Barbaro is Euthanized

Run free at the Bridge, baby. You fought long and hard. No more pain.

Now you can rest easy and pain free Barbaro.

I just read this too. I'm in shock. Poor guy. Even though he lost his battle he is still an amazing inspiration.

RIP Barbaro

I saw the notice this morning too. So sad. He fought as long as
he could & so did the Vets.

This magnificent horse was an inspiration to us all. This has saddened me more than I can say.

Yes, Barbaro - RUN - RUN - without any more pain or broken bones.

I'm sure there isn't a dry eye in the PT house today. What a terrible thing to hear. I know they did all they could do for him. My thoughts and prayers are with all those people that fought so long and hard for him

Rest in Peace sweet boy and run hard at the bridge We're going to miss you sweetheart.

Thank you for your inspiration when I thought my life was over.

GodSpeed Brave Barbaro-

and you lived like we should too....

I still feel a profound sadness today, as I hug my Barbaro beenie, wear my Barbaro shirt, and look at his picture on my desktop. He's been a part of my life for a long time, since his debut race and I first saw him. Some people say to me, what is wrong with you, he's just a horse you never even met. He was not just a horse to me. I have followed racing since I can first remember. I was too young and "missed" the greats of the 70s. Barbaro was my Secretariat. His fight these last months has given me inspiration through some of the hardest times I have gone through. I had unwavering faith that he would be okay. For him to suddenly go downhill and be in a position where they finally had to help him cross was a real blow. A lot of people don't and won't understand, but for some of us, his passing has left us feeling hollow and hurt. His owners loved him, his vet loved him, they all cried yesterday during the press conference. For anyone who ever judges that they did what they did to try to save him for money, you are wrong.

Run free sweet Barbaro, you've earned it. Thank you for the good times, and the bad, you didn't owe us anything, but you gave it all.

Poor Barbaro...no more pain. Now you can be free to run all you want or just to graze and enjoy the fresh pasture at the bridge. Your legacy will live on.

So Sad...

They all tried so hard for Barbaro... All that support, all those prayers, all those surgeries. No more, sweet boy.

Go run and play at the RB, sweet Barbaro. No pain, no surgeries.

RIP, Barbaro.

Vela, I wasn't and I'm still not a big fan of horse racing as a sport, but I am a big fan of animals and seeing them pull through. I looked for Barbaro updates often. In some ways I feel like Barbaro was like my Jimmy. The odds were against them. Jimmy pulled through and I was so hopeful for Barbaro. I too feel very sad today. Still, he did so much for many people. I feel good about that part.
