Default Barbaro's Brother
There's an article on MSN with a picture of Barbaro's yearling full brother. Just thought I'd share.

He's got some awfully big shoes to fill, but he looks a lot like him!

I thought so too. Even the face markings are close!

It'll be interesting to see how he develops and what he does on the track. But poor horse, he'll probably always be compared to Barbaro!

Most likely he will be. I'd like to think his chances of being a nice colt are pretty good. La Ville Rouge has thrown some nice colts thus yet, so I guess we'll see.

And they must really like this combo, because they've got this yearling, she's due to foal another Dynaformer I believe in March and they've decided to send her back again this spring. We're going to end up with a small herd!

I read at the end of the article about Smarty Jones and Afleet Alex. Where are they both now? They are both still alive correct?? I may just be confused, sorry if this sounds stupid.

holy crap, bit of white over the same nostril....

he'll get as much press as the green monkey when he steps on the track for the first time.

wonder what they name him? the one due any day should be 'third time's a charm'.


call this guy 'atlas'--bound to carry a lot of weight on his shoulders. lot of people are going to be hoping this guy does well.

I'd call him Formerville. Fits the 3 syllable rule for the derby. LOL

they said on Larry king the other night that the brothers would probably be named after some of the other foxhounds in the painting where Barbaro's name came from...smart move on their part not saying what those names are...guarantee if they had, someone would have reserved them with the JC for themselves
