From 1987 to 2011, the average winning Kentucky Derby Beyer was 109. Until 2009, it was really a given that the winner had to get into that range. No more. Once is an aberration. Four times is a pattern. Mine That Bird got a 105 when he won in 2009 by 6 3/4 lengths. Which means the rest of them ran ...Read More

  • larooski · Undefeated and won the Derby by 6 1/2. Should be rated higher I think. I remember watching him train at Churchill the week of the Derby. I told my dad that if it was a bodybuilding competition Barbaro wins easy. He was so much more muscular than all the others. He really stood out. · 25 days ago ·

Happy birthday Barbaro. I still think about and miss you every day. Still think about what could have been and what should have been.

  • larooski · Watch Barbaro's Derby. had that race been 1 and 1/2 miles who passes him? That year's Belmont sucked anyway. The bigger question is would he have beaten Bernardini in the Preakness. It would have been a great race. Barbaro had a ton of stamina. Again you throw out falsehoods hoping nobody will know better. · 25 days ago ·

“Mangled Horses, Maimed Jockeys,” a 6,400-word article splashed across the front-page of last Sunday’s New York Times, might have been a fair and useful piece of investigative journalism had it stuck to its scope: Rates of equine injuries and fatalities at some tracks, particularly Quarter Horse ven...Read More
  • Buckpasser · I don't know if anyone is aware but another horse broke down in New York yesterday and instead of euthanizing the horse, they put a splint on the leg and took him back in the van only to euthanize him later. The racing writer for the NYPost theorized that they did this because they did not want to do it in full view of the grandstand and because the horse had been claimed and the claim is no good if the horse dies on the track. So I guess Steve Crist is right that the NYTimes skewered the analysis by showing Ruidoso Downs in New Mexico. After all, the really killing field is at the great Safety accredited track run by the NYRA called Aqueduct. · 39 days ago ·

The Florida Derby may have had a couple of uncharacteristically dull years, but in 2012 it looks to get back up on its feet, delivering one of, if not the best Kentucky Derby Preps this season. Read More

  • DeadHeat · Capper the only problem I have with his race is that it was run in the slop. He did run a winning race, but with his record over a dry track, I can't help but be skeptical. If that race had been over a dry track he would be right there with Reveron for me. · 56 days ago ·

Over the past few years one of the biggest angles a horseplayer uses in order to figure what horse could become a potential Derby horse, or even a top three-year-old, is to discount any obvious two year old stars. Is this angle legit or is it a myth? Read More

Here is a video I made of Barbaro. R.I.P http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4SpdwHt_Emk
It's been five years since Barbaro died. I miss you Barbaro!
The memory is still vivid in our minds from May 20, 2006, when Barbaro’s right hind leg flared out awkwardly as Edgar Prado dismounted to steady the ailing horse with a look of panic. The debate began promptly at that moment. Read More

  • cugel the clever · @icy: I'm curious about your opinion of Animal Kingdom winning the Eclipse. Based on your opinion that classic winners Barbaro, Kaui King, etc didn't show their true potential due to career-ending injuries and "should not be rated at all as they proved nothing", how could AK be the 3yo champ by proving nothing? · 125 days ago ·

  • 12thCrown · Barbaro - still stirring emotion, I love it! That was my original intent for the article, not to attempt to "rate" him. I actually pointed out that Bernardini was the deserving 3YO Eclipse champion that year, but Barbaro remains a LEGEND.. · 125 days ago ·

If it wasn't for his injury Barbaro would have been a top ten all time champion. He was as good as it gets. I'm afraid he will be the last great horse we will see.
