For those of you gnashing your teeth in frustration because the $!@#! Thoroughbred Times webpage won't come up right now, it's currently on the front page of the NYTimes, with a link to article (and a beautiful photo of him winning the Kentucky Derby)- nytimes.com.

RIP Barbaro, he gave everything he had on and off the track. I'll miss you buddy.

As much as we all hate to say it, at least they did what was best for the great champion that he proved to be both on and off the race track. It will be years from now before we ever see another fighter like that, hopefully we wont see it. But this shows how fragile these marvelous animals can. Im sure for the Jacksons it was like thier pet dog. im sure him, Secretariat And Seattle Slew among others will be exchanging some great racing stories in horsey heaven.

This is why I sometimes hate racing. Just hope there wasn't a lot of suffering during the attempted recovery but I know there was.
