This is how I love to remember Barbaro--flying through the air and winning the Kentucky Derby at 6 1/2 lengths. I have the poster of this famous photograph.
Big Brown Wins the Preakness
I am still sad over the loss of Eight Belles at the Kentucky Derby while I delighted in Big Brown's decisive win. After I watched the Florida Derby in early spring, I knew Big Brown would be a contender for the Triple Crown. His looks remind me of Barbaro. Well he did it again folks at the Preakness. I would love to see him win the Triple Crown. He's an awesome horse.

I have edited this caption since I decided to keep it on my blog as an early attempt in Thing 10 to post image generators. It was very frustrating until I got the hang of doing this. I have played around with re-sizing image generators, removing them if too big, moving them around my blog. Alas, I sort of like this one because of liking cats and butterflies. So I will leave it here. I am still learning as I go on.
Barbaro on You Tube
This is one of my favorite tributes to the beloved Barbaro, forever in my heart:
Secretariat's Belmont Race
Many horseracing fans hoped that Barbaro would win the Triple Crown and he was often compared to Secretariat, known fondly as Big Red. Secretariat's Belmont record still stands. If you love horses and have time to watch this, it's worth it. I am lucky enough to have witnessed this Triple Crown victory. I was a race fan even back then:

Hey there!
I saw your comment on my blog and thought I'd check out yours!
I was disappointed to hear that Rags to Riches will not be racing in this weekend's Coaching Club American Oaks. It is a pleasure to watch her run, and I was looking forward to seeing her in action again. I hope the owners have the guts to put her in the Breeders Cup Classic against the boys! I think she'd do well.
Love the Barbaro pic...there is another head shot of his that I think is just gorgeous. Not only was he talented, but so handsome and regal! Did you see the Barbaro movie yet? I could only watch through the Kentucky Derby or I'd spend the rest of the movie crying.
I'll probably try to find that photo of Barbaro and post it on my blog. Check it out when you get the time!
