Barbaro put down

I'm hoping the Polytrack will help a little. He makes mention of Arlington, and I saw one of those breakdowns last year in person, which was very sad. I wouldn't mind seeing the ages moved up for the races or see whatever changes need to be made to prevent more breakdowns.

 

Local TV anchor here just called him "America's most beloved horse." Isn't that a bit much?

 

I can't think of any other living horse that would take his place ... maybe Funny Cide? Among those that have passed, Secretariat would probably take that title.

 

For today, it's true.

 

No. He is, without a doubt.

 

Most ranchers would take a good horse over 99 percent of the humans on earth.

I won't say they're wrong.

 

Tony Soprano would grab all you Barbaro haters, slam you to the ground and bash your head open.

 

Bill Frist diagnosed Barbaro by satellite and is calling this murder.

 

I thought the mob cut off the heads of horses, no?

 

Tony had a race horse, I believe.
