rip barbaro

I guess we all knew it was only a matter of time that the great Barbaro's life
would come to a dramatic end. Horse racing is a wonderful game, when we watch the derby, the preakness
and the belmont we see the glory side of the game. The pretty people the best jocks and the tracks all dolled up looking their bet.
There is an underside to the game, some night turn on TVG if you have it. Watch a race from Sam Houston, turfway park
or any other track in america, you will see the 3500.00 claimers that are not the best horses with not the best jocks
all being raced, yes these horses are cared for but when they are injured on the track most never make it off alive, they are
put down, out of their pain and misery. It's so sad when it happens not to just the famous horses but to any horse at any track.
I love the game I love the thrill of the gamble I enjoy watching good horses and bad horses good jocks and good drivers
I appreciate any horse, they do not know whether or not they are good they just know how to run and they run as hard as they can and hopefully with no misstep.
