Saturday's Kentuckey Derby.
I don't know if he would have beaten Bernardini in the Preakness. But if he did, the Belmont would have been a foregone conclusion, as he would have relished the mile and a half. A career that may have known no boundaries. Turf, Dirt, Mud, it just did not matter. His story will forever remain unfinished, the athlete dying young. What could have been?
Barbarowouldn't have come CLOSE to immortal Secretariat's legacy. He was ultimately the fastest thoroughbred EVER. And because of poor Barbaro, you think he could have crushed Sec's time? NO HORSE would have trouched Secretariats record.
@PatriotGirl01 He certainly was a beautiful & beloved champion! Maybe he would have run a magnificent Trip Crown. But what was so great about Secretariat is he ran his ASTOUNDING Trip Crown without horrible injury - which is ssssoooo much better than the tragedy of Barbaro's shattered leg. Barbaro DID make one think of Secretariat in Ken Derby! I won't watch the Preakness - tooo much suffering! I think Secretariat was a PHYSICAL PHENOMENON; he hasn't been matched yet.
this vid is soo beautiful! i miss barbaro soo much! it was so sad that he had to go :( and it was even more sad that he had to be put down!!! I will never forget you barbaro!
No,they are not sent into slaughter. When racehorses retire, they are sometimes sold. As for the colts, they will be put up for stud and live out the rest of their lives like a normal horse. My friend owns an ex-racer.
I was watching the Kentucky Derby when he won. As well as the Preakness when he broke down. May he rest in peace with the rest of all the other great racehorses before him. And may his spirit keep running on the tracks where he heard his speed song that doesn't play no longer.
Sharon, some people do care about ex-racers. The Thoroughbred Retirement Foundation helps find ex-racers good homes. I have a TRF horse who has turned out to be a fantastic hunter, pleasure, and trail horse (TBs are versatile athletes). He's got a home for life with me. Look up the TRF, and support their work!!
He was such an awesome horse. sometimes foals r born that have something special. He had more than all of them put together. Rest in peace barbaro. you earned it. xx
i never met him..i cried wen i came home that day.and my mom said im sry libby hes gone.and i watched that morning he was winning the fight..butt he locked down.may he rest in peace.we'll see him again someday..up in heaven<3
i love you barbaro..ull be in my heart forever
can u tell me where 2 get the racing clips?i wanna make a dedication video
Anyone know the status of Nicanor? Last I heard he is going through a growth spurt.....but shouldnt he be running soon? I wish I could find out some way.
From what I've heard, he's still growing and is rather immature, plus he got a little sore in training so they eased it up a bit with him. He should be back to galloping soon and Matz is considering starting him in October. Barbaro only started twice at 2, in October and November, so we could see Nicanor then or this spring. No point in rushing him. :o)
You can log on to the Daily racing form web site and log in for free and use the option to let you know about certain horses..training,race dates and results..They will email you on anytime they get information..All you need is the horse's name...Brisnet also does this for free.They call it stable alert...
My x-friend told one of my BFF's to get over Barbaro, how could someone say this?? You can't forget a HERO like this. God took him away because he was unstoppable.
God didn't take hime. The devil took him. When my cat died I thought God took her away but the devil takes our beloeved horses and cats from us. I miss Barbaro & Eight Belles.
I just have this vision of a great green pasture of the all these beautiful beasts frolicking, playing, running, junmping, then they all take a cool drink from some eternal spring.
Eight Belles just joined them. Ruffian and Go For Wand are showing her all around.
Barbaro, is just hanging with Secretariat, Man O War, and Pegasus.
I love barabro i hope he is loving his life in horse heaven. I'm sobbing rightnow and all i want is Barbaro back. I wish he didnt have to go. I WANT BARABRO BACK!
i love your video and the song is really good tooo i miss him so much he's my favorit race horse i love him so much he was ment to be a triple crown winner!
Real champions both horse and rider, you can see the love of Edgar for Barbaro when he pads barbaro in the neck in the middle of flying race, when he kisses the great horse. Bravo los campeones
He was a common day superhorse, he never gave up, he was always so determined to end a race in the lead. That is what made him what he is. Everyone should fight like Barbaro fought for his life.
I was really shocked when I found out it was only a year. I thought it was like a decade or something cuz everyone was always talkin bout him, so so tragic. RIP Barbaro my boy...
great video and song choice. I can't believe it's already been a year. it seems like yesterday...I didn't want to believe it when my mom told me. Show those others up there your tail boy!
aw i wanted to cry! Barbaro was an amazing horse. If he wasnt put down and his leg healed, i told my dad to adopt him. i wanted to train him to jump :)
you must be very young...seeing how his owners hailed from Hunter/Jumper people, and the Jacksons had the money to keep him alive as long as they did, no one on earth would have ever taken "our boy" from the Jacksons. Besides, even after his multiple surgeries he was left with walking taking alot out of him, let alone would he ever have been able to trot again. But I do agree with you on one point? Every hunter/jumper in the world must have had that dream of having him in their own stable.
i think it's funny, around 2004 there was Smarty Jones who won 2 jewels of the Triple Crown, the Kentucky Derby and the Preakness. Barbaro only won the Kentucky Derby, but he's more famous, Barbaro captured the hearts of Americans! He's a horse in a million.
i love this horse :)
