Barbaro

Today was a morning like so many others. I checked my e-mail and a few other sites, as per my normal routine.
One of the regular stops on this morning cyber-commute is Dead or Alive? (I've long been the type to read the obituary column in search of my own name). This morning as I visited the site, I realized that the famous race horse, Barbaro would have turned 5 years old today. His is a tragic tale. A horse, once so full of promise, that met an untimely demise as a result of an injury he received in pursuit of the Triple Crown.
Gator had once posted on the fate of Barbaro, some time ago, in his long-too-dormant blog.
