R.I.P. Barbaro

Superstar race horse, Kentucky Derby winner Barbaro has died. He was euthanized today after his painful breakdown at last year’s Preakness. 4-year-old Barbaro went through 8-months of procedures and suffering to overcome his injuries.

His owner said, “It was the right decision, it was the right thing to do. We said all along if there was a situation where it would become more difficult for him then it would be time.”

May Barbaro rest in peace! He is eating delicious sugar cubes and carrots in a field in the sky!
