Well thats kind of silly. He won by one of the biggest margin of victories ever beating some good horses including wonder horse Showing Up. If you guys would rather see a beautiful animal wobble around on 3 legs than see him pulling away from Blue Cat, then you must be a huge hit at kid's parties.
I'm done with this. Wish I never said anything about it.

Don't misunderstand. I think it's silly to that all anyone talks about is the injury/recovery. I think it would be much better to talk about his nice wins. But the reality is that more people have been drawn to Barbaro because of this stuff than because of his wins. His injury, recovery, and now death have gotten way more coverage than his wins did. It's unfortunate that this stuff interests more people than the good things he did but that's the way it is.
