Barbaro, 2003-2007

I've been late to comment on the death of Barbaro last week because I couldn't think of anything original to say. I'm sure I'm not the first to say that Barbaro's owners, Roy and Gretchen Jackson, are to be commended, not only for sparing no expense to save him, but also for making the decision to spare Barbaro the pain that would have resulted from further attempts to save him. My condolences to Barbaro's connections.

The NTRA has established a Barbaro Memorial Fund, the proceeds of which will go to laminitis research.

The Daily Racing Form has links to videos of Barbaro's races.
