Customer Rating:      Summary: the nations horse Comment: Barbaro was a courageous horse. He was a champion right from the beginning of his birth, and all the owners knew it. He had that special winning vibe and appearance that people knew would make him a legendary horse, and a Kentucky Derby winner.
I want to say something else. People always talk about Barbaro having the opportunity to be the first triple crown winner in 20-something years, but not being able to accomplish that because of his unfortunate leg injury.
Let me tell you something- more people are aware of the Kentucky Derby, which Barbaro won, and to me, that's more important than some extraordinary triple crown achievement. It was wrong for my local news to put most of their attention on the triple crown aspect of Barbaro in the horse racing event, instead of the fact he won a really good race in the Kentucky Derby. THAT is what we will remember Barbaro for, and we'll also remember him for his amazing ability to run past all the other horses on the track without breaking a sweat. A truly talented animal.
What proved he was unlike other horses was when he realized he was injured, and instead of jumping around and being hard to control (like other horses) he just stood perfectly still and let the doctors examine his injured body. Barbaro was almost human the way he acted.
Get this DVD to see what the big deal was about with this amazing horse.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Barbaro DVD Comment: NBC sports documentary on Barbaro from interviews with his trainer, jockey, owners and vet. Factual and somewhat dry given the emotions generated by the tragedy of this beautiful racehorse.
Customer Rating:      Summary: A DVD to own, if you loved Barbaro Comment: I believe everyone loved Barbaro. We all were so devastated when he got hurt. And we watched his progress as he healed.
