Another unnecessary Barbaro thread
 

Sure it is uneccesary, but it is Florida Derby Day tomorrow, so I thought maybe a few people might like to watch last year's Florida Derby champ in action.
The first two races I hadn't seen in awhile. Man he was a special horse on the grass.
Enjoy:

This kind of belongs in this thread-

I was thinking today that this would be cool-

Matz shouldn't rush Chelokee. . . He should point him towards the Preakness. . . and finish what Barbaro started. . .

there was a nice article about him in Smothsonian magazine this month...I wasn't going to post it but since you brought him up...

....healed over yet? almost, but still raw underneath....well, leave it alone then....

I had the exact same thoughts. Nice article, almost posted about it, decided not to, then saw this thread and was about to post it...but you beat me to it.

matz does not rush horses..im glad he has one to toss in the ring and i think he does well sat..like wins

I dont think your post was unnecessary...I think your posts appeal to many folks. Personally, I'm glad you posted because the thread presented the Smithsonian article...which was very well written and interesting.

I miss him... truely special. thanks.
