Racing To New Horizons

Yes, you may have heard the more than heroic racehorse, Barbaro, was euthanized today after many months of miraculous successes in his mighty recovery.  Watching him win the Derby last May was reminiscent of Secretariat’s astounding performance(s).  Barbaro was equal to dirt tracks (though began his career on turf) and was undefeated until that fateful, horrifying Preakness Race two weeks after the Derby.  Thank you … those who said little prayers for him.  Yes, I am a fan(atic?) of the races. Yes, I geeked out and checked his progress each week since May as the surgeon posted the updates.  Yes, I had just checked with concern but optimism two days ago reading of his latest surgery over the weekend (one of many he sailed right through).  He was doing so well in recent weeks.  I expect if he weren’t a Bay, he’d be the white horse of Revelation!  That’s just how big a heart and spirit he had.  Godspeed Barbaro.  Frolic forever in green pastures.  Give Sunday Silence & Ruffian a nudge and a ney for me!
