RIP Barbaro 2003-2007
I haven't blogged in forever, but I had to come out of semi-retirement to comment on the euthanization of last year's Kentucky Derby winner, Barbaro. I'm guessing either you've never heard of Barbaro or you're well aware of all the attention he's received since he broke his leg at some race last year. Anyway, if you want to check out something weird and funny, check out the Barbaro message board where you can see a bunch of wackos pouring their hearts out over a dead horse. Since I'm clearly incapable of showing the proper respect due such a formerly living legend, I'll leave you with the words of a true fan:
- Tears run down my face as I type this. Barbaro was a true hero in my eyes. He fought so hard to live and my heart is broken that he could not complete that journey. God bless him and may he run heaven's fields as he ran them on this earth.
