Savage Beatings Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 Correct me if I am wrong ... but wasn't he just a horse? Yes, but he first captured our hearts as a lovable wiseass in Welcome Back Kotter, then he went on to win 1/3 of the Triple Crown. He was a hero.

cre8tiff Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 Don't be sad, They musta had time to freeze GALLONS of his sperm during his months of treatment. There will be little million-dollar Barbarosas running all over the place this time next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By no means am I grieving, but at the same time I was hoping for him to pull through this injury. The news this morning was definitely disappointing.

The racing community is saddened by this news..People were really hoping this horse pulled through. I dont expect mass suicides because of this but its sad that barbaro didnt pull through.

I dont expect mass suicides because of this but its sad that barbaro didnt pull through. Why? Because they were all going to drive by his pasteur and gaze upon his horse flesh? I can't imagine that anybody, with the exception of his owners, will notice his absence. His career as a racer was over. He would have started his career as a stud ... and I bet they have quite a bit of his frozen sperm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crying over a dead horse with which you had absolutely zero ties and would never have any ties ... is "more advanced"? Can I take it from that statement that you are an active member of that elite society known as PETA?

It was a case of people rallying for a prized athlete to not die..Before you say Barbaro wasnt an athlete I believe Secratariat was voted in the top 50 when ESPN did their 50 greatest of all time..I personally was hoping this horse made it..I wont lose sleep and cry over it but it is sad news he didnt make it..I would feel the same way if it was a local news story about a dog that got hit by a car that people were trying to save..We see horrible stories everyday about depressing stuff its not a bad thing to see a good story about something like this horse pulling through. Unfortunately that didnt happen and its a little bit of a bummer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chargerz Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 (edited) I'm amazed he lived as long as he did. The advances in veterinary medicine allowed his owners to consider the possibility that he might survive such a massive injury. Not too long ago he would have been euthanized on the day of the race.
