I was watching him from my country, and became a big fan.

Every year i visit the Florida Derby, and 2006 was special. I remember i told my girlfriend 'can you smell that air, we are in the same air as Barbaro'. She laughed and told me i was nuts. That day Barbaro won ofcourse, and he gave me the chills...

My adamsapple got squeezed in my throat when i heard the news.

There was something about that horsey...

Poor Barbaro. He was great, a very gifted horse with a lot of guts.

His Derby was the first time I`d ever seen the KY Derby. I bet he`s proud of his little brothers. Nicanor coming back from a bone bruise and possibly making his 4 year old debut in a few months. Lentenor starting to run big races and possibly making it to the Derby. A beautiful yearling brother and La Ville Rouge is going to be bred back to Dynaformer this year.

RIP Barbaro.

Long live Barbaro. <3333

Very poignant words in the last 30 seconds, "April 20, 2007...Roy and Gretchen Jackson welcome the birth of a healthy colt, He is the Brother of Barbaro, The 136th Kentucky Derby is May 1, 2010..."

Bravo Lentenor for your amazing victory yesterday, Your Big Brother's are very proud!
