Did he do a Kentucky Derby top 10? Someone here mentioned they couldn't wait for his belmont stakes top 10... Checked the site and was unable to find it... would love to see his top ten if he made one... Thanks in advance.

He isn't really trying to do anything special, just giving himself an excuse to drag up another Zenyatta column later in the year when he awards her 1,2,3 in his BC top 10 moments.

Today marks the 5 yr annvy of Barbaro's ill-fated injury. I did a facebook shot out to him along with posting videos of his KDerby and his Fla Derby (stretch call STILL tingles my spine everytime).

The majority of non-racing fans dont understand, nor will they ever!

Proud to say I was there for his Laurel Futurity and the Derby. I don't know what he might have become later in life, but those two races in particular were as impressive as they get.

The announcer was still calling him Bar-bare-o in the Laurel Futurity!!! Thats awesome to have seen him run in person not once but twice!!
