  • i wish i got to see him in real life bc i heard stuff about him and he seems like a really good horse and every time i hear the story i makes me want to cry and i really mean it and i wish i could meat him or got to see him real life and i love his books bc im reading one right now and its really good but i miss him so much :-( :-( :-( :-(

  • I miss him.....

  • the song matches well with the pics!

  • Tonight I watched a documentary on HBO about Barbaro. He was so big and beautiful. It was so sad what happened to him. This horse was loved very much.

  • R.I.P u were one of the greatest race horses of all time. they made u fight and u never gave up! u are truly a legend and will be remembered forever! I love u and miss u c u in heaven!

  • what do u mean, "They made u give up", Barbaro never gave up, at least not till the very end, but they didn't make him whatsoever

  • Oh god, he was truly one of the greats, lost before his time. The look of eagles, you could see it, without having to see him run. I still weep over his loss. Nice video.

  • This is a great song for this Horse! He was a really true champion..i hope he will soar freely in heaven!! R.I.P. Barbaro!! WE LOVE U BARBARO!!!!

  • that horse is amazing. good job

  • Only the good die young R.I.P Barbaro!

  • I MISS HIM!!! :(

  • i started crying how sad

  • R.I.P. Barbaro. You faught long and hard. You showed us courge and strenght but you couldent do it all. You are one of a kind and your soul will always run free. You are also alive in our hearts...-sniffs- Love the video also...-sniffs again- Poor boy.

  • This video made me cry.... I LOVE U BARBARO!!!!!!! R.I.P.!!!!! I hope your legacy will go on forever.

  • barbaro was a true champ.

    to me.  barbaro is the best....

  • Sweet boy. Truly one of a kind, R.I.P. big guy

  • i love barbaro so much. he is my favorite racehorse ever. it was sad that he had to go...i will never forget him!

    r.i.p barbaro...my big boy

  • Beautiful good job we love u Barbaro rip

  • these pictures were beautiful. at 1:45 and 2:05 his feet are off the ground, and these pictures make me believe the jockey's claim that he could fly. He was amazing. Everyone did the best they possibly could, who wouldn't with such an amazing horse? but his death showed us a gap in horse doctoring, and the vets are working to fill that gap. Barbaro would have won a triple crown if he hadn't died.

  • Barbaro was the best horse ever...he was called America's horse...this video makes me cry...barbaro i will never forget you...

    RIP barbaro

  • i cry every time i watch this video...

    *tears...*

    no joke....

  • This is a beautiful video. Would you consider adding it to the Alex Brown Racing group?

  • He was a great horse. I was lucky enough to see him race in person =) btw can anyone tell what this song is and who its by??

  • hus jokey loved him so much,

    an amazing bond.

  • we all miss u u will be in all horse luvers hearts forever

  • Barbaro we will allways remember the horse who gave his life all for one thing,His Jockey.I 3> u barb!

  • Edgar wanted to say hi to me after winning his 6,000th win. EDGAR & BARBARO FUREVER

  • Is someone screening the posts?  If not, nevermind. If so, then whoever's doing it, DO a better job.

  • Yes, I'm screening and I don't appreciate your rudeness. If you knew the disgusting things people say, you'd be happy I take the time to screen comments on this video. It's a necessity to prevent wars and hurt feelings, fortunately I'm the only one who has to witness the ignorance. I have a life. Sometimes I take weeks to sign onto this particular account. Other people don't complain. Sorry I took 2 whole hours to approve your post. You're lucky I approved it at all after that. Have a nice day.

  • Barbaro had one thing in common with other ill-fated horses like Ruffian and Eight Belles: his heart and competitive spirit was too strong for his magnificent body.

    I feel bad for jockey Edgar Prado, who was probably closer to Barbaro than anyone.

  • R.I.P. Big boy!! i love you!!!!

  • Barbaro is may horse Storm Walker's Cousin

  • R.I.P Barbaro. I will definitely remember you 10 years from now. He's certainly in Heaven running with the other legends. His run at the Kentucky was sublime, still pulling away after crossing the finish line. He's in my top 5 horses of ALL-TIME.

    R.I.P big man.

  • Can i ask did he sire any foals that will take his place? Someone let me no hes a very cute horse. RIP

  • We'll all miss u BARBARO and u too EIGHT BELLS! U were truly amazing! That goes for every horse that died and will die.

  • im writing a book about barbaro!hes the best horse ever!

  • barbaro was the sweetest horse that i have met in my lifeee!!! R.I.P.

  • barbaro was my uncles horse

  • omg:( i cryed when i saw this.. he truly was a truely wonderful horse..

    I love u BARBARO!!

  • i get teased every day at school cuz i miss Barbaro, which goes to show that some people have no hearts. luv ya barbaro. have fun racing Man o War and all the other greats

  • Sad, Tragic Story.. yet Happy, Amazing Life.

    I wish he would have survived.

    RIP Barbaro. They say that animals/pet's don't go to heaven, I don't believe that. How can my God create such an amazingly beautiful creature and just let it turn to dust. I cannot believe that.

  • i see Bararo in Hore Heaven with Secrateriat and Man O War and all the other champians racing and Barbaro is winning I LOVE U BARBARO

  • see Bararo in Hore Heaven with Secrateriat and Man O War and all the other champians racing and Barbaro is winning I LOVE U BARBARO

    And Eight Belles :(

  • aw!! poor barbaro!!! ): ): ):

  • I ride horses and that was the SADDEST day of my life My bffl told me that he had died and I burst into tears in front of my whole first pierod class I sprinted out of the class the teacher didn't even asked later that day I was just sitting in the bathroom crying. In fact I'm crying right now

  • its not just sad that he died..its sad when any horse dies..horses are some of the most amazing animals on this planet..its tragic when any of these beautiful creatures go through what barbaro had to go through..R.I.P

  • Thank you someone who truly believes me that horses are amazing animals

  • I feel sooo sorry for the people who took part in this wonderful horse's life. He was a great horse. I feel bad for what he had to go through. R.I.P. Barbaro

    r.i.p barbaro i love you now and for ever!

  • Barbaro was so beautiful. It's really amazing that he won the Kentucky Derby by 6 1/2 lengths without being touched, even though he liked turf better. I'll remember him forever, he will always be a champion.

  • amazinggggggggggggggggg<3<3<3<­3<3<3333333

  • aww bless him he truely luved to run and refused to give it up even though he was in pain! :( R.I.P sweet one!

  • I miss barbaro he was the best!!!

    R.I.P Barbaro

  • We love you Barbaro

  • Flying across the ground as he turned the race to home always in the lead. Flying across the grass in his pasture after a day of work always happy. Now Barbaro flys across something greater then any of us. He flys across heaven never in pain never tiring but always remembered.

    R.I.P Dear friend we love you so much!

  • the most race horse with the most heart.. he still wanted to run he had the heart he never failed and never wanted to give up.. and i will always rememeber you the most barbaro

  • really good video we all will miss barbaro

  • FUCK WHYD GOD DO THAT NOT THat I HATE EM BUT WY THE BEST HORSE OF ALL TIME!

  • The only reason why God made this happen is because he didn't want another TC winner and Barbaro was the one who had the most petentional. The only way God could stop him was to break him down.......very tragic :'(.. But he won the hearts of many... Gosh I loved this horse!!

    I'd give anything to see him dash across the finish line of the Preakness & Belmont leading the pack of 06', being the 12 horse EVER to win the Triple Crown!

    RIP you beautiful horse!!! I can't wait to see you in Heaven! :)

  • THIS IS SO SAD!! I MISS BARBARO

  • oh this is so tragic the exact same thing happened to my horse a month ago :( he shattered his right hind pastern bone :(

  • i have met barbaro and took a picture of him. ig got that picture blown up and its hanging in my room with a heart around it :(

    I know he is in heaven looking down on each na done of the horses he has met and he is running frealy on the golden race tracks in heaven RIP barbaro we love you!!!!!!!!!

  • LONG LIVE BARBARO!! you will be missed but never forgotten

  • wow...I cried so hard for this video. Great tribute to a truly amazing horse. thank you!

  • that is a good video sad that barbaro died

  • A beautiful Tribute to The One And Only.

    It's a really nice remembrance of him.

    Thank you.

    It's an Awesome Vid.

  • i was wondering why so much of the great horses have the same marks or almost the same , as look at bb and babaro and curlin and casino drive well NICE VID im sure the 2 brothers will be awsome tc aloha jp

  • im not into racing honestly i think it is cruel. what happened to him? obviously his leg but yeah what actually happened?

  • This is so beautiful

  • If any of you guys have HBO On Demand, you need to watch the Barbaro tribute on there.

    It's really moving....

    Good Vid.

  • this vid is awesome. it makes me want 2 cry though! he looked like he was so happy judt 2 be here. AK

  • A moving, magical tribute. The photo at 3:08 of the jockey being comforted breaks my heart. 4:13 is my favorite photo of Barbaro. He knows that whatever is being done to him is to help him. His intelligence is obvious.

  • I'm sure Barbaro is in Heaven, watching down on his brothers and running on the track with his guiding spirit. I really believed he was going to be the TC winner in 2006. Well, in my book, he is the 2006 TC winner.

    R.I.P Barbaro, I'm not saying bye because we all will see you again.

  • why? why god did you make this happen

  • Beautiful Video.

  • No Horse will Replace Barbaro in the Hearts of Americans.

    Rest in Peace Barbaro, we love you!

  • nice video it made me cry i miss him soo much he was such a great horse he's my favorit race horse and he whould make the best triple crown winner!

    R.I.P BIG BOY I LOVE YOU NOW AND FOREVER

  • This is a gr8t vid! I LOVE Barbaro so much,and I will always remember him for as lon as long as I live! Barbaro as a great horse,and a fantastic horse-racing legend! Barbaro I love you!!!!!!

  • Aww,this is so sa,I almost cried...RIP Barbaro,and Eight Belles...;(

  • I loved Barbaro, beautiful and a champ :(

  • R.I.P Barbaro and Eight Belles :(

  • that horse had a passion to run at the preakness wen he broke out of the starting gate he wanted to run so bad u cud tell its just horrible something like this had to happen to him and now eight belles rip both of u

  • this vid made me cry r.i.p. barbaro

  • sad i watch his doucementary it was sayed.. I wish he was still alive

  • Barbaro, as a 3 year old thoroughbred accomplished more than 99% of the population. What a special soul he is.

    RIP Barbaro...We will never forget.

  • We have lost another great horse. Eight Belles. I hope she and Brabaro go racing.I can just hear the hoofs running in the sky.

  • I have always said my biggest sport questions ever are:

    1. Mike Tyson vs. Muhammad Ali

    2. Arnold Palmer vs Tiger Woods

    3. Would Barbaro have won the Triple Crown?

    He was an unbelieveable horse, and there is almost no doubt in my mind he would have, and would have been considered one of horse racing elite horses with Man O' War and Secretariat

  • I am sure he wiuld have won the Triple Crown.

    Chelokee, Eight Bells and Barbaro where all great horses.so sad. But I heard Churchill downs is building a Memorial for Eight Bells and Barbaro at Gate 10. It was the Jockey of Big Browns Idea. It will have both Horses made out of medle standing there welcomeing people to Churchill downs.

  • When Barbaro died, the World lost a great horse. I will never forget you Barbaro. You will always live on in my heart. Goodbye to a true champion, one of which we may never see again..<3

  • Still hurts to see him pull up. Rest in peace, Barbaro... you were a true warrior.

  • Beutiful video! :( I miss him! He was a great horse!atleast hes in a better place were He does not feel pain...MISS YOU :(

  • i know what it is like to lose a really great horse my grandpa owned a lot of race horses and he had to put some down but i do remeber Y M I SO GOOD favorite horse RIP BARBARO

  • I heard Barbaro's dam had a colt that looked exactly like Barbaro! Barbaro never lived to see his brother, but maybe the legacy of Barbaro's amazing courage and strength can be carried on one more time.

  • best horse EVER....

  • Man did i start to cry♣

  • he died 3 days after my birthday and when i saw that it happened, i went into shock, i didn't cry til like three days after it happened, but thei i spent like the whole day crying and watching videos of him

  • *cries* i used to have dreams, almost like memories of riding on a racehorse, my own horse, but as he becoame more attached to my heart, the horse, looked more and more like him. now my dreams have faded the memories are blurried. i feel like 1/2 of me was missing. I also used to think i was a Centar, my father was adopted and i would pretend Barbaro was my grandpa, but now..all is faded in my heart, i cry a lot when i think of him, the day he was put down i cried myself to sleep. GOODBYE BUDDY!

  • one beautiful horse always will be a winner and we shall never forget him

  • Great video I was watching the news when they decided to put him down. It was soooooooo sad. I ♥ Barbaro.

  • Beautiful video.

    He was a beautiful horse. You can almost see tears in his eyes in the photos from Preakness.

  • This is soo sad I cried the first time I saw it :'( !! boo hoo!

    Good video though

  • Barbaro was an extrodinary horse as were his doc, riders, jokey and owners. He was loved and what is better yet, he loved us all back as well as "his" friends. :) He is running free now. I will NEVER lose that piece of my heart that is only for Barbaro.

  • i miss barbaro soooo much

    and will  never forget him

    great video

  • BEAUTIFUL..WE MISS YOU BOBBY

  • The best I have ever seen,,we miss you Bobby.

  • he is not only a legend. here is what he is,

    Barbaro: America's Horse

  • this horse was loved and cared for. the fact that hes not here anymore *sniffles* is just horrible. i think hes in a good place now where no one can hurt him and hes watching down on us saying, "Thank You"

    ♥♥♥♥♥♥ We Love You, Barbaro!!!

  • A True Champion :-(

  • racing has killed so many champions barbaro ruffian and many more..........

    :_(

  • I love it. Barbaro was a great beautiful horse and we will always remember him. Like it says in mine. He could have wo ad I know he would have.

  • I LOVE your choice of song

  • dang this made me cry... i miss him so.. : (

  • r.i.p buddy may your legacy live on

  • i loved that horse but these things happen and just think he's in a better place and he's not in pain.

  • To this day does anyone know what went wrong? Barbaro was in a state of agitation before the fateful race even started. Some might find it hard to believe but maybe he had a premonition.

    What a magnificent and beautiful creature he was.

  • yea he got laminitis in both of his fronts and they put him down because his pain was no longer manageable . He could not stand comfortably on any of his feet and they could not keep him in a sling for more than a few hours at a time. he was a sweet heart and it was sad to see him go. i was lucky enough to be able to know him before he died.

  • Thanks for the response :) I know all about Barbaro's failed recovery but I was posing the question of why Barbaro broke his leg in the first place and I was wondering if he somehow knew in that little head of his what was coming.

  • Thanks for the response. Yea I was aware of the unfortunate failed recovery. I found it interesting though that Barbaro wasn't himself leading up to the Preakness race. Nothing at all was wrong with him physically until he injured his leg a few seconds into the race.  With the false start and all I just wondered if he possibly could have known. Some creatures, especially horses, seem to kind of have a sixth sense.

  • Why do all the race horses breakdown??*tears*

    Ruffian died about the same way, :'(

    Luv You Barbaro and Ruffian !!

  • Yes, anyone who loves animals, particularly horses had to have been heartbroken over Ruffian. She was probably the greatest racing filly of all time but she never got to prove it. Just like Barbaro was destined to be up there with the greatest colts with the likes of Man o'War, Secretariat and Seattle Slew but he also never got to prove it.

    Barbaro's Derby time of 2:01 was 8th best in history, less than 2 seconds behind Secretariat's record in '73 and only cuz he paced for 3/4 of the race.

  • he was so strong if only he could still be here today

  • great video i liked the pics. miss and lov you Barbaro!!!

  • beautiful video

    bought tears to my eyes ^_^

  • he was such an amazing horse he didn't deserve to die

  • it reminds me of my 28 year old horse. i rescued him3 years ago from his owner she abused him. but i couldnt pay for his vet bill so i had to sell him!!! i miss him so so so so so so so much!!!!!!!!!!! i love my horsey pb!!!!!!

  • I MISS BARBARO!!!!=[ i cried when he died and i still do.He will be in our hearts FOREVER. And he will never be forgotten

  • *tears*

  • So much courage...We miss him and will keep him in our hearts forever

  • As the Triple Crown chase begins, memories of previous champions emerge. I was at Belmont when Secretariat buried the field, and cheered Affirmed at each race he defeated Alydar. Alydar's death (if he was human it would have been murder for hire) was tragic enough. Barbaro was a champion for the ages. A horse who showed heart even through adversity. RIP.

  • Barbaro you will be remembered for ever...the greatest race horse of all time!

  • After we had hope and he started recovering then he jjust... couldn't fight anymore. I love this song. We will always have memories of the great Barbaro.

  • this is so sad it made me cry! barbaro was the sweetest horse in the world!!!! i cried for LITTERALY two weeks after he was put down!! his accident was even worse. i was watching that race where he fell i cried!

    rest in peace barbaro i will miss you.

  • o my god, that is the best video i've ever watched on youtube. It was amazing and i nearly cried. It was ssssooooo good. Thanks for making it. Everyone will remember him because greatness lives through the years.

  • May God Bless that Horse. He must be running in huge open fields in heaven, having a blast!!! God Bless that miracle...

  • my friend sent this to me and I literally bawled my eyes out...great vid..HE'LL BE FOREVER MISSED...the song adds greatly to the video to

  • Barbaro will always be in our hearts. He is up in heaven racing with the other horses, and he always will be. Barbaro was, is, and always will be America's spirit, America's horse.

  • we will rememember barbaro

  • He was a great friend, racer, and competitor.

    He just had bad luck.

    It could happen to any horse.

    May he rest in peace with Dan Fogelberg.

  • Its only once in awhile that we are in the presence of greatness,for us that are hopfull we can appreciate the spirit and hope that barbaro gave us in his life.why god only takes the great ones, only leave us wondering cold an empty,god bless you barbaro....RIP great one. i will not forget what you gave us,you will always ride on the wisp of a summer breeze for those of us who know.Those of us who knows the gift of greatness that was given to us for only a short time......

  • His ashes will be placed at Churchill Downs, the site of his greatest run. Thank You to the Jacksons. He is were He should be!

  • he was the best horse ever :( he just wanted to live and be loved, and even though he was put through the hard life of racing, he made millions of people happy by winning, and even though hes not here, hes still loved. :'( he was the bbbbeesstt horse eevvverrr i got to meet him once :'(!! its so sad!

  • i cried for three days after he was put down and my mom says everything happens for a reason and i cried when i saw this .

  • loved your video. I should get you some extra hits as I posted to it in my blog. Can't post URLs here in comments, but google search "the aspiring horseplayer" and you'll find me. This brought tears to my eyes. Thank you so much for this wonderful video.

  • It's been 1 year since the horse world lost one of our greatest treasures. Rest in Peace dear Bobby. We will remember you always. Thanks for all the lovely comments over the past year, everyone. Barbaro's legend will live on forever.

  • I can't believe it has been one year today. I remember when I first found out, I cried.

  • I personaly don't like putting animals to sleep or racing. I like horses and stuff you can do with your horse, just not racing... Most horses that race, the first thing that goes wrong with the horse, the owner either sells to brood, put the horse to sleep, or gives it to a rescue. I don't do must of anything in racing, but, he seemed like a good horse and the owners seemed nice. Unlike most owners that do the "big" races, they actully care about what is best for their horses, not their money.

  • r.i.p sry to say this but yuo made a mistake ypu put 2007 not 2008

  • Shouldn't have watched this at work. I was afraid someone would walk in and see me crying. I have never followed horse racing much, but to see such an amazing animal come to such a tragic end........Your legacy will live on Barbaro.

  • Barbaro was an honor to all americans.He was a leader,a champion, and a friend to all f us.R.I.P And may you find the greenest pasture.The most juicy of grass.The best of friends.And the biggest track.

  • Barbaro was a hero.

  • what a beautiful video. I did a school project on him.

  • I would just like to say on behalf of everyone here at Dallas Crown that we truly miss Barbaro. We wish there could be a little piece of Barbaro in each of us.

  • pooor horse, but he is my hero, he is soooo awsome

  • great job on this video - excellent choice of music, too. this reduced me to tears. thank you for creating such a wonderful memorial to a beautiful animal.

  • So cute :)

  • even thought he passed away, he will be in the hearts of all americans forever

  • im crying right now i cant belive that such an amazing horse died

  • i luv this video so much and i miss him so much

  • I hate reading or hearing about horses being put to sleep, bcuz I always cry...Horses play a big part of my life...Barbaro was a very beautiful horse...

  • I luv u Barbaro!! U will always be remembered!! RIP! <33

  • I hear he was an amazing horse!

  • Beautiful video, beautiful song, beautiful horse. Your spirit lives on in the heart of thousands Barbaro, rest in peace you amazing animal.

  • Beautiful video, beautiful song, beautiful horse. I just wish that horses were like dogs in the way that they can live with 3 legs, that way maybe they could have amputated it. You were a great horse Barbaro your spirit lives on in the hearts of thousands. Rest in Peace you amazing animal.

  • me too i would be really happy if barbaro and or any race horse like seattale slew or secretariat. so i agree.

  • he looks so big and dopey

    <3

    RIP

  • omg this made me cry! we miss you!!!

  • Barbaro was a great horses i was so sad when i heard he died!!! Did they breed him?

  • I don't think they did because he was only 3-4 years old when they euthanized him and i think they have to be at least 5 to be able to be put up for stud.? And i think we would have heard about it if they did.

  • i miss you so much boy..

    your always a triple crown winner to me.

    i love you boy.

    rip.

  • who is Barbaro ? never heard of him

  • This was the most amazing racehorse ever. He could have been saved.

    Thank you for making this tribute. We all appreciate it and all miss him very much.
