Barbaro, winner of the 132nd Kentucky Derby, is gone. After the impressive victory in the Run for the Roses many horseplayers dreamed of a triple crown champion, only to have their hearts broken when Barbaro suffered an injury in the Preekness Stakes. His story did not end there. The story of Barbaro’s surgery and recovery was one of hope, it captured the attention of many who have never been to a race track. Many people checked on Barbaro’s progress via the web, and sent e-mails to Barbaro wishing him the best. For a while all the news was good, but this month was very difficult and has ended in the death of this fine horse who captured people’s imagination beyond the race track.
