Barbaro to be buried at Churchill Downs

I'm not a big fan of Thoroughbred racing, but Barbaro touched my heart with his courage to attempt to survive an injury that 99.99% of the time previously would've resulted in the horse being euthanized on the racetrack.

Today's the first anniversary of his death. His ashes are to be memorialized outside Churchill Downs racetrack in Kentucky.

I can't wait to see what the statue and memorial will look like.

This whole thing was just very sad.

Churchill Downs is the most fitting resting place since Barbaro won the Derby.
