On Derby Day this year at Churchill Downs, they played NBC's broadcast of Barabro's Derby win on the big screens. The whole crowd started cheering as Barabro opened up on the field. It was probably my favorite moment from the entire week.

I just watched it on free HBO On Demand.
HBO did a nice job. Good interviews with the "Barbaro Rescue Crew," Nack, Beyer, the Jacksons etc.
As for the 2006 Preakness....I hadn't watched that race in over a year. I never want to watch it again.

I thought it was pretty good....though the replay of Ruffian's breakdown was just unnecessary sensationalism IMO.

i agree scav i thought it was very well done also! i remember after the preakness last year i didnt watch a single race for a couple of weeks till we had 1 of our own in. i love horseracing as much as any1 can but i love the animals even more, watching last night brought tears 2 my eyes! whata truly awesome animal who gave us his all on and off the track
