Not the Best Pharlap was is and always will be the best. America was so scared of Pharlap the poisoned him. Barbaro was great but can not claim the Best 2 countries still fight over Pharlap 80 years on in the depression he was the only relief for people and when he went up against the top American houses of his day he was injured and still one effortlessly. Pharlap was really the best of the best
Who are you people to play God over God's creatures? ..."he would have been the best...he lives in my heart.....I will ALWAYS remember him......I believe he is in heaven...willing himself to live. People like you should be getting saliva tests not the horses. The horse was physically inferior period. He broke down...get it. Broke down....unable to continue. Could not take the physical demands required no matter what the reason. Call it what you want you whackos. Sick and poor children Horses?
i believe Barbaro is in heaven and my red mustang, Ronny, is teasing him to race. my own "Little Red" loved to race and i can just see his little fireball alongside Barbaro and they're having a ball!!! can't hurt yourself running on those fluffy clouds!!
BTW......this horse was dead on his feet when he broke down. That was simply ashame what they put this poor animal through. Every horseman in America KNEW it was over with that catastrophic injury he sustained. But they played the emotional rescue game with the public until the day he was put down. The they collected the insurance money. Poor Barbaro but not poor owners.
@danc317@danc317 Maybe because they saw what many of us saw. A horse willing himself to live from the very moment he sustained the injury, and managed to stay balanced while coming to a halt from a full gallop. A horse with the unusual temperament that was extremely cooperative with vets as they worked on him. A horse that was too good to die. A horse that had many good days during those 8 months of fighting death. Barbaro willed his caregivers into giving him a chance. An Invincible Spirit!
Oh My! I feel the same way, but could not put into words . . .until yours! My sister is a vet and never gave him a chance but I knew he would live . . .because of his eyes . . .owners and research. Even my sister said "we know more than we do because of Barbaro. Thank you Prado for stopping him by ripping the saddle off and saying "we are done", he saved his life in my eyes! What a smart move on Prado part . . .
Simply the best? Simply the best for the simple minded. Think before you speak when you use the word THE "BEST" .The horse broke down and ultimately failed. That is sad but that is fact. The word best and great are reserved for those who have achieved what no other has nor probably ever will and then you think and say..
S E C R E T A R I A T.................end of story / no equal / unmatched Simply the best
@danc317 Barbaro's positive impact on veterinary medicine, and horse rescue far surpasses Big Reds. Millions have been raised because of him. He won the Derby in a field of 20 horses. Big Red only had to vie against a field of 13. Barbaro was undefeated. Big Red was not. Never uses the word "fail" and Barbaro together. His positive, truly meaningful influence on the welfare of other horses far surpasses any race horse to date, including Secretariat. Barbaro Simply is the Best, Period!
looked like he coulda been the best but 6 wins... doesnt do it for me , Secretariat then Man O' War , if we go by what could of happened i would go Phar Lap lol
Believe it or not, I do see your point but my heart is extremely large and it has enough room for the causes you mentioned and animals. You see, animals just like children are dependent on the kindness of those humans around them and therefore should be taken care of with the utmost amount of love. I respect those that gave gifts to Barbaro and am glad that human feelings for the love of animals shown. Don't be to quick to judge actions until you know what motives them.
@Gretadavon It's one thing to love a horse, but what I found sickening is that people spent money on gifts for this horse. Stuffed animals, flowers, get well cards and what not. It was insanely stupid and speaks a lot of the human condition. People will shed a tear and spend money for an injured horse that belongs to a rich family instead of using the cash and care to more needy people like sick and homeless children.
@Gretadavon A large portion of these gifts come from rich families that more than likely ignore children in needs. If a person loves animals, that fine. But to go to that extra effort vs going to an extra effort to help children in need is quiet sad. You talk about how animals are dependent for kindness, even though more than likely Barbaros owners gave him this kindness. But when it's complete strangers that do this for a rich horse is beyond sad.
@godzilla1077 We all have our causes and other injustices. I hope we learn and grow . . I am thankful that you still view this video. . .that means his spirit is still alive
@Gretadavon I didn't view this video, I read an old article on SI and it made me sad that people would go to this length for a horse but not needy children. I came on this video to throw in my 2 cents.
Nicanor had a bruise on his left hind leg and was put out of training for 2 months. But he's down in Florida right now. And Lentenor finished third in his first race at Keeneland over the poly-track. Then he finished second at Aqueduct over the turf. He's also headed down to Florida. La Ville Rouge foaled a full brother again this March. The colt was weaned in September or October. And Rouge is very pregnant with the filly. She's determined to have big babies by Dynaformer!!!
You're very welcome!!! But there is some bad news.....La Ville Rouge lost her filly on Christmas Eve. The announcement was made Wednesday after Lentenor won his maiden down at Gulfstream. She aborted it and no one knows why. Rouge was perfectly healthy. I kind of knew that this would happen.
@naturesroses I know. I was hoping the filly would be delivered safely and healthy, but unfortunately I found out the day Lentenor broke his maiden in Florida. By the way......Lenny finished fourth in the Florida Derby, his only off the board race.
His full brother, Nicanor is about to be 3! I am watching hin . . . .The Jackson's tried everything to save Barbaro and I thank them. Just watch Nicanor
well i know that! i was using a metaphor. just being able to run with the wind in your face and a hole bunch of people cheering for u. must be a good feeling
No. Barbaro was trained by Michael Matz who is now training Nicanor who is Barbaro's full brother. Barbaro also has a second full brother Lentenor. Maybe one or both of his brothers can make it to the Kentucky Derby.
I think this crazy racing is just horrible for the poor horses. Maybe it'd be okay if the horeses wouldn't be so young, but to send two or three year old animals with such a weight on their backs in such a speed is nothing more but terrible abuse!! They're not even grown up in that age and have to run such hard races! :(
My heart went to Barbaro. I have no feelings for any TBs racing now, triple crown or not. And with Pine Island and Eight Belles, pretty much put all the nails in the coffin of my interest.
i miis barbaro so much ive been watching him since he started raceing and i got to meet him i love him i cant blivie his gone R.I,P barbaro!!!!!!!!!!!!
Darcy -- Actually, I read that Barbaro was cremated. I believe his remains were scattered were scattered at Churchill Downs, as well as the Kentucky Derby museum. The Jackson family wanted Barbaro's fans to be able to pay respects without paying admission to the museum.
He won the 131st Kentucky Derby. He ran in The Preakness, where he shattered his rear right leg. They tried to save him, but the Jacksons decided to have him put down. His leg was healing greatly, but he got laminitis in his rear left leg. Because if the shift in how much weight got put on his leg, the infection was pretty bad.
He's the USA version of magic. Barbaro blessed the public with speed, grace, courage, and heart we haven't seen since the 1970s. He was like Ruffian, Secretariat, and Alydar rolled into one. Do a little research on him, if you have time...he's brilliant.
R.I.P Barbaro. I know your running out there with all those horses every race. Your legacy will ALWAYS live on. You will hopefully live through your brother. You were my next Triple Crown winner. Run free like the wind and we will all see you again one day. :(
Horse racing is a cruel sport. This would of never happend to barbaro if racing wasnt a sport...barbaro didnt deserve to die.... if he didnt race and wasnt pushed so hard... he would of lived without pain and lived longer.
Hey Stupid ASS, In respect to this vid and the person who did a grt job posting it. I will try my best to refrain . Barbaro shattered hes hind leg , following several surgeries to save hes life he developed laminitis in hes front legs,rather having him suffer from this disease they reluctantly put him down.
A male horse that has not been castrated is known as a colt until its fifth birthday,if you are referring to the fact that young thoroughbreds are put down at such a young age its this bracket that many thoroughbreds compete
I just finished reading the article re Barbaro in the Aug 07 Vanity Fair...every fan must read! Michael Matz, Barbaro's trainer, was also an Olympic equestrian and a survivor and hero of the terrible plane crash in the cornfield near Sioux City. Unbelievable story!!! Great video.
it makes me worry about my 2 boys. It is so sad when you have to see such a srtong baby doll faced horse go down like this. He raced well and we will all miss him! I hope he is eating the tastiest grass in hevan!
Now is the time for all of us horse lovers to step up! Thousands of horses are being slaughtered right now in the US for human consumption.Even Racehorses and pregnant mares are killed. USDA studies show over 92% of horses slaughtered are healthy and 3 out of 10 contain unhealthy chemicals.
Iskrad. There are some horses that if you whip them they will balk, rear, throw you. So Barbaro had a choice, he didn't have to race! He wanted to! He was born champion!
Oh but he can! You can put a horse in the gate, but you can't make him run. They have to have more than speed. It doesn't matter how well they are bred, how hard they are trained, how hard they are whipped. If you watch the video of the Kentucky Derby the day Barbaro won, you will see an enormous field of horses. All well bred, all well trained, all being ridden as hard as the jockey could ride. But only ONE with an undeniable WILL TO WIN. BARBARO.
Barbaro will forever be in our HEARTS!!! He was a true CHAMPION, in every sense of the word! We'll miss you & love you FOREVER Barbaro! He was "SIMPLY THE BEST"!
I truly miss this guy. He would have been the 12th Triple Crown winner hands down. I hope his brothers, Nicanor and the new born, will win the Triple Crowns. I really really really hope they do. I'll definetely be rooting for those boys.
I'm a student from Germany. It was an amazing horse and I'm so sad about his death. I know how difficult it's to say goodbye to a horse you love, because I needed to do it too. I hope he will be never forgotten and I'm sure that he would be the next Triple Crown winner, if he stayed alive. But it does't matter whether he wins or not he's a hero and he'll be one for eternity.
I like the movie very much because it express how great he was and the music is 'simply the best'! =)

R.I.P Barbaro. I know your running out there with all those horses every race. Your legacy will ALWAYS live on. You will hopefully live through your brother. You were my next Triple Crown winner. Run free like the wind and we will all see you again one day. :(

Horse racing is a cruel sport. This would of never happend to barbaro if racing wasnt a sport...barbaro didnt deserve to die.... if he didnt race and wasnt pushed so hard... he would of lived without pain and lived longer.
Nice video.. barbaro will be forever missed

Hey Stupid ASS, In respect to this vid and the person who did a grt job posting it. I will try my best to refrain . Barbaro shattered hes hind leg , following several surgeries to save hes life he developed laminitis in hes front legs,rather having him suffer from this disease they reluctantly put him down.

A male horse that has not been castrated is known as a colt until its fifth birthday,if you are referring to the fact that young thoroughbreds are put down at such a young age its this bracket that many thoroughbreds compete

I just finished reading the article re Barbaro in the Aug 07 Vanity Fair...every fan must read! Michael Matz, Barbaro's trainer, was also an Olympic equestrian and a survivor and hero of the terrible plane crash in the cornfield near Sioux City. Unbelievable story!!! Great video.

Now is the time for all of us horse lovers to step up! Thousands of horses are being slaughtered right now in the US for human consumption.Even Racehorses and pregnant mares are killed. USDA studies show over 92% of horses slaughtered are healthy and 3 out of 10 contain unhealthy chemicals.

Iskrad. There are some horses that if you whip them they will balk, rear, throw you. So Barbaro had a choice, he didn't have to race! He wanted to! He was born champion!

Oh but he can! You can put a horse in the gate, but you can't make him run. They have to have more than speed. It doesn't matter how well they are bred, how hard they are trained, how hard they are whipped. If you watch the video of the Kentucky Derby the day Barbaro won, you will see an enormous field of horses. All well bred, all well trained, all being ridden as hard as the jockey could ride. But only ONE with an undeniable WILL TO WIN. BARBARO.

He (Barbaro) wouldn't have had it any other way. He was a Champion. Not because they wanted him to be one, but because HE wanted to be one.

I truly miss this guy. He would have been the 12th Triple Crown winner hands down. I hope his brothers, Nicanor and the new born, will win the Triple Crowns. I really really really hope they do. I'll definetely be rooting for those boys.

I'm a student from Germany. It was an amazing horse and I'm so sad about his death. I know how difficult it's to say goodbye to a horse you love, because I needed to do it too. I hope he will be never forgotten and I'm sure that he would be the next Triple Crown winner, if he stayed alive. But it does't matter whether he wins or not he's a hero and he'll be one for eternity.
I like the movie very much because it express how great he was and the music is 'simply the best'! =)
