Barbaro: Multimedia

Update 18: Rather than attempt to continue to update this page with new content, I am pointing you to two places: Tim Woolley Racing Discussion Boards now has a folder where all new content is posted (poems, videos etc.) Melissa Harden is collecting all the content also at: For the love of Barbaro. Melissa will collect the content from the discussion boards, you can also e-mail her at javaellybob@charter.net Thank you for continuing to create such wonderful work.

Update 17: Another video from Melissa Harden: Barbaro celebrating grazing in the grass.

Update 16: Two more videos: My Tribute to Barbaro and Barbaro, we believe. Great works.

Update 15: Another video: Barbaro Splish Splash. Melissa H. has created this page for Barbaro, which includes poems published here: For The Love Of Barbaro.

Update 14: Another video: Barbaro, Never gonna give in, thanks Mary Langkamp. It seems you can hear Bobby speaking those words! From Mary's e-mail:

music is from the movie "Spirit"

Song is You Can't Take Me sung by Bryan Adams

I think the song is true to Barbaro cause he never gives in

Update 13: Another video: Alive and Kicking!, thanks Pam Coblyn. An excerpt of Pam's e-mail to me:

Mainly, what I REALLY wanted to accomplish was to pay homage to Barbaro's strength, power, will and acceptance of love from those around him. I believe he brought out the best of everyone and I want to pay tribute to them, too, for recognizing that Barbaro has a rare and indomitable spirit.

My video, "Barbaro--Alive & Kicking" features music by Simple Minds

Update 12: Another video on DailyMotion: Magnificent Barbaro. Author:
This video is nothing but Barbaro's Proudest Moments: Training, Winning Every Race (didn't have Maiden Race pictures or I would have include it), and just great pictures of Proud Barbaro. The background music is the Main Title from "Spirit: Stallion of the Cimmaron."
Note: Tropical Park Derby is also absent.

Update 11: Barbara Livingston, while an awesome professional photog is also a fan. She has generously made her Barbaro pictures available for non commercial use. Anna has created a lovely pastel of Barbaro.

Update 10: A couple of 'fan' developed web-pages: Prayers at Mother Cabrini
Shrine for Barbaro
(thanks Dee) and Light a Candle for Barbaro (thanks Melissa)

Update 9: We just received the following e-mail from Jessica Franks:

Hello, I have been reading the updates on your page faithfully and visited the multimedia page today to watch the videos. I made a couple myself awhile back and thought I'd send you the links if you thought them worthy to put up. I'm an amateur at making "movies" but as so many, Barbaro has touched me very deeply. The first I made to some
music from the Phar Lap movie soundtrack (Phar Lap was Bobby too!), and the second I later felt inspired to make after I heard a song I hadn't heard in years, It's So Hard to Say Goodbye (Boyz II Men). There are so many wonderful videos already up. I thank you for taking the time to read my e-mail and perhaps enjoy the videos.

Thanks Jessica!

Update 8: Karen has provided another lovely tribute to Barbaro Karen explains:

The song is He Ain't Heavy, He's my Brother performed by Brian Lane Green. I'm so glad you liked it. I know it's a little sad and a little like "we don't know" what is going to happen, and very much, "we miss everything that might have been", but that is how it is. It also, to me, shows why I think we all respond as we do. You have to have a big support group to get through stuff like this no matter the outcome. It's a bit of a macrocosm of what we wish or hope were there for us in our own lives.

Update 7: A video from Melissa Harden: Barbaro's Tragedy and Triumph (2m 58s) Thanks Melissa!

Update 6: Two videos from Paula at YouTube.com: Barbaro, Great Hero (4 minutes) and Barbaro (3 minutes). Thanks Paula!

Update 5: Beautiful Barbaro, by Jayne Lornie. Jayne used to work at Fair Hill, now works at Delaware Park and is a close friend. The piece closes with the text:
Get Well Barbaro; You Are So Beautiful.
Music: Your Are So Beautiful: Kenny Rogers

Update 4: I was browsing youtube.com and did a Barbaro search. Believe in Barbaro seems to be the most popular. It includes all his races, very good!

Update 3: As I was browsing flickr I found these cool photos of Barbaro in the Kentucky Derby. Shannon has also posted a second 'movie' to Daily Motion: Barbaro 2 (Song : When you believe : Prince of Egypt Soundtrack, Whitney Houston and Mariah Carey.).

Update 2: Another great video from Dailymotion: BARBARO'S JOURNEY (4m 1s, by Shannon). Nice poignant images of Edgar Prado with Peter Brette, among other cool stuff of course.

Update 1: Adding two Barbaro videos from Dailymotion (thanks Lisa). They are BARBARO TRIBUTE - by Ghost Moth (2m 26 secs) and BARBARO (by Anneetben 8m 29 secs). A quick caution, the latter does include 'live' footage of the Preakness.

Also, a comment from Kim Brette appears below, which includes:

Special thanks to Debra for the wonderful video, so glad to see he's touched everyones hearts, as he has ours from the beginning. Peter went to see him today and he was doing well, had a sparkle in his eye and is continuing to do better than we could ever hope for.

We received the following, unsolicited, 'movie' from Debra Lopez, in Wisconsin: Our Prayer For Barbaro.

It is 'titled': "To Barbaro from your Fans in Wisconsin" and closes with the text: "If you have never loved an animal, your soul remains unawakened." It is a 2.5M file. Thanks Debra!

If we receive more of this type of content, we will post to this page (I know a friend of mine is preparing a 'flash' animation).

Comments

Let me be the first to say this is absolutely beautiful...what a wonderful idea Debra! Thank you so much. No dry eyes here for sure...

Thank you so much for sharing Our Prayer For Barbaro, it's beautiful.

Posted by: Debi Radomski at June 8, 2006 12:55 PM

Oh, that movie from Debra Lopez is incredibly touching, profound and memorable. The text at the end says it all, it truly does. Thank you Debra, for this beautiful blessing.

And thank you, Tim, for the regular updates on Barbaro. The hospital hasn't posted an update since June 5, one tends to become worried with no news. Your site has become a lifeline for our family as we continue our constant prayers. It is evident you dearly love this horse.

Posted by: Judy at June 8, 2006 12:55 PM

thank you so much for this site; I come here first thing every morning and feel such relief when i read he had a good night. It is amazing what this horse has come to mean to America.

Posted by: Marilyn at June 8, 2006 1:04 PM

OMG, that was so beautiful. I had to watch it twice, since the first time I had so many tears I couldn't see it.I was wondering who sings that song, it's so touching and says everything we are feeling. Thank you for sharing this and for everyone who continues to keep us updated. I come here so much I feel like I should be contributing something to keep it going. God Bless Barbaro and everyone taking care of him.

Posted by: Debbie Jurasus at June 8, 2006 1:09 PM

Tears are streaming down my face. What a beautiful tribute to a STUNNING, WORLD CLASS CHAMPION. My thoughts are with all of you associated with Barbaro.
Tim, thank you for this marvelous site. I check it several times a day.
BARBARO, YOU ARE THE TRUE WINNER.

Posted by: Rosmarie Shaughnessy at June 8, 2006 1:38 PM

Wow, absolutely stunning.
This was a song sung at my mother's funeral last year, so it has extra special meaning for me.
Thanks so much for sharing this with us. We LOVE you Barbaro!

Posted by: Lisa Morin at June 8, 2006 1:40 PM

Thank you for that beautiful tribute to our CHAMPION! So touching, can't keep from crying.
All my time the last 2 1/2 weeks has been keeping up with our precious Barbaro. Thank you for this site, it's awesome. I am an equine artist, and have just finished a model tribute to Barbaro. He will be auctioned on Ebay soon, part of the proceeds will go to the "Barbaro Fund". You can see him here: http://www.geocities.com/ansatacustoms/whatsnew.html

Posted by: Faye at June 8, 2006 1:49 PM

WOW! Absolutely stunning and breathtaking. I also have tears streaming. Thank you, Debra, for creating and sharing this beautiful tribute.

Thank you again to all of Barbaro's connections for sharing their thoughts and updates.

Godspeed Barbaro in your recovery!

What a great idea for the Ebay auction - may the bidding soar skyhigh.. Your models are absolutely gorgeous.

Posted by: Lynnette at June 8, 2006 2:19 PM

Debra .. There are not enough words to express my thanks to you and your friends in Wisconsin .. I watched and listened to your presentation many times and cried all the way through .. it is a wondrous tribute to Barbaro and his connections. Thank you Tim for creating this page (and your continuous, indepth updates) .. without you, we would not have such wonderful opportunities .. to learn, to share, to love.
God Bless Barbaro !!

Posted by: Dee from Denver at June 8, 2006 3:18 PM

Thank you so much for sharing - this montage is really beautiful - I did get teary eyed and can't wait to see Barbaro out in the "open" again. These updates on Tim Wooley's site are just the BEST!!!!! Somehow Univ. of PA hasn't posted any lately and we all want to know that he's still doing great. The national support for Barbaro is truly inprecedented - the horsing community and especially everyone near & dear to Barbaro should be extremely proud. Maybe some Barbaro merchandise (t-shirts, hats, etc.) could be printed with some proceeds going to the Barbaro Fund @ Univ. of PA - just a thought. Many thanks, again!!!

Posted by: Mercy at June 8, 2006 3:55 PM

The Prayer For Barbaro is so beautiful. Thank you so much for putting it on your site.

We all love him, and wish him all the best

Posted by: Gloria Davis at June 8, 2006 4:04 PM

A very moving tribute, Debra. I'm so familiar with the song, but the female singing does not sound familiar. I know Celine Dion sang this in duet with Andrea Bocelli.

Is it Debra Lopez singing with him?

At any rate, no dry eye here. It was a GOOD cry.

Thank you so much and your friends in Wisconsin.

And, thank you, Tim, for keeping this web-site updated.

Posted by: Doreen at June 8, 2006 4:06 PM

Ok, now I'm crying. That was beautiful.. thank you for sharing.

Posted by: becky at June 8, 2006 4:50 PM

Thank you from all Barbaro supporters for this video!! It's wonderful and says so much of what we have all been thinking!

Posted by: Andrea Simmers at June 8, 2006 4:53 PM

Debra, you have truly captured the aura of love that surrounds Barbaro.
Thank you for the piece.
Thank you also to Tim and his daily updates which many of us would have gone mad without.

Posted by: Lori at June 8, 2006 7:38 PM

If anyone is interested, the song is from Andrea Bocelli's album "Sogno" and is sung with Celine Deon, though the version used here may be sung by someone else.
Beautiful media presentation. Thanks for sharing. I'm really looking forward to the TV coverage on Saturday.

Thank you to Tim Woolley Racing for keeping us updated. As we get closer to "normal" days of recovery, the news coverage is dropping off, and it gets harder and harder to Google information to satisfy how Bobby is doing. Please continue to update us!

In all that's wrong with the world, it never fails to be refreshing when the human spirit is poured out unexplainedly in mercy and compassion, no matter whether the object of its love be equine or mankind.

With love from Texas to Barbaro and his family--
Blessings for peace and healing!

Posted by: Jody at June 8, 2006 8:48 PM

Debra, you have wrapped all of our emotions into this photo collage of Barbaro with an absolutley beautiful song,of course I watched it twice and cried both times. Barbaro has captivated something deeper than compassion for animals,we all feel it and I know he feels the love everyone one has been sending him! Barbaro has a spirit that has moved many people to do all they can do !
Thanks to everyone who make this update site possible-we all want to know what is up with Barbaro ! Keep on keepin' on ! God Bless!

Posted by: Julia B at June 8, 2006 10:14 PM

Thank's Tim,For keeping all of us imformed about Mr.Barbaro. We were getting worried about Mr.B. I will let the other rail bird's know he is O.K.! Thanks again. M.P.C.

Posted by: Rail Bird at June 8, 2006 11:13 PM

Dear everyone who loves Bobby,

Special thanks to Debra for the wonderful video, so glad to see he's touched everyones hearts, as he has ours from the beginning. Peter went to see him today and he was doing well, had a sparkle in his eye and is continuing to do better than we could ever hope for.

If prayers were medicine he'd be at the Belmont on Saturday, instead he will be wishing his friends the best of luck and a safe trip...

Thanks so much for all your good wishes we really appreciate them,

Peter, kim, Nicholas & Bobby

Posted by: Kim Brette at June 9, 2006 1:35 AM

I have just watched "Our Prayer for Barbaro" and I echo the sentiments and comments posted here. Thank you so much, Debra for your beautiful tribute. It's absolutely wonderful. It's so comforting to know how many of us are joined together across the miles with one common goal - to see our dear Barbaro through this journey and see him well one day. To illustrate how much he is on my mind, I am even dreaming about him. I am home ill from work today, so I took a nap this afternoon. I dreamt I was visiting Barbaro and he nuzzled me, much like my dear departed "Honey" used to do. I like to think of her as an angel on 4 hooves looking down from Heaven watching over Barbaro. Keep healing, Sweet Boy!

Posted by: Sue at June 9, 2006 3:24 AM

Thank you for your wonderful updates on Barbaro. My husband and I are moving next Monday, but I always sneak a few minutes at the computer reading your wonderful updates, daily. I am not sure what I'll do the week or two my computer will be disconnected during the move. The wonderful updates have been SO reassuring! And that lovely video tribute from Debra in Wisconsin is just magical. Thank you so much to all of you. (I was especially pleased when you included a link to my local newspaper, The San Jose (CA) Mercury News.)

Posted by: betty Cordoza at June 9, 2006 3:57 AM

The video of "Our Prayer for Barbaro" is beautiful.
Barbaro is in my thoughts constantly. I surfing, I found several other videos that are heartwrenching. They are "Barbaro" by Anneetben at dailymotion.com/relevance/search/barbaro/video/215810 and "Barbaro Tribute" by Ghost Moth at dailymotion.com/visited/GhostMoth/video/189955.
Barbaro I love you, you will always be in my heart..

Posted by: Lisa at June 9, 2006 4:27 AM

Myself, having dial-up, could not access this video. I begged my little nephew to allow me to come to his house to use his fast dsl, and was, OF COURSE, SOBBING the entire time! The poor child thought I'd lost my mind! Ms. Lopez, you have made a very profound and immensely touching tribute to a very deserving Champ. Let us all continue to pray together for Bobby and his connections to continue in their onward fight. He is overcoming many hurdles one day at a time, but ther are SO many more obstacles still in his path. God bless everyone in his surroundings, and God bless all of you for feeling as you do. DJ Crow Montgomery, Al Montgomery, Al

Posted by: Dora J Crow at June 9, 2006 5:05 AM

My Mac couldn't open the tribute file. Can anyone give me a clue how I can seeit?

Posted by: Robyn at June 9, 2006 5:47 AM

Just finished watching "Our Prayer for Barbaro"
for the 3rd time, and I still cried. What a touching video tribute. Thank you Debra! I consider myself so very lucky to have been at this years Derby and watched a "True Champion"
Our Barbaro!! Once a Derby winner, forever a
CHAMPION. I watched the videos on daily motion,
I especially liked the video "Barbaro Tribute"
by Ghost Moth!! Thanks to Tim and all of Barbaro's connections for keeping us updated.
Race to the Finish Barbaro!!!!!

Posted by: Doe George at June 9, 2006 5:53 AM

This is one of the most beautiful videos ( Prayer) that I have seen so far.It really speaks to what is important in this world, and it touches me deeply how loved Barbaro is. I pray that he continues healing and goes on to sire many wonderful foals.

BARBARDO JUST REMEMBER YOU HAVE NOT RUN YOUR LAST RACE, WHEN YOU GET WELL YOU BARBARDO WILL HAVE A LOT OF PEOPLE LIKE ME VERRY PROUD OF YOU AND THAT RACE TO HEALTH IS THE BEST RACE AND YES YOU WILL WIN AGAIN J G CLARK CLAYTON GA OCALA FL

Posted by: J G CLARK at June 9, 2006 2:25 PM

Just watched the Barbaro piece by Aneetben. That is a brilliant piece of work and should win an award for something. The kleenex box has been used. An incredible story told my photographs and music. Does anyone know the artist that sings the last song? Not only a great tribute to Barbaro, but to all who have surrounded this horse with love, care and compassion. His journey continues and his legacy etched in history. I continue to hope for his recovery and that he will live on as a symbol of what greatness can come from such an awful event. Again, thanks Tim for keeping your website updated.

Posted by: Janet at June 9, 2006 3:03 PM

Thank you so much for sharing "Our Prayer For Barbaro" It really says it all for all of us who are praying for Barbaro. Thanks Debra, you really touched our hearts. Is this available for download?

Posted by: Lori at June 9, 2006 3:51 PM

WOW!! I am on Barbaro overload. I just watched all the Daily Motion videos on Barbaro and they are all great. Thank you to the talented people that shared their feelings and inspirations of Barbaro. Ghost Moth also has great video teasers on the races too.

Mr. Woolley - Thank you again for taking your time to keep everyone updated on Barbaro.

Bobby, our new American Hero - Continuing to send good wishes and hopes for your wonderful life ahead.

Posted by: Donna at June 10, 2006 12:02 AM

Janet in response to your question about the artist that sings the last song, I think the artist might be Jeff Buckley and the song is Hallelujah.
Every video clip sent was so special. I had lots of tears for each viewing. But must agree with you, the Barbaro piece by Aneetben is just excellent, certainly worthy of some award. Hope the Jackson’s have taken a moment and are viewing each of these treasured gifts.

Posted by: Judy W. at June 10, 2006 12:18 AM

Tim,
Thank you so much for keeping us in touch with Barbaro. I own a race horse and know the feeling of holding my breath every time she runs.
To Debra, Debra, you video Our Prayer For Barbaro is phenomenal. You have captured all our hearts. And Yes, to Tim who has been keeping us informed on Barbaro, Our Prayer For Barbaro - I hope to see it on TV. If Barbaro only knew how much he is loved...

Posted by: Larry at June 10, 2006 1:05 AM

Thank you all for watching the movie I put together titled "OUR PRAYER FOR BARBARO". I'm very happy that I can express what I feel and know that others feel alike. Thank you Tim, Alex, Kim Brette and family for this site and for reading the feelings from all of us who have posted our hearts for all to see. We really are experiencing history.
By the way - for all of you who have asked, the song heard on the movie "Our Prayer For Barbaro" is sung by Josh Groben and Angie Stone.
Take Care all of you and God Bless,
Debra

Posted by: Debra at June 10, 2006 2:10 AM

Posted by: Debbie Ray at June 11, 2006 12:40 AM

I just checked out the pictures of Barbaro in the Derby on flickr- these are great -would like to purchase a few!
I watched the Belmont previews- Barbaro is looking good-sure did miss him on the track, but am even happier of his progress!
I am sending a drawing I did of Barbaro to Sally's attention to pass out there at Fair Hill.
I love all of the creativness and display of talent these folks have put together- I have a hard time watching the dailymotion videos though ,they move real slow on my laptop-any suggestions?
Blessing to all ,will check in tomorrow !

Posted by: Julia B at June 11, 2006 3:06 AM

Those videos are absolutely beautiful. Thank you so much for making these. I loved the Prayer one, but for some reason now it's not working. Thanks to Michael Matz, Peter Brette, The Jacksons, Edgar Prado, and the vets for loving this horse and taking care of him. I pray for all of you guys. Thank you very much.

Posted by: Lynda at June 12, 2006 4:37 PM

Tim, this is a wonderful site for Barbaro fans!You have current updates and so many links to photos and stories.Thanks so much for the fresh updates ! All of you are really on top of things there and we really appreciate it ! Blessings to all ! Julia B

Posted by: Julia B at June 12, 2006 7:24 PM

A lot of English guys are accused of being unemotional.Well after watching Jayne's video,believe me,those accusations are false!

Posted by: Tim at June 13, 2006 7:55 PM

That's Kenny Rogers singing in the Beautiful Barbaro video - not Roger Whittaker. Nonetheless, it's wonderful. Thanks to all you folks for putting these wonderful remembrances together.

Posted by: Doreen at June 13, 2006 8:12 PM

AWESOME NEWS!!!
I just read the updates on Barbaro! Our family is going to celebrate tonight! Thanks be to God.
I also just viewed all your media from Barbaro's fans - Jane, Beautiful Barbaro is Excellent and Debra, Our Prayer for Barbaro brings me to tears.
Thank you all for sharing those heart feeling videos.

Posted by: Lori at June 13, 2006 9:28 PM

Oops - Doreen - you are quite correct. You are So Beautiful sung by Kenny Rogers. Alex is going to post the correction.

Thank you.....

Posted by: Jayne Lornie at June 13, 2006 9:41 PM

Tim,
Thanks for the great updates on Barbaro. We're going to keep praying harder than ever that everything keeps going well for him.
We keep watching the movie "our prayer for Barbaro" and it brings tears to our eyes. Is there a chance you will be posting these videos for download?
Be safe on your trip this weekend.

Posted by: Larry at June 14, 2006 10:02 PM

ok well i made 2 viedos on barbaro. I hope that you like them and please comment on them tahhnks. Here is the first link,http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=21-npKFPmJc and then the second one http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UfhSp6IzFcA Thanks enjoy!

Posted by: Paula at June 15, 2006 1:46 AM

Good job to everyone that has put our sentiments of Barbaro into production. I would love to see many of these photos taken by Barbara Livingston in a book as well as some great ones on seabiscut schmicuts site.I was unable to make comments for these photos on the websites, but wanted each of you to know how wonderful these are !
Blessings to all ! Go Barbaro !

Posted by: Julia B at June 15, 2006 6:14 AM

ps- Barbara- my favorite photo in the Barbaro album is Barbaro eyeing the prize at Churchill during Derby week !

Posted by: Julia B at June 15, 2006 6:19 AM

Janet asked who sang the song Hallelujah in the second half of the Anneetben tribute "Barbaro". Judy W. turned us on to Jeff Buckley. I tryed to sample Jeff Buckley's versions and then Leonard Cohen's (who wrote it). They did not match the piece above. It turns out it is Rufus Wainwright and it is the same version that he did for the movie Shrek.
I think it is brilliant and appropriate the way the song kicks in just when Peter is approaching Barbaro at the Preakness. All of the tributes are wonderful. Thanks to all.

Posted by: Mike at June 15, 2006 1:52 PM

I sent the link to this video yesterday to the Wooley@aol.com email. I didn't realized that there was something at the bottom of the Fan Media page.

This is a video entitled "Barbaro Tragedy and Triumph" accompanied by Elvis Presley's "You'll Never Walk Alone."

I am so glad you are providing these updates and will continue until we know Barbaro is healed. He is magnificent. Like Edgar Prado said, "If tears could heal", Barbaro would have run in the Belmont last Saturday. I love Barbaro very much.

Posted by: Melissa Harden at June 15, 2006 6:53 PM

I was reading through some of the messages from the Univ. of Penn. message board - One of Barbaro's fans Barbara D'Amico writes to Barbaro....
"May you run, if not to win,for the love of life, but to catch the wind"

It simply says what we are all hoping and praying for concerning Barbaro's future.
Live well Barbaro !

Posted by: Julia B at June 16, 2006 2:53 AM

I would like to start by saying thank you for all the updates. I know that you are busy and it must be hard to keep up.
I have just watched the videos on YouTube.com the one that really made sad is the one that is simply titled Barbaro and it shows all of his races. I, like most people I'm sure, first saw him run in the Kentucky Derby. I knew then that he was awesome, but this video shows you just HOW AWESOME he was on the track. I don't think he even knew what the whip was until the Florida Derby and that was the only time. In just about every race he ran he CRUSHED the other horses. It is truly a beautiful thing to watch. Him getting hurt was the only thing stopping him from winning the triple crown.
Now, that being said, I think that we should all look to the future. I know in my heart that he will make it through all this and live a long, happy life as a stallion and if he can't breed, then that's O.K., too. He has brought hope and a hero to America and, let's face it, we needed it. I believe that everything happens for a reason and although what happened to Barbaro was very tragic, maybe it was to teach us all something. For Barbaro, I think that we should take away something from all this. We shouldn't sit here and "what if" everything that happened, it will get us no where, fast. After all, he's not doing that. The video beautiful says it all at the end, "look into his eyes and see an old soul and the heart of a champion." That heart and soul are still there.


Get well Bobby and thank you for EVERYTHING!!!

Thank you again for the latest update and for continuing with the updates even when you are away!! Tim, Alex, we really appreciate all your efforts and so does Barbaro. Glad to hear Peter may visit Barbaro tomorrow. I hope Barbaro is having a good evening (is he listening to hip hop this evening??) and that the staff at New Bolton are giving him plenty of kisses and petting. Take it easy, sweet Barbaro, Penelope and I love you!

Please have a save trip back from SF, Tim!

Totally captured and moved by my daily peek into Barbaro's amazing determination and all of the wonderful photos and tributes. Just received my "Barbaro" cap and I will wear it proudly - and again thanks to all of you who have the honor of working around this very wise youngster whom I think is here to teach us something.

Posted by: Gale M. at June 19, 2006 7:16 PM

Karen,
Although I've enjoyed all the videos that people have put together of Barbaro, I've enjoyed yours most of all: the song, the simplicity of the dissolves of each photo, and the selection of photos (I'm a video producer, can you tell?) is what really makes this tribute such a special one. Barbaro's personality just bursts through in each photo you have chosen. I want to talk to the photos, and tell him that everything will be ok. Sincerely, Amy Abbot

Posted by: Amy Abbot at June 19, 2006 8:13 PM

Hiya, Bobbey! Sure hope you had good day and that the cast doesn't itch too much. I loved it when you looked up everytime the reporter close to your stall said your name on Belmont Stakes Day. What a smart boy! Are you taking any calcium supplements to help your fractures heal? Do you like to listen to music? I could send you some Mozart CDs; music therapy helps premie babies grow. Pets and "scratches" from Robyn, Brent, & Nikita (the horse-loving Husky).

Hello Barbaro ! Just dropping in to see how your doing- Always thinking of you & everyone there! sending much love, hugs and treats your way !

Posted by: Julia B at June 20, 2006 5:14 AM

Bobby you're lookin mighty fine in that new state of the art fibreglass cast! Thanks to all the staff at New Bolton you are becoming our miracle horsey! Let's not forget all those zillions of prayers that are obviously being answered too! Soon you will be rolling in fields of cool green grass and munching your beloved buttercups. Another day closer to "the good life".We love you STAY WELL! Best wishes to all love from Maribel Ontario Canada

Karen, I just watched your video of Barbaro- I was unable to get the audio and it moved slow on my laptop but the pictures are great ! Thanks for sharing ! I love the shot of Barbaro after the Derby with his nose buried in the blanket of roses !

Posted by: Julia B at June 20, 2006 5:37 AM

This sight is just unbelievable!!!!!!!!!!!Thank You all so very much for all your time & effort in the making of it! I'm sure Barbaro knows how much he is loved & thought of from so many caring hearts! God Bless to all & God Bless our Barbaro!!

I was just looking at some old photos of Secretariat...has anyone noticed, that Barbaros baby brother has the exact same stockings that Sec had...3 socks, except for his left front...wouldn't it be wonderful if this was a sign of great things to come? One can only dream...by the way, does this little boy have a name yet?

Has Barbaro had a visit from his stable pony messaging?

Posted by: Susan at July 1, 2006 3:26 AM

hate to say a word....you are the most important to horse racing....now put your money where ........and give to the Barbaro Fund...Old FriendsEquine.org ,.....ReRun.Org and the ExcellerFund.

OMG, I apologize...that did not come out right.
You are what we have been wanting 25 years for....we need you... Barbaro needs you.

FROM THE BALTIMORE SUN 52 Minutes ago....

Kentucky Derby winner Barbaro had a visit with his surgeon yesterday.

Dr. Dean Richardson said the horse, who is attempting to recover from a broken rear, right leg suffered in the Preakness, could have another cast change this week.

Barbaro has been doing fine since his first cast change June 13, a little over three weeks after the original surgery. At that time, Barbaro was X-rayed and found to be healing properly.

Now nearly three weeks after that first change, Richardson said this cast "is beginning to show signs of wear." On the day the cast is changed, Richardson is expected to X-ray Barbaro's leg.

Posted by: Barbara Kerr at July 3, 2006 4:08 PM

Hi,
I do not know much about horses. Barbaro captured my heart. I must check your update page at least 10 times a day.
Today's cast change and having to replace bent screws and him having an abcess is that bad news?
It sounds bad to me. But I know nothing about horses. I just started giving carrots to one down the street. She seems lonely. I guess she is 25 is that old in horse years?? She just stands in the pasture with 6 birds on her back.
Thank's for all the updates. I am learning about them. I hope things keep getting better for him or I think I am going to be heart broken along with a millon other people.

Thank you so much for your updates on our Barbaro. Your website is really great. I check here several times a day. I loved the pics of baby brother and Mom!! Please continue, I don't what we would do without your website for the latest of news and pics..God be with you-

There's a new update on Bobby's condition at New Bolton site - 6TH CAST REPLACEMENT - however, he does seem to be doing better....thank God!! I don't post very often but believe me, I check this site several times daily and I'm sooo grateful to Alex, Tim, Peter & Kim, and all others for keeping us abreast of what's happening...many thanks to you all!!

Posted by: Mercy at July 10, 2006 8:31 PM

I hadn't heard anything for weeks and have wondered every day about how Barbero is doing. I grieve at the news of another operation, and the various difficulties..though we knew from the outset this would be a long and difficult road. My prayers are for a full recovery and the day when little Barberos roam the pasture. The owners, trainer, jockey..the doctors, all who have loved and cared for Barbero are also in my prayers. I'm so relieved to have found this site..I saw a soundbite on CNN earlier and knew something must have happened and I searched harder this evening and found this website. Thank you, Valerie
When I was a little girl my father bought two horses..Friskie and Wildfire (they were not race horses..but I'm so glad he did that). May St. Francis take special care of Barbero at this difficult time....

Posted by: Valerie at July 11, 2006 2:32 AM

There was a note from Jessica Frank saying she had made a couple videos for Barbaro. May I suggest that the song "Hard to say Goodbye" by Boyz to men, not necessarily a good theme, don't we need positive energy?? I know it's meant in good spirit, but lets stay positive. Thank you, Vicki Atz

Posted by: Vicki Atz at July 11, 2006 4:46 AM

Oh no,just found your wonderful site today and I just love the beautiful video clips from everyone most of all when Im feeling worried about dear Barbaro. For some reason the "its so hard to say goodbye" and the one listed next to that one are both stopping right in the middle of the clips! I have DSL and am able to play all of the other clips and i never have problems with other video clips. Anyone else have this problem? Everyone here after reading comments seem to be so warm-hearted and kind! I wish I would have found all of you weeks ago;I thought I was practically alone trying to check on him every day!

Posted by: Nancy Jean at July 11, 2006 9:08 AM

Grandma Bea & Lade Elizabeth (my kitty-born one week before Bobby) pray for him every day for his recovery and strength to fight the trials of his life.

Stay strong, don't give up. lots of people are pulling for you. you are THE BEST!

thank you for this wonderful & informational site. I agree with Vicki on being positive. Warm, healing light to Barbaro...love him.

Posted by: susan green at July 11, 2006 6:52 PM

Can anyone tell me if Ricardo Orozco gets to go see Barbaro??? He is in some of the pictures that Barbara has on her site of Barbaro at Fair Hill. I have a feeling he is the one who would have done alot of the taking care of Barbaro at Fair Hill. After reading about Ruffian a person realizes how close someone like Richardo is to the horse. Just wondering if he also gets to go see Bobby??? Hoping that he is able to do so.

Posted by: Mary Langkamp at July 12, 2006 5:21 PM

Just as the blazing speed, beauty and courage of Secretariat lifted my spirits in the early 1970's, so the beauty and courage of Barbaro has lifted them again during these days of more turmoil and was in the world. I will continue to hope and pray for the best possible outcome for this gorgeous animal.

Posted by: donnetta at July 13, 2006 4:06 AM

After reading all of the medical reports on Barbaro, I'm wondering why the medical team doesn't try Accupuncture, that method which would surely increase the necessary healing blood flow to the pastern joint and other vital areas?

Posted by: Justine at July 13, 2006 2:32 PM

MY DEAR BOBBY....Almost 14yrs ago I was diagnosed with a very agressive estrogen positive breast cancer.It was so agressive ....I watched the pathologists jaw drop as he studied it in his microscope!!!He later told me that I had 7-10 days to get rid of it or he didn't know what would happen to me.....in exactly 10 days I endured 2 surgeries and was still only given a 50/50 chance at survival....just like you BOY!!

I lost my right breast and endured 4 triple doses of chemotherapy...I was allergic to the suppressant drug so became very ill from each chemo treatment as my body tried to reject the toxic chemicals...my heart became enlarged by the adriamycin(cancer drug kills cancer cells) I lost all my thick beautiful blonde hair(GOD gave me more beautiful blonde hair back)

Four reconstructive surgeries ensued to rebuild my breast with my own tissue taken from my tummy(a tummy-tuck one of the more positive things about everything)My body rejected the new breast and part was removed by emergency surgery.

BOBBY..you and I have many things in common ...multiple surgeries...healing problems....we don't give up and we're pretty darn good super patients under difficult circumstances if I do say so....

I WILL NEVER BE DECLARED CANCER FREE IF I LIVE TO BE 200....BUT THE FACT THAT I EXIST 14yrs AFTER THE FACT .....BEAUTIFUL BOY ....DEFIES ALL ODDS !!!!!!

MY POINT IS THIS "CHAMP".......I LOOK IN YOUR EYES and (I HAVE STARED INTO THE EYES OF DEATH MANY TIMES and I KNOW WHAT THE BEAST LOOKS LIKE) ALL I SEE IN YOUR EYES SWEET BOY..... IS A SURVIVOR !!!!!

I LOVE YOU...more than words can say SWEET BOBBY as does everyone on this website ....all we're asking CHAMP is for you to dig deep inside and muster all your positive energy and willpower to FIGHT as hard as you can!!! YOU HAVE WHAT IT TAKES TO WIN !!!!!!!!!


GOD HAS HIS HAND ON US "CHAMP"....I'LL KEEP MY PRAYER VIGIL....much love horsey hugs and nose rubs from Maribel P.S. POOP ON THE PRESS "CHAMP"(A PUN?)...WHAT DO THEY KNOW?? ...THEY'RE NOT GOD!!!!!

Posted by: Grandma Bea & Ladee at July 13, 2006 7:04 PM

It's too bad that there's already a new movie coming out called "Bobby", the Robert Kennedy story. I think after all this horse has gone through, with the support from his owner's, Michael Matz and his family, the trainers and the incredible staff in intensive care, and the fans, I couldn't think of a more memorable movie title to depict the deepest emotion and shear will and determination of this little bay warrior, Barbaro.

Posted by: Chris at July 14, 2006 12:10 AM

sweet barbaro, you are in my prayers. fight this problem birthday buddy, because you and i are taurus the bull, strong like bull, we are born one week apart and i will NEVER stop praying for you. get well, stay strong, you can do this. God is watching over you. don't give up you beautiful animal

Love Ladee Elizabeth and Grandma Bea

Posted by: grandma bea & lade elizabeth at July 14, 2006 1:21 AM

I thank you for your website, it is very informative but also personal and I felt as though all the people posting are connected emotionally to Barbaro. I wanted also to mention that today I wanted to send a gift to Barbaro and also one to Dr. Richardson, The Jackson family and Mike Matz for all they are doing to help this wonderful horse. I called Kennett Florist in Kennett Square, PA which is right down the street from New Bolton Center where Barbaro is located. The person I spoke to at Kennett Florist was so unbelievably helpful with helping me choose just the right flower arrangement and fruit basket for Barbaro and the gourmet basket for the Dr. and family. I know I took alot of her time and she did not seem to mind one bit, she was supportive and seemed to genuinely care about Barbaro as well. I would highly recommend anyone wanting to send something to let Barbaro know he is in our hearts just to call Kennett Florist, I had the opportunity to see in person the gifts I sent later this afternoon. They were so beautifully arranged and I was very impressed. (just for your information 610-444-6040). I just know that Dr. Richardson, the Jackson Family and Mike all love the gifts that are sent to them to show our unending appreciation!

Posted by: Alex at July 14, 2006 1:49 AM

My love for horses has carried me from age ten to now sixty-four.Y pray that Barbaros lives a long deserved life.Maybe racing should be stopped.Those legs on the horses are way to thin and break way to easy.Mary ANn

This website has really made a difference as I attempted to find out the latest news about precious Bobby. I am overwhelmed by many emotions from the elation of the exciting Derby win to the horrible accident. Your site feels like a friend one can talk to and your depth of caring is comforting as we all wait and pray together for our Bobby's miracle of healing. Love to all, Charlie

I just arrived at this site again after hearing this painful news today July 13. I was stunned at the top of the page when I got to site to find top email was someone who was reminding us Pharlap was also called Bobby......I do not know what more to say other than I love you Barbaro and my prayers go out for yet another miracle in your recovery! You are a superb athelete.....a role model in courage and class. God continue to bless you and the team throughout these difficult days!!!!!!!! Love, Paula from Canada

Posted by: Paula Peterson at July 14, 2006 4:21 AM

Sue from Oxford again. I recommend everybody to check out the photos of Barbaro kindly offered for personal use by top equine photographer Barbara Livingston. I've downloaded two 8 x 10s and they are stunning. Yet again thank you for this site. It's kept me going while desperate for news. Bless you for the link to the latest footage of Barbaro in his sling. Although harrowing to see him strapped up with casts etc, he does look bright. what an amazing spirit this horse has. A true champ. It's nearly noon here (5 hours ahead of Fair Hill) so I'm waiting full of trepidation to see early news of Barbaro, Friday morning. I'm praying he had a comfortable night. Keep fighting Barbaro. Please don't leave us.

Posted by: Sue McMullen at July 14, 2006 11:49 AM

My wife kids and I are all praying for you Barbaro, Lord willing you will be here a while longer for all of us to enjoy your'e spectacular and vivrant spirit. And if it shall be your time to go, we will see you again in all your splendor running through fields of gold. God bless all involved in helping this magnificent creature.

WHEW!!! You got through last night...and you are still here and we still love you. Hey, everyone...keep up with those prayers...they really do work....and Barbaro still needs them. Praise the Lord!!! He does work miracles...

And to now read that he's holding his own! Thank you, Dr. Richardson and all the New Bolton staff! Thank you, dear Bobby! Hurrah! I've got a big lump in my throat, but its a happy lump! Now, hang in there!

Precious Bobby, you've got all of our thoughts, prayers & energy behind you. Don't ever give up! I hear you're a Taurus like me. When is your birthday? We're a determined bunch & you'll give them what for. If you're anything like me -- and I know you are a hundred times over -- when someone says it can't be done, you are even more determined to show them, AND THEN SOME!
I light candles for you & know the angels are whispering encouragement in your ear. May God Bless & Heal you in a miraculous way. Love & prayers, Cheryl

I've been a horse racing fan for about 10 years now and this one breaks my heart. This magnificent athlete ( that's what i typed... ATHLETE ) losing what may have been the most memorable career in sports history, in the blink of an eye. What amazes me is the outpouring of support and emotion for Barbaro. Not that he doesn't deserve it mind you but the depth in which it goes. It's worldwide. If we can rally around this horse like this why can't we do it for our fellow man ? Thank you Barbaro for trying to wake us up. I got your message loud and clear !! How many others did ? God bless you big boy you are an inspiration and teacher to us all. You can win this one too... keep fighting we are all praying for you !!!!!!!

Posted by: Scott Bertzfield at July 15, 2006 4:44 AM

Consider me & mine in on the vigil Saturday night at 7pm. I wish I could be there in person. Like everyone else, we're all praying here all the time. I've set up a little "prayer altar space" for Bobby & am planning on a garden tranquility spot too.
I haven't been getting much sleep either.
Thanks to Phyllis M. for the ST Francis of Assisi
PRAYER FOR OUR ANIMAL FRIENDS.
Precious Bobby, Edgar is your kindred spirit.The image of you napping on Edgar's shoulder touches my heart.Surely a moment for both of you that transcends all understanding.
Rest well Our Handsome Boy & tomorrow you'll feel even better. God's healing light is shining upon you.God is more powerful than any infection. He created you & He can heal you, Sweet Boy.Have a comfortable night of healing rest.I love you.

IMPORTANT IDEA TO SAVE Barbaro!!!!! create a tank of water filled to his shoulders, with a harness for his neck and single straps for his front and hind quarters to hold him upright. With him submerged equal times of the day this would relieve the pressure on his feet because of the lightness of his body in water. It would take a little work out all of the details, but he is worth it!! hope you take this sersiouly and forward to proper authorities. My prayers are with y'all

Just got off the phone with my sister, in Austin, and she plans on participating in the vigil at 6pm (CST). I've got my candle and will be sending good thoughts - though I wish I was still in MD and able to join everyone at NBC.

Wishing you all well and special thoughts to Barbaro & his family. Don't give up!

Hi Birthday buddy, its me again, ladee elizabeth checking in on you and sending good wishes your way. mom having trouble reading your updates for some reason. they disappear from the screen. but we have our candle ready for your vigil and know that this will make you want to fight this problem even more. love the positive updates on espn2 which mom & i are watching all day. just to hear reports on your condition. my carrots (10 lbs) will arrive on monday. stay strong, i love you. and love that i am one week older than you. ha ha. don't give up please, keep that wonderful positive attitude your doc says you have. love, ladee elizabeth & grandma bea
p.s. we came down to see the hospital a few weeks ago.

The waiting is unbearable. Due to the time difference it's lunch time before I get the early word from Alex and co and I'm just not settled until I see that he's still with us. I'm so grateful for all you are doing to keep us informed.
I observed the vigil here in Oxfordshire last night. At midnight (7pm EST) I lit a candle and sat looking at Barbara Livingston's beautiful pictures of Bobby that she has donated for our own use listening to Mario Lanza and 'You'll Never Walk Alone' from a link on this site. This song is part of my past as I was born in Liverpool. I just kept willing him to live.
As Michael Matz said, if any horse can get through this it is Barbaro. Stay with us hero.

Posted by: Sue McMullen at July 16, 2006 1:26 PM

Good morning sweet Barbaro,
We hope you received the carrots and enjoyed them along with the and Delaware Park cap that we left with the guard at the NBC on Saturday 7/15. I am glad to read that you are feeling better. Thanks to the Jackson's, Matz's, Peter and most of all Dr. Richardson. We are all praying for your
recovery!!!!!

Hi Tim and everyone else.
I just finished a video named "Barbaro—Alive & Kicking". It's a tribute to the champ and the people who care for him.

Please check out my movie:

Posted by: Pam Coblyn at July 16, 2006 8:08 PM

Let's do something positive in the light of this great racehorse.

We can't doctor Barbaro, and while we pray for him do something for other racehorses that don't have wonderful owners and trainers.

90,000 horses were slaughtered in America last year. The number will be higher this year. While you ask your legislators to vote for HR 503 and S 1915 to protect all horses please donate to save horses that are in trouble now.

There are many rescues. I've been involved in helping 2 racehorses through Lost and Found Horse Rescue WWW.LFHR.ORG there's NO reason everyone can't pitch in and save race horses. I'm so sad for Barbaro, but it has and should bring this issue to light about the plight of his peers. Don't you think Barbaro would want that? What if he were born to another owner? What if his trainer wasn't kind, and he fell through the cracks. No one would even know about him. There are so many wonderful horses needing help, Seabusciut is a story about a redeemed racehorse. Most of the racehorses that are dumped don't get a second chance.

Please, please, take this time to help save other horses.

http://www.thoroughbredcharities.org/index.html

WWW.LFHR.ORG

and others do help all the time, every day.

Also, your owners care about you so much, you have a lot going for you, so continue to improve and know that so many people want you too. Love, Alice and Elaine, NY fans

Posted by: Alice Moran at July 17, 2006 2:07 AM

Glad to hear that Barbaro had a comfortable weekend. I hope that he's gotten the emails sent to the hospital. This is how I'm sending positive energy.
(From John Lennon's song "Hold On" with Bobby inserted)
"Hold on Bobby, Bobby Hold on
It's gonna be alright
You gonna win the fight"
I had one of the local Beatles station's play the song today dedicated to Barbaro, hope he felt the energy. Maybe he would enjoy listening to The Beatles.
Stay comfortable "Beautiful Boy". You are loved...Patti
Thanks to Tim for posting updates.

I'm so happy to hear Barbaro's hanging tough!What a difference a week makes!! Last week at this time the new was dreadful.I know our prayers are being heard!I held my own private vigil Saturday, as I'm sure many others did who could not attend.Thanks Susan for your imput on being positive!I know there's a long road ahead,but right now I'm doing the Happy Dance in Houston for Barbaro!!!Thank you doctors and staff for being so loving and caring. A thankful fan, Vicki Atz

Posted by: Vicki Atz at July 17, 2006 5:08 AM

I am so thankful I have found this message board about Barbaro. I, like millions of others, have been searching the web everyday for updates on this fabulous horse. I have also been so terribly disappointed at the many posts on different chat sites that allow stupid people to post their ignorant comments regarding his fate. One had a picture of Barbaro winning the Derby with the = sign and a picture of Elmer's Glue. How can people be so uncaring? I would certainly hate to even imagine the types of personal relationships low-life people like that would have.

But you guys are super and its refreshing to read all the caring posts that are here.

I take my hat off to everyone involved in the care and treatment of Barbaro. This horse has captured the hearts of so many around the world. Just look at his eyes...they are so kind and intelligent. Not all horses have that. He truly IS an old soul. For a horse with his tremendous athletic ability, his will to run and win so innate that he prematurely broke from the starting gate, to suddenly be put in the situation of doing virtually nothing and accepting it is incredible. Its as if he knows what's happening to him on a minute to minute basis is truly for his own good. I've known humans who have the ability to reason, that couldn't adapt as well as Barbaro has done given similar situations. Super Horse....without a doubt. Intelligent...beyond belief. Loved...we should all be so lucky.

I pray for you Barbaro as do millions of others and I truly believe you hear our prayers.

You are a winner, regardless of the Preakness, or the Belmont or any other race that may have been in your future. You are a winner at the game of life and we are all betting on you, we are all holding that Winning Ticket!!!!

This could possibly be your laugh of the day but got a message from friend that everyone will lite a candle at 7EST Saturday for Barbaro, and said something about Tim Woolley website. So there I was Saturday 6 CST standing on my front porch, in broad day light, with cars whizzing by, saying my Barbaro prayers, with a lit candle. The next day I found out they were virtual candles. Cannot imagine what the people in the cars thought. Sure hope my candle will be added to the rest, and my prayer that he lives a long and happy life romping in the meadows be added also.

Another good day for you my beauty!I hope you're staying comfortable. How about that sling,huh? Pretty fancy!I hear you're doing doggy sits, maybe you can teach my dog a trick or two!You sleep tight tonight,tomorrw will be brighter!! Lots of prayer and love. Love&Hugs, Vicki

Posted by: Vicki Atz at July 17, 2006 10:54 PM

Okay guys, how do I join this Barbaro Family??? Is this the spot or is there a chat room??? I want to join too if its a chat room.

Sleep tight by beauty, and wake up feeling bright and spunky!! Bernal,glad you found the site,it's great! Also,www.vet.upenn.edu where Barbaro and his doctors reside. Don't bother looking anywhere else. These two are the real deal!!Thank you all for including us on Barbaro's journey. I know he'll be alright! Lots of prayer and positive energy!!And love of course, Kisses to Barbaro, Love&Hugs,Vicki

Posted by: Vicki Atz at July 18, 2006 4:40 AM

What would we do without this site. It's keeping us all going. My daily routine is now a bit surreal, totally consumed with Bobby. I can't rest until I get the first bulletin of the day from Alex telling us how our boy got through the night. But I have to wait until noon-ish for that as I'm in Oxfordshire, UK. Then I check in for the rest of the day to see what's going on. We are so lucky to have this 'inside track' and I'm sure I speak for all of us in this little community in sending heartfelt thanks to you all at Tim Woolley's. We are in your debt.
Bobby is truly unbelievable, taking everything that's been thrown at him and remaining strong and bright-eyed. I'm not a particularly religious person but I'm just off to light a candle for Bobby at the St Mary the Virgin church in Oxford which some reading this might have visited. It's an ancient church (I think 13th century) with an amazing history. It just seems appropriate somehow as this is one special individual. He just has to make it, after all that he's gone through.
Keep the faith everybody and hang in there Bobby.

How's my precious today? What's this being compared to Lassie? Folks, he's "Barbaro", no comparison! (sorry Lassie) Pam your "Alive and Kicking" was terrific,I really thought your choice of titles was perfect! All positive energy! OK Barbaro, stay strong and patient. Love&Hugs, Vicki

Posted by: Vicki Atz at July 18, 2006 5:12 PM

Hello and thank you from the bottom of my broken heart for this online outlet to express love for Barbaro . I love him so much . The little film of Barbaro with the song "You Are So Beautiful" in it says it all - thank you for the much the needed cry ... and now on to sending all the positive energy one person can come up with to the symbol of equine greatness and nobility in our lifetime - BARBARO . Get well sweetheartface . We really need you on this planet .

Bless all you people out there who care so much for this lovely smart horse! May we all care so much for ourselves and each other! He is a teacher for us, teaching unconditional love. As much as I want Barbaro to survive and live a long healthy life I also realize I cannot control the future. Whatever happens he has changed how many view racing, innovative care for horses, the power of prayer and positive thinking. What a powerful experience he has brought us.

Posted by: Bonnie MacRaith at July 19, 2006 4:39 AM

Linda Elsen....You were right ....it wasn't just virtual candles !!!! I lit a candle at 7pm EST and also lit a candle at greatfulnes.org for Bobby !!! If you looked silly there were probably a few thousand others all over the world looking rather strange with their candles too !!!! In years to come people will be in awe of OUR SATURDAY NIGHT BARBARO VIGIL !!! I don't think anyone has any idea of the real scope of it???!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Posted by: Maribel at July 19, 2006 5:24 AM

Just watched a few of the tributes to this big, brave, wonderful horse and I can already feel my eyes swelling (I just need to remember to take out my contacts or I won't be able to open my eyes at all tomorrow).

I'm so comforted reading the posts, knowing there is still so much good out there, when the world seems such a cynical, dark place right now.

Once again, thanks to all of you, EVERYONE at NBC, the Jacksons, the Matz's, EVERYONE at Tim Woolley's (special gratitude for keeping us all informed), and , thank you, Barbaro. You continue to give me hope.

Heal Sound and Heal Strong dear friend!

Take care everyone and good night-

Great piece on WJZ. Wished we could have seen even more of Fair Hill and Tim's horses. But - on a lighter note at this difficult time for Bobby fans - when I discovered this site (or perhaps I should say lifeline) a few weeks ago I assumed for some unknown reason that Alex was female. Why I thought this I've no idea but I guessed 'she' was perhaps Tim's partner. Funny how you get these ideas. I was looking forward to finally seeing our trusty correspondent who is doing such a sterling job in keeping us informed and helping our frayed nerves. So it was quite funny when I saw the WJZ piece, aired my time at 11.30pm, and I discovered the truth!
Keep up the good work Alex, you really are a lifeline for all of us trying to go about our daily business and dipping into the site periodically for news of our fella.

Posted by: Sue McMullen at July 19, 2006 4:13 PM

Another day of good news! Thanks to Tim, Alex, and everyone at Kennet Florist for keeping us up to date!

Just read the PGA article and will be writing a response when I get home from work. What a miserable person! I can't find any way to respect anyone who doesn't respect animals - I feel there's something very "off" about them.

Anyway, Barbaro - keep fighting! Heal Sound and Heal Strong. You've got so many people rooting for you and who love you.

Hi All
Thank you all for your love & support to B___,NBC,& Kennett Square. As Bernie reported NBC was positive,and up beat today. They loved all the gifts. The carrot basket went straight back to him. We will be going first thing tomorrow. And also in the afternoon.

Good morning all; I took care of 2 items on my agenda, one was mailing a check to the "Mike Rea Recovery Fund" Raffle Drawing & the other was ordering 2 License Plates,"Image of Barbaro" with get well messages everywhere, just to the right is a Bold BARBARO & a slightly smaller "Champion" under...Should look very good on the front of my Honda Civic. As Dr. Richardson describes this journey as a Marathon, I'm going to settle in, read the messages on both boards every day & pray for the "CHAMP"..I want to see little Barbaro's & Barbarette's in a couple/three years..Alex, Tim, & all those who are involved in the "Mike Rea Recovery Fund", Have a great day....Clearwater Charlie & My "Bichon" Tommy....

How beautiful these stories are! I'm afraid I am completely naive about horses and horse racing, but there is something intriguing, indomitable and absolutely breath-taking about this magnificent Barbaro. I look faithfully for updates about him. Bless his devoted team of professionals doing everything humanly possible to heal him. His spirit, his determination are unbelievably inspiring. He is a role model for anyone who doubts the power of "believe in yourself". Barbaro, you are truly a gift!

Before long, you will know what a blow out, a breeze or just a plain old jog is.
Thanks to Alex for doing the breeze explanation.

If wishes were horses, you would be well. You WILL be well.

What sad news about Gallant Secret. More tears for another beautiful baby.Please don't let Bobby hear about this, he's too smart, this may bring his spirits down! Godspeed little beauty, may angels watch over you. Much love, Vicki

It is such a comfort to be able to come to this site and join hundreds probably thousands of Barbaro fans and well wishers. Thank you for the daily updates and continued videos of this beloved horse. As you do, I pray for him daily and in this world of turmoil and devestation...this one miracle would be so uplifting.

Posted by: Heather Hill at July 23, 2006 4:16 AM

Good Morning Team Barbaro. I've had a chance today to look through the videos on the Fan Media page - they are all awesome - thanks to everyone who's contributed those.

Great news that our boy is maintaining well - thanks to his team at New Bolton and everyone sending their prayers his way. I can't wait for the video showing him walking his way out of intensive care - and all the smiles on people's faces. You can make it Big Guy!!

Posted by: Shelley in Toronto at July 23, 2006 3:38 PM

Happy Sunday everyone! Always a good day when news of Barbaro is good. An uneventful weekend, that's a good thing! That baby staying so strong and in good spirit, it's a miracle, he's been through so much. Lets pray all's steady and nowhere to go but up!! Love&Hugs, Vicki

Posted by: Vicki Atz at July 23, 2006 5:09 PM

BTW, Team Barbaro, how about one day posting a picture of you all with names identifying each of you. Not asking too much,huh?? Be nice to see you all. Have a good day, Vicki

Posted by: Vicki Atz at July 23, 2006 5:12 PM

Thank you to all of you who have worked with Barbaro now or in the past.
From what I've read and the resulting recovery he is undergoing-he must have quite a spirit.
It is that underlining horse spirit that made me fall in love with these animals many years ago.
I have a lot of faith in God and in Miracles. I'm praying for a Miracle for Barbaro.

Posted by: Vicque at July 24, 2006 4:26 AM

How's my baby today? Heard you had another goodnight, YEA!! It's always a good day when the news continues good about Bobby!!

Hi,

I'm a huge fan of this website ...and I want to THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart
for all your wonderful updates on BARBARO! I have shed many tears the last few weeks over
this magnificent boy. I'm ever so grateful that there are so many of us pulling for him..praying for him! He is a fighter with a heart of gold!!

I found your site by getting on Google and typing in "Barbaro's baby brother"...and
lo and behold you site was an option and the rest is history! Awesome pics of Barbaro..and his mom and baby brother!

Thank you all again...I'm so grateful to get updates from you all..especially when there
are't posted on the U Penn website right away!
I love all your photos..and I wish Barbaro's baby brother and Mom could visit him!!

My thoughts and prayers are with Barbaro, the Jacksons, Michael, Edgar, Dr Richardson
and you all at Fair Hill who have had the chance to know Barbaro personally! I'm praying he will come through this ordeal! I'm

With Gratitude,

Posted by: Vicki Atz at July 29, 2006 9:05 PM

For those of you who haven't come across this I thought I'd share it with you. It was always read out on the final night of one of the UK's major horse shows. I was reading it the other day and it made me think of Bobby.

Ode to the Horse.

Where in this wide world can man find nobility without pride
Friendship without envy, beauty without vanity?
Here, where grace is laced with muscle,
And strength by gentleness confined
He serves without servility, has fought without enmity,
There is nothing so powerful, nothing less violent,
There is nothing so quick, nothing so patient.
England’s past has been borne on his back.
All our history is his industry.
We are his heirs, he is our inheritance.

- THE HORSE

Posted by: Sue McMullen at July 29, 2006 9:24 PM

I know you're sound asleep dreaming beautiful thoughts.Get a good rest so you can stay strong and spunky!What do horses dream of?? My guess is a field full of buttercups and lovely fillies!!Lots of prayers,love and ear tickles. Love&Hugs, Vicki

Posted by: Vicki Atz at July 31, 2006 4:03 AM

Bernadini Horse of the Year? Barbaro's name draws more media attention and loving fans. His fighting spirit in the face of adversity have made for no contest. Ask the fans. Barbaro is "Horse of the Year".

Horse! Did I say horse?He's Barbaro,enough said!! Keep getting better,we're all praying for you.Love&Hugs,Vicki

Just wanted to let all BARBARO fans know that FINALLY a true passionate BARBARO fan has painstakingly created the ultimate BARBARO TIME PIECE. I just saw it on E-bay and it's the ONLY one I've seen so far. It's a 14 HOUR TIME CAPSULE of BARBARO on either vhs or dvd that is constantly being added on to. BOOTSRWALKN is now selling it on E-bay on auction #170013517489 and it shows every single one of his races in their entirety and most in their entire televised broadcasts PLUS a ton of other great footage of him following him thru his TC campaign. It shows his works, jogs, gallops going into the KD, all footage in-between the KD & P; excellent little segments on him and his human connections, the gut-wrenching mishap and all the day-to-day goings on with his recovery. Every BARBARO fan should check it out - sounds like a must-have!

Posted by: Kathy at August 1, 2006 5:01 AM

I just found out about the vigil for Bobby this Saturday at 7:00p.m.wherever you are. Folks don't forget about the virtual candles,www.gratfulness.org, Lets make the event even bigger and really light up (barba's) group site!Positive energy and prayer are powerful! Until later, A loving fan,hugs, Vicki, PS, All of this in the name of love for our Barbaro!!

Posted by: Vicki Atz at August 1, 2006 5:18 AM

Barbaro gave his all, to try to win the race in which he was critically hurt. Everyone needs to pray without ceasing for his recovery. I plan to come to Kennett Square in person, to sign his get well card and to anoint with holy water, the lamp post that leads to the hospital in which Barbaro and other animals are recooperating. God is watching over you, Barbara, you are very brave. We love you!

Posted by: Donna Vecero at August 1, 2006 4:35 PM

I have been riding horses since age three and I love them. I have been following Barbaros progress throughout this ordeal thatnk you so much for keeping him alive you are a roll model to an aspiring large animal vet and horse lover.

Posted by: Elizabeth Phillipson-Weiner at August 1, 2006 4:40 PM

Is there any way to see or visit Barbaro?
I hope he continues to get better!

Posted by: Elizabeth Phillipson-Weiner at August 1, 2006 4:41 PM

OH, HOW COMFORTING TO SEE THAT OTHERS ARE LIFTING BARBARO UP IN PRAYER. I THINK IT IS WORKING. LET US REMEMBER TO HOLD HIM UP DAILY UNTIL HE CAN DO SO HIMSELF.

Posted by: RUTH at August 1, 2006 10:02 PM

I just have to say to the writer from the Salon, "Here's Your Sign!" May you get carpal tunnel in both your hands.

Some people just like to be doubting Thomases. She is just an idiot that doesn't really deserve a response from any of us.

But on the other hand!!!! Great posts today. Mike C., you are awesome, TLC, you are too and so are each and everyone of us that are here on a dailey basis for the most part, on behalf of a horse, that is beating the odds. A great horse that will be remembered forever in our hearts and minds. I think he is a Messenger Horse and perhaps his purpose here is to bring attention to all the deaths at the tracks. They need to look into these problems and others that I won't go into right now.

Anyway, love you guys. And Please go light those candles!!!! Let's get a freakin Bonfire going for Bobby. It should be that way already with 12,000 hits a day on this site alone!!! Just think, if everyone took a moment and lit a candle, we'd probably blow-up that website.

Gotta run, love to all and special love to Bobby.

Posted by: Bernel Kress at August 2, 2006 1:01 AM

I have faith this great horse knows what he has to do. I keep checking his condition daily. Stay strong big guy you are going to make it. I feel if you reach for the moon you will always land in the stars. I am a great horse lover from way back my father raced his horse many years ago. I know this terrific horse will win one more time.
With prayers and love go BARBARO!!!!

Posted by: Pat Carrico at August 2, 2006 2:11 AM

Good report today! Our prayers are being heard,and the angels are working overtime. Thank you Lord!My beautiful Barbaro,you are going to make it! Hey Bernel, keep spreading the word about Saturday,we're going to rock that website with a ton of love!We love you my Bobby! Hugs,Vicki

Posted by: Vicki Atz at August 2, 2006 3:53 AM

Thanks to all for your collective honesty, frankness, patience, and for allowing Barbaro to vote!

The odds have been long from day one, but considering Barbaro's desire to continue that is not visible to most while under the scrutiny of international judgment takes tremendous courage, which you have demonstrated throughout and should all be thoroughly congratulated!

We are realists, and despite having made an “ultimate” decision ourselves once, have been skeptical in the past of immediate actions taken by others under similar circumstances. Your sensitive response to this very unfortunate incident has given us a greater appreciation of the consequences to such injuries and certainly put any initial skepticism behind.

As fans, we cannot ask for more than the confidence you have given that every decision has and will continue to be made in the interest of Barbaro’s wellbeing. For that we offer our genuine thanks and very best wishes going forward.

Sincerely,
Bruce & Alice from Green Lane, PA

Posted by: Bruce & Alice at August 2, 2006 2:51 PM

Good going Bobby! We love you! The news is good and all of the prayers for a recovery are working. We love you sweet boy. Continue to get well. Many thanks to all of your support group and family. Thanks Mr and Mrs Jackson for paying for all of this. We love you for it. God Bless the talented Dr Richardson also! Michael Matz, thanks for your continued support and updates. Barbaro is very lucky to have you all.

Posted by: Mindy at August 2, 2006 3:09 PM

It would be great if we could see current pics of Barbaro in his recovery. I worry and think he isn't happy. Show us pics of him having a spring in his sling! It's been since 7/14 since we've seen pics. Please post some!!

I was visiting PA (Middletown)this week and finished my visit in Ardmore. I took the scenic route to Ardmore so I could go by New Bolton. I stopped, pulled in and read the posters/cards and just reflected for a moment about how this horse has touched so many. This was a good feeling especially since local TV had a positive update on Bobby's condition earlier that morning.
My continued best wishes for Bobby's safe recovery and more kudo's to all the folks making this possible.....

Our family prayers are with you and your owners Barbaro. You are truly the poster child of american horse's everywhere. Go Barbaro show the world your strength, beauty and grace in the face of hard odds. Fight big boy.......

Hi, New to this site..I have been trying to find stuff on Barbaro everyday.At first there was a lot but as time progresses the coverage wanes. I have been a horselover all my life. I rode and showed for many years and they were the best times. Now that I am disabled ... I cannot do a lot of that but a highlight is following racing via the media. Barbaro racing was awesome..and after his injury has shown such courage and grace. He has inspired me to try harder on those really bad days.Thanks for providing a place to connect to others. Nancy

The prayers and love in here is so strong for Barbaro, he is going to live for a reason I really believe this and I pray it is to stop these "Breakdowns" from happening as much as they are ? Why Why no one seems to have answers the link below takes you to the tragic story of a bystander seeing "Easy Strider" breakdown at Arlington Park ,this has to be solved maybe through "Bobby"?
He has opened some eyes to this tradgey.I read your posts every morning ,thank you Alex & Tim and all you barbomaniacs I am learning a lot here "heal Barbaro "You have a very big reason to help us stop these "breakdowns "

I'll bet at least double the amount who logged into the vigil lit candles. I did, I'm on the west coast, and was about an hour late..but it was a big candle ! It burned bright with thoughts and prayers for Barbaro and gratitude for the progress he is making and the people on earth helpling God do his work.

Wind Kissed Miracle

Ancient One
Trusting One
Knowing One
Our wind kissed miracle
Who has captured all of our hearts

Heaven touched you
When you ran, you flew
Ancient Soul, you knew
Where your friends the Winds slept

You knew how to find Them
To ask if they could play
Chase in meadows, or at the break of day
To sail effortless down tracks of dirt


We watched in awe
Your effortless stride took our breath away
A small pebble caused you to stumble
Then stole your winged hoofs

Ancient One
Trusting One
Knowing One
Our wind kissed miracle
Who has captured our hearts
We still watch in awe

As you fly, and soar
On new Wind friends
Winds of healing love
Healing breath sent daily to you, dearest Ancient Soul
Soon you will play chase in a meadow
Once again take our breath away.

!"if anything Barbaro's spirit and attitude are getting better. he said he's not getting tired of the routine, he's getting brighter. he said he REALLY wants out of the stall.... every time the door opens he's ready."

What a wonderful report! Thank you so much for the extra tidbit of news. It like getting an “A” on ones report card. And they say prayers don’t make a difference. Praise God!

Posted by: Judy Walker in WA at August 8, 2006 3:46 PM

Thanks Alex for the update.So happy to hear to hear Michael's take on what he sees in Bobby's eyes, it's encouraging,his eyes brighter, his spunkiness,and even the worry and fear in his eyes,that to me shows his intelligence.He knows he needs all the extra care to get well. Lots of love, hugs and ear scratches to my baby!Until later,Love, Vicki, Patiently waiting to hear about the cast change.

Update just released from NBC & the NEWS is very good for both rear legs. The healing continues at a very satisfactory level. Bobby is so intellegent, And as the doctor says, he has figured it out. I think we still have 2 concerns, one being infection & the other is Laminitis in another foot.. So far, neither have occurred & I pray for continued good updates. He is a Champion of Champions, on & off the Track. We have a dozen or more Super Great Pictures of Bobby next to my computer & a super great License Plate with his picture & BARBARO & CHAMPION under...I just can't thank Alex & Tim, etc. for all the Updates, Links to video's, poem's..Just Great...Love you Bobby.....

This poor lttle darling has been performing with this huge mass,you know HE HAS HEART!I pray that it's operatable and has a good prognosis.Candles lit, prayers said and a ton of positive energy.I hope LITF has a good,kind and compassionate Dr.as our Bobby has had the good fortune to have.These beautiful beings take my breath away.They should be up on pedestals,never having to suffer. Bobby,you're so loved.LITF,I pray for you.Until tommorrow. Love, Vicki

Hi Vicki,thank you for your concern and prayers for dear Lost in the Fog....


What an amazing horse....


Please see Barbara Livingstons' wonderful page of pics of Fog...

Glad you can read some of the discussions...


What a great update today...and here is a fav post David posted today....(not sure if you are ever reading the main page posts)...


"This could happen.
In a few months from now an Equine Ambulance with sirens going full blast pulls up to the main entrance to Lael Stables, the door to the ambulance opens and the ramp slides forward and extends its self to the ground. Exiting the Ambulance will be his support staff, each carrying arm loads of donated gifts consisiting of carrots, mints, etc. Finally this exquisitely powerful and handsome figure emerges wearing an autographed custom made blanket from Churchill Downs that says "Barbaro" on the side, and finally this gallant
warrior who has touched the soul of an entire nation says, Mom, Gretchen, I'm home.

Now, let us all spread our wings and love around The Fog as well as Barbaro.
Blessings to you all.

Posted by: Mary Copelin at August 19, 2006 3:19 AM

So sad, I'm so broken hearted about Lost in the Fog.More tears,his poor people that love him,it must be so painful to have to say goodbye to such a wonderful,amazingly beautiful being.Only 4 years old. How did this baby continue to perform? Those growths didn't happen overnight.You know he HAS HEART and a great willingness to please.That's what they do, they give us so much joy!Without being rude,but do they have to put Foggy to rest so soon?Is he in great distress?Couldn't he just be pampered and catered to for awhile? I guess I have trouble letting go.Let God give Foggy's people strength,for Foggy's in God's hands now.Oh,Bobby, what saddness!We must count our blessings for the gift we have been given in seeing you doing well.You keep up the good work,I love you sweet boy. Thank you Linda A. for your messages,yes,it's a very sobering day.Tomorrow at bobby's vigil,Please lets take a little extra time to include Foggy, I'm sure Barbaro wouldn't mind sharing some prayers.Love to all who share these sites about our precious horses. Hugs,Vicki

Posted by: Vicki Atz at August 19, 2006 4:18 AM

I'm celebrating Bobby's good spirits and his continuing recovery.Always praying for him and wishing him a happy life. But now there are many tears for Lost in the Fog.I pray for his comfort and that he can enjoy more time than predicted.Let him enjoy the lovely SF Bay area,and be with the ones who love him so.Maybe,he'll be granted some extra time.Wouldn't that be a gift!We sure can pray for that.He's another horse who is so fortunate to have special owners.My heart weeps for them.Let's remember to do a dual vigil @7:00pm.BTW, that article by Scott Ostler was terrific,I guess Foggy has magical charisma like someone else we all know and love!Love, prayers,and light a candle!!Good positive thoughts. Love, Vicki

Posted by: Vicki Atz at August 19, 2006 10:44 PM

BARBARO..we are vigiling,praying for you......the latest pics from Sabina are SOOO CUTE...


SO much to be thankful for...


I agree with you Vicki....what a terrible time for dear Fog and loved ones,it is really a tragedy...I read the articles..what a wonderful owner,trainer,groom and jockey.....what a HORSE...just absolutely amazing..God bless FOG...


Are you seeing all the videos? grazing in the grass has a new ending..so cute....
tribute TO FOG by Jfrank17 is excellent,Barbaras' pics are fabulous...

Agreed, that NYTimes article was good and positive!Hi! back at you Linda! Did you see jcarsons blog on Foggy @ jcarson.com Boy,what a flip flop feeling, Our Bobby may be turning a corner and Foggy's awful prognosis! Tears of joy, tears of saddness.These animals who come into our lives,we watch them,love them, and all they want to do is please us. They should never have to suffer.Thank you Lord for taking care of Bobby, Please watch over Foggy as well.Until later, Love, Vicki

Barbaro,wow!--Mr Matz grazing you today!...that is soooo great!!!!!!!


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Another great 'nugget' from David Ledell(maybe you read this)....Dave Letell reported on Bobby's last work for the Kentucky Derby (timestamp 8:23 pm):

"Why Barbaro is a "Superhorse" and how he crushed the best field in the "Derby" in the last thirty-five years.

Barbaro had an unconventional breeze at Churchill-fast and a very long stride (over 25 feet). His internal speed figures were super, best of the week. Barbaro never really quickened--he simply extended his long stride down the stretch and showed complete superiority. He had a stride length of 24 feet going into the first turn, on the backstretch and on the far turn. He maintained the same basic speed for each quarter to the end--but when he hit the stretch, he extended his stride length to 24.9 feet. Thus, he covered the last quarter in fewer strides than he took for each previous quarter. For another horse to beat him that horse would have to have been on even terms at the quarter pole and had a stride length of a minimum of 25 feet down the stretch. And that would have been a real stretch."(quoted from David Ledell)

Cancer inoperable for Lost in the Fog
COLT WILL SPEND FINAL DAYS AT HOME
By Jay Heater
MediaNews

Having received the news Friday that Lost in the Fog's cancer had spread and was inoperable, trainer Greg Gilchrist made a tough but loving decision.

He decided to bring his dying 4-year-old colt home to his stall at Golden Gate Fields.

``We are going to pamper him for a week to 10 days,'' said Gilchrist, whose voice trembled with emotion during a conference call to discuss the condition of last year's Eclipse Award winner as the top sprinter in the nation.

``We know the end is inevitable and we don't want the horse to go through more than he needs to. We want him to be with his own people.''

Don Smith, the horse's veterinarian, estimated **Lost in the Fog might live from four months to a year.** However, Gilchrist indicated that the horse would be euthanized at home if he started to feel any pain.

Smith said a medical team at the UC-Davis Veterinarian Medical Teaching Hospital performed a laparoscopy into the abdomen on Friday morning. That test revealed two new tumors in addition to the cantaloupe-sized tumor found in his spleen Sunday. Smith said one of the tumors was about the size of an egg, but a football-sized tumor was found along the spine.

``That one is not one that could be removed surgically,'' he said.

If Friday's tests hadn't revealed any new tumors, veterinarians were going to attempt to remove Lost in the Fog's spleen Wednesday.

Gilchrist, who will ship Lost in the Fog back to Golden Gate Fields today, went to the recovery room to see his colt after the anesthesia wore off. Veterinarians had asked Gilchrist if he wanted the horse to be euthanized at the hospital.

``He picked his head right up when he saw me,'' Gilchrist said. ``I have to tell you that had a lot to do with my decision. This horse is like a brother to me. I have more respect for this horse than 70 to 75 percent of the people I deal with on a daily basis.''

Gilchrist made the decision to bring Lost in the Fog home.

``The horse is not in a whole lot of pain,'' Gilchrist said. ``The best word you could use is that he is uncomfortable at times.''

Besides allowing his staff to say goodbye to Lost in the Fog, having the horse at home will allow owner Harry Aleo to visit.

``Mr. Aleo is a tough, old guy, but this is bringing him to his knees,'' Gilchrist said.

After attending a sale in Florida this weekend, Gilchrist will return to Golden Gate Fields to keep an eye on his horse.

``When this horse is euthanized, I will be there,'' he said. ``I won't let him go by himself.''

Gilchrist was asked if Lost in the Fog, winner of 11 of 14 races and $978,099, would be paraded around the Golden Gate Fields track a final time for the fans who have been calling UC-Davis, Gilchrist and the track in support of the horse.

``I don't think so,'' he said. ``The horse has lost a little weight. I would want him looking as good as he ever did when he was racing. We've been kicking around a couple of ideas if people would want to come see him.

``I have been training a lot of years and I've never faced anything like this.''

After Lost in the Fog dies, Gilchrist said he probably will cremate him and send his ashes to a farm in Ocala, Fla., where he was raised.

``We've traveled a tough road together,'' Gilchrist said. (2006 MercuryNews.com)the **'s are my addition.

Two more horses put down at Arlington,Our Memento,and Big Attlet (so sad)..no more news on Jenny on the Radio.


Yes,praying for Lost in the Fog and his loved ones,what an amazing horse! So very sad. WM and CL wrote a poem from 'Barbaro to Lost'--Barbaros' Tribute to Lost in the Fog.


Prayers for those that sorrow,prayers for Lost,and prayers and thankfullness continuing for our Dearie BARBARO...

Linda,wish I could e-mail this to you, but I'm sure Tim & Alex wouldn't mind. It's Mercy Turanos idea,a long shot but with good merit.It's under recent discussons,"A Barbarian Response to Mike Rhea's Letter",she has an application forABC's Extreme Makeover Home Edition and will require as many individual letters saying why Mike&Family are deserving, with such a tragedy,his connection to Barbaro and a overwhelming support from all of us,it could result in consideration. She will post further info. Try to go to chat room to read her plan 1st hand,as I may not be too clear.I'll be in touch.Also will be vigiling tomorrow 7:00pm,Barbaro and Foggy, keep Mike in prayers also.Goodnight, Love,Vicki

Mary; Your are correct & Todd Pletcher is 1/2 right. Sure Barbaro is our sentimental choice for HOY. Look at the Whole Horse. Racing Record, 3-Turf won by large Margins, always in hand, 1 was Stake & other was Grade 3. 3 Huge Wins on Dirt against the best at the time, 1 Grade 3 & 2 Grade 1.
His terrible injury in the Preakness, his transport to NBC, his surgery & later the Liminitis, and his daily healing from both. Because of Barbaro's life, on & off the track in 2006, thousands of people have donated $$$ to NBC & other rehab facilities for thoroughbreds, more research is being/will be done for race track/training injuries, including liminitis. Race tracks are changing their surfaces at a faster rate, because of Barbaro's Preakness Injury. More young people will sign up to attend Vet & Vet Ass't school...
Todd need's to look at the big picture, as Barbaro's contribution to racing & treatment/rehab from serious injuries during the year 2006 certainly qualifies him for HORSE OF THE YEAR.....

Love you Barbaro,thinking of you!Please keep on this positive road, you have a lot of fans pulling for you.have a good weekend and I hope they spoil you rotten!!Love, Vicki, Prayer vigil @7:00pm, remember to light the candles!!

Posted by: Vicki Atz at August 26, 2006 8:17 PM

Good Morning, Barbaro!! I hope you had AGN and sweet dreams. I read where Dr. R. changed your cast and was pleased with what he saw. Thank you, Lord so much.

I just read an article that more research will be going into Laminitis. It will be a priority from now on. I was so thrilled to see that. Because of your devasting accident not only have you brought attention to the world of race track conditions but now the attention is going to research for laminitis disease.

The Lord had and has special plans for you Barbaro. All six races you ran and Won. The fastest racing time for the Kentucky Derby in years. The love and bringing together of all people around the world for You. Then the petition for safer race tracks and now major reseach for laminitis disease, just overwhelms me.

I have loved horses all my life. This fall, I am planning on riding again in tribute to you, Barbaro. I live Arizona so I can only ride during the cooler weather. I can't wait!!

You, Barbaro, have brought so many emotions from so many people. Sadness, tears, hopefullness, thankfulnness, and now the pure joy of watching you grazing outside in the sun and warmth of blue skies. We are very much aware of the long journey ahead for you. But, Barbaro, you give us strength each day to follow your progress. Your're a fighter and yet so very gentle and willing to let Dr. R. do the work he has to do to help keep you well and safe.

In my mind and heart you are The Horse of The Year, Barbaro.

God Bless You.

Take it easy while Dr. R. is resting the next few days. You both deserve it.

Love, Kathy

P.S. Those of you who haven't signed the Safer Race Track Petition yet please do it now and spread the word.

Also is there any word out yet on the bracelets. I want one very much.

Good to see everyone,hello to Vicki!

An excellent quote from the 'main page'..I thought you might enjoy reading this about 'our great one'!!!


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
quoted from David Letell:

"I have been watching and betting on racing for over sixty years and this years Kentucky Derby, I saw the greatest racehorse in my life, Barbaro, was awesome, and he just crushed the Derby field.
Barbaro had an unconventional breeze at Churchill-fast and a very long stride (over 25 feet). His internal speed figures were super, best of the week.

He had a stride length of 24 feet going into the first turn, on the backstretch and on the far turn. He maintained the same basic speed for each quarter to the end--but when he hit the stretch, he extended his stride length to 24.9 feet. Thus, he covered the last quarter in fewer strides than he took for each previous quarter. For another horse to beat him that horse would have to have been on even terms at the quarter pole and had a stride length of a minimum of 25 feet down the stretch. And that would have been a real stretch. I believe he would have gone on to win the triple crown and set many track records, he was not only the best racehorse
I ever saw, but was in a class by himself.

When I was young I grew up in Louisiana, and lived just two blocks from the Southern Pacific railroad tracks we would go down to watch the Sunset Limited which would roar past, on its way to California.You could hear it coming several miles down the track. When we heard it coming, we would jump up and down and shout with glee, here comes the
"Big Train", here comes the "Big Train",

thats exactly what I thought when the Derby announcer was calling the race when he said, and here comes the unbeaten colt, Barbaro he has broken away on the outside, and has swept past the front runners, Keyed Entry and Sinister Minister, he has now has taken over the lead, Barbaro has now broken into the clear and is really pouring it on, he's running away from the field, its now all Barbaro, and he wins the Kentucky Derby by seven.

The only thing I could think of then the announcer was calling the race was my childhood days when we use to jump up and down and yell,

here comes the "Big Train". here comes the "Big Train".

I believe the "Big Train", Barbaro, would have won the triple crown and take his rightful place as one of the greatest throughbreeds of all times. He is an unworldly courageous horse who will forever be my "Big Train".

Have read the reports on "Fog" being given Chemotherapy, would suggest that Gilchrist
get in touch with his new method of cancer
tumor treatment that would take a sample of
Fogs blood, modify it, put it back in, and the modified blood seeks out the tumors and destroys
them. I realize this is a long shot, but its better
than him being put down. Here is the article on the treatment.

Scientists 'train' cells to fight skin cancer
Treatment hailed as 'proof' gene therapy works

By JEFF NESMITH
COX NEWS SERVICE

WASHINGTON -- Government scientists revealed Thursday that they had successfully used genetic engineering to "train" the white blood cells of two melanoma patients to attack and destroy the cancer.

The experiment failed to help 15 other melanoma patients.

However, it represents a "proof of principle" that gene therapy can be used to successfully treat cancer, other scientists said.

Mark Origer, 53, was successfully treated for melanoma using genetic engineering.

Plans are under way to expand the experiment with efforts to treat breast and lung cancer, said Dr. Steven Rosenberg, the National Cancer Institute researcher who directed the melanoma experiment.

By inserting a gene that enabled the white cells to recognize melanoma, the NCI scientists caused the cells, known as lymphocytes, to swarm through the bodies of two men, finding cancer cells and destroying them.

The two patients have been cancer-free for nearly two years, even though the cancer had metastasized throughout their bodies when the treatments were begun.

The experiment represents a personal victory for Rosenberg, a surgeon and biophysicist who has spent nearly two decades at NCI searching for a way to turn the human immune system against cancer.

If the success rate can be increased and applied to other types of cancer, the use of genetically modified lymphocytes would be an entirely new approach to treating the disease.

"This may be the most important paper I have ever written," said Rosenberg, whose team describes the new treatment today in the journal Science.


He said lymphocytes -- sometimes called "killer cells" because they attach themselves to diseased cells and destroy them -- normally do not attack cancer because the body does not program them to recognize cancer cells.

His team implanted a gene that does recognize melanoma into white cells taken from the patients' own blood, grew billions of the genetically changed cells in a laboratory, then reinjected them into the patients.

"These results represent the first time gene therapy has been used successfully to treat cancer," said Dr. Elias Zerhouni, director of NCI's parent agency, the National Institutes of Health.

"Moreover, we hope it will be applicable not only to melanoma but also for a broad range of common cancers, such as breast and lung cancer."

Rosenberg said he is awaiting Food and Drug Administration approval to attempt the treatment on lung and breast cancer patients with lymphocytes that have been changed to recognize those forms of cancer.

The melanoma experiment caused Mark Origer, 53, the postmaster of Watertown, Mass., to become one of NCI's most ardent supporters.

"I am so thankful that place is there and that there are brilliant minds working on these problems," Origer, one of the two patients in whom the treatment succeeded, said in a telephone interview.

He said his frightening struggle with melanoma began in 1999, when his wife noticed a small, dark mole between his shoulder blades.

After the mole was removed, a biopsy showed it contained melanoma cells. Despite repeated operations and chemotherapy treatments, the cancer continued to spread, he said.

"It's an emotional roller coaster," he said. "You fight it and you feel you've done all you can do and sometimes you get your hopes up and think you've finally defeated it. And then it shows you who's boss."

Origer said doctors finally told him they could not stop the cancer's spread.

"They told me there are some treatments that would buy me a year, but that's all," he said.

He said he and his wife "went to the Internet" in search of clinical trials and learned of the NCI research.

After he was accepted to participate in Rosenberg's research, blood was drawn from his arm and the white cells were separated out.

Rosenberg said in an interview that some melanoma patients produce white cells that are capable of recognizing telltale "knobs" on the cancer cells.

When these cells encounter a melanoma cell, they "clomp onto (the knob) and inject molecules called perforins that cause the cell to burst open," he said.

However, most melanoma victims and all the victims of other forms of cancer do not produce white cells that can recognize cancer cells, Rosenberg said.

After his lab located the gene that allows some lymphocytes to recognize and home in on melanomas, they spliced it into a retrovirus. Lymphocytes from Origer and the other 16 melanoma patients were then infected with the retrovirus.

Billions of the altered lymphocytes were grown in the laboratory, and were then injected back into the patients from which they came.

For Origer and the other patient for whom the treatment succeeded, it was only a few months before scans showed cancers beginning to shrink.

Finally, they disappeared altogether.

"I was sitting in Dr. Rosenberg's office, waiting to hear the results, and he walked in with a smile on his face," Origer recalled.

Rosenberg said he believes the reason the treatment failed in the other 15 patients was because the implanted gene did not cause their cells to readily recognize melanoma.

"I now have genes that are from 10 to 100 times more effective at finding the melanoma marker," he said.

He said he also has genes that can cause lymphocytes to recognize breast cancer, lung cancer and many other tumors.

The video was so moving watching beautiful Barbaro who continues to show all of us never give up the fight. In his honor I am going to be a partial sponser of a retired race horse. The wonderful horse has given us back our humanity and reminds us that animals light the torch in our souls. I also remember Lost in the Fog in my prayers and hope his chemo is successful.

I haven't forgotten you today my sweet boy, just a little late. I keep praying for your hoof to heal completely, it takes time!!But maybe now that there has been some growth,it will start growing more rapidly! Like any damaged tissue, once it is clear of infection and has started to grow and maintain a healthy area the growing process takes hold.I surely pray for you to be back to normal and happy. Lots of love and positive energy. Always in my prayers! Love & Hugs, Vicki, Good night Linda!!

###Hi Vicki,hope your week going well,I know you are super busy,thats' how you stay so young,I know!!!

###MARY,ALEX changed to a different website HOST and the site has had a few 'times of turbulence' where either it was 'changing over' or 'exceeded bandwidth'...during those times you cannot post (altho I noticed this page is up sometimes when the 'front page' is down)...Alex says it should bed fixed.


God bless BARBARO,Fogs' people,Mike R,Mary L,Erin and family....the MO. horses that survived...

Mr Aleo and Mr Gilchrist had another FOG look-alike win with Smokey Stover....Jo in UK says Smokey the exact color of the Fog...blaze too,good race,beautiful horse....


Love the geese (minus one) that flew over during the Tribute,the flower-horshoe from the Barbaro Fans was nice.May God comfort the Fogs' people..


Rosemary reports: "As I was looking for the photo of Round Pond pausing in a field of tall grass, a photo by Lydia A.Williams, I happened across her photos of Barbaro. They are part of her racing gallery. Some pictures are on TWR, but there are a few that are so touching of him looking out over his paddock fence at horses coming to Fair Hill. If you haven't seen these they are well worth a visit.

So happy and thankful to hear another good report and see that the doctors are in such good spirits!!Hooray for Dr. R and his fabulous team!! Bobby,have they started planning that Barbaro garden?? I guess it's not really that time of year,but I have a feeling you're well on your way home!!Isn't life good! You are our Hero!!I brought a bunch of green top carrots to one of our mounted patrol ladies for her horse"Indy". She said how much he loved them, if she only knew, not half as much as you!!She asked me all kinds of questions about how you're doing. Everyone loves you! Hugs and lots of love, Vicki

Posted by: Vicki Atz at October 4, 2006 5:00 AM

Barbaro,we are soooo thankful to hear good news....

Thanks Vicki for the carrot story..that is really wonderful!!

Great to hear about Alexs' visit to Mike R...and to hear about his weekend at home.

Much to pray about in the news..
And the Mo. horse accident horses need our prayers.

LOVING YOU BARBARO!!!!
XXXOOO PRAYING FOR YOU EVERY DAY!!!!

Posted by: Linda A at October 4, 2006 7:38 AM

Bless you Bobby, you've brought so many people together. Everyone is working so hard on behalf of the treatment of our lovely horses. You are responsible for much of the action and attention to these causes, you make us proud! We believe!! Thank you Barbaro for your beauty, spirit and Heart!!Please keep those Mo. horses healthy and safe!For sure they escaped one fate, let's let them have a good life.These stories continue to break my heart, when will some people come to their senses.Until later, Love, Vicki, Hi Linda, I know you share this heartbreak. take care.

Posted by: Vicki Atz at October 5, 2006 3:22 AM

YES BARBARO!! ..what an anniversary present this is!!.....to have Susan E. buy one of the accident horses......in the name of fans of Barbaro.. sweet horse named Cloud (picture posted in forum--

This is the day of the great Secretariats' death....


Marys' post said
"Thanks everyone. I didn't know today was the anniversary of Secretariat's passing. I will NEVER forget that Belmont. What a horse. I agree it is so coincidental that Barbaro has his first race today and that The Fog has Big Red's blood line and we all fell in love with him."

Posted by: Mary at October 5, 2006 2:24 AM

WOW!!

Vicki,thanks for your sweet post,the pics of those accident horses are heartbreaking,am praying,and hope to support,if we do it the right way it will be 'mathing funds' ....however from the forum I find it not exactly clear how to do this,will study more tomorrow..


Wow,BARBARO...THE GREAT among the greats!
WE LOVE AND HUG YOU,HAPPY ONE YEAR,and what a year dearie,WE ARE SO PROUD OF YOU!!

Hi Bobby, what a nice interview with your Mom today. Aren't you the luckiest to have her bring such special treats of grass to you! I know she can't wait till you can go home, I know, you too!! Those Mo. Horses really have my heart! All of them need love and attention. Can you believe they were on there way to a horrible fate to be complicated by this accident? You know those that survived really should have a new lease on life!! They deserve so much. I'm thinking of Monte, he's 20yrs. young, now you know he has a past, and must have really loved someone once, What's wrong with our society!!It frustrates the heck out of me. Oh, if I could only win the Lotto!! I would have a Haven for these misplaced babies!It has to get better. Thanks for listening Bobby, you don't even know how much you're helping those less fortunate. Until tomorrow, Sleep tight, Love&Hugs, Vicki, Linda, I always enjoy what you have to say.

Posted by: Vicki Atz at October 6, 2006 3:26 AM

I must correct the horse name, it's "Mortie" not Monty. Shame on me! I can't get him out of my mind. goodnight all, Love, Vicki

Posted by: Vicki Atz at October 6, 2006 5:20 AM

HI BARBARO...what a wonderful Mother Mrs J you have.....bringing you grass twice a day! Fresh picked for you!!!!!
Oh your people! dear Barbaro!!..You have such good people and so many friends...You are loved!!!! xxxoooo

Vicki,nice note today,thanks,I enjoy your posts,your kindness and energy,hope all is well with you...yes..MORTIE is so sad looking,what a sweetie!!....those dear horses......God bless all the horse rescue places...

Listened to a sweet sad story of the passing of Precisionist...and there were several good posts today....such a beautiful and dear horse..will email,hoping you can listen to the NPR story link.
That OLD FRIENDS farm is fantastic...

Sorry my link to CLOUD does not seem to go to him....he is so sweet too..let me try to re-find it...http://forums.delphiforums.com/timwoolley/messages?msg=1144.443

I pray they all pull through this horrible ordeal. Maybe, there not posted yet.I'll go to the discussion room later, see if I can find out how they're doing. Bobby, enjoy your special goodies, and be a good boy! Love, Vicki, Have a good weekend Linda, how's the weather??

Posted by: Vicki Atz at October 6, 2006 8:33 PM

Sending you love and hugs.....always in my prayers,dearie...xxxooo


Mike R,Erin,Mary L,the pets that are hurting,the thin horses,Salvation,Benny,the MO horses,and dear Mortie..God bless you..


Vicki I tried to find info and emailed it to you,someone said all the Mo horses are sponsored..Stephanie from Miracle horse is on her way to the auction in oregon with all that Barbaro money to buy horses and save them. There is new rescue for the 'thin horses' ..they say don't look at that page it is terrible,but they are gently feeding them,working with them..it is so sad...


BARBARO,you are just the greatest sport!!! of all!
We love you,we remember Fog,Precisionist,Gallant Secret,Taylors' Special,St Liam,and all the ones that broke down on the track or just in odd circumstances.

BARBARO!!!!!! YOU ARE IT!!!

I wish you knew the impact you've had on helping others less fortunate, you would be so proud, but maybe you do, you are super special! Our friend Linda has been very helpful,thanks again Linda!I hope you enjoy your weekend, I'd say happy, but with all this sad news,I just feel so at a loss, so sad. But I know things will be looking up for all these horses in trouble, just need to keep the faith, and dig in our pockets! Thank you Barbaro for what you're doing. Love& Hugs, Vicki

PRAYING for you Barbaro!!! and MORTIE,dear Mortie,we hope to hear good news on you and all your fellow travelers and the thin horses......just think if Mortie hadn't been in the accident.....where would he be.....that accident saved horses! and the others died humanely more than they would have....

Thanks for publishing that article....I am glad that others in the industry are taking notice and saying something about it.

Today I am having a particuarly hard time with this.....with Piney. I am feeling very down and sad. It's one of those days that I just feel like too much has been lost. It is my day to grieve very hard. I know that I will pick up the torch and carry on eventually in the name of all those who have fallen.

We have to. We must.

Barbaro we release any outer concerns and turn within to the peace and love of God's wisdom. God's wisdom enfolds Barbaro, Gretchen and any decision makers right now. God is their source of inspiration. They lovingly open to God's divine guidance, and have the courage and the faith to follow the wisdom of their hearts. Any confusion is only temporary. Divine Order is always present in Barbaro's life. There is a right and perfect home for Barbaro in God's Divine Mind. One that is safe, comfortable and attractive - where he is able to be with those that love him. That place is being revealed to Gretchen now. God's love guides Barbaro to his right and perfect home.

I love you Barbaro.

Thanks for the welcome
Christmas Day falls on December 25. It is preceded by Christmas Eve on December 24, and in some countries is followed by Boxing Day on December 26. Some Eastern Orthodox Churches celebrate Christmas on January 7, which corresponds to December 25 on the Julian calendar. December 25 as a birthdate for Jesus is merely traditional, and is not thought to be his actual date of birth.Good luck!

Well, how did I miss this? Open for comments all along? Other than the odd inclusion of the pharmacy, it feels really good to see some familiar "faces." Are we expecting the main board to re-open today?

Hi Linda, Mary S. and Vicki and Snickers:) I see Vicki and Snickers all the time on the UPENN message board:) I "stumbled" on this site a few days ago, and though it takes a long time to page to bottom, I am truly enjoying it! Isn't it SO wonderful the UPENN site is back up so we can write our "love notes" everyday? It makes me feel really close to that Handsome Sweetheart of mine...sigh! You are all so special and nice! We are pretty lucky to be FOB's, huh? He is just such an awesome spirit! I obviously love him to pieces! Do any of you know what Alex means in today's update about "pulling" his mane to shorten it? How does that work? I am not a horse person, except I love Barbaro :) I don't know the "lingo"....hope you are all well and have a great evening!

Posted by: Lynne at January 4, 2007 12:26 AM

BARBARO....sorry that Alex didn't get to take you outside for grazing and walking....and look what he did to your mane?!!

Lynne,Hi,I don't know what that is either,some kind of combing? that evens it up ?..but since he didn't get to finish he is 'uneven'...I guess..

This is the media page,which has always been 'up'..but only a few people have posted here..this is how I met Vicki,I felt sorry for the people who were not on the front page...

Wonderful article on Jan 3rd updates..Going the Distance...The Year of Barbaro!

Love to BARBARO
Love to All,good night Mary S.,Lynne,Vicki and Snickers!

Hi Linda, I asked a friend of mine who has horses, she said they don't cut manes, they "pull" a few hairs at a time out to even/shorten...seems it might be uncomfortable while happening, but I guess not. She said she uses No More Tangles on her horses and just lets the manes be long. I will check on the article you mentioned later today, thanks for sharing:) Have a great day, check in later on.

Hi Handsome Sweetheart:) Hope you have a great day today, too! You are always in our hearts/minds and so never far from us! We all love you so very much....bad hair days or good hair days, it doesn't matter to us. You are quite PERFECT in EVERY way to us!!!!

Love You, Lynne - Your friend in CA

Posted by: Lynne at January 4, 2007 4:26 PM

Hi Lynne, Linda!!! A UPENN buddie!!How about the FAQ site?? Or go to the Forum with the question. I'm sure someone has that answer.Sorry Barbaro, I didn't mean to ignore you "GOOD MORNING!"hope you have a good day, Snickers and I wish you a happy life! I'll be back later, on the run. Kisses and ear tickles! Love, Vicki & Snickers

Posted by: linda a oregon at January 5, 2007 2:31 AM

Hi Handsome Sweetheart:) You might already be sleeping now, since it will be 10:15p there, I'll be very quiet....I would lie down w/you and give your ears a nice "scratch" and stroke your beautiful nose:) and give it kisses, too! We could just "talk" some..and you could tell me all about everything and everywhere you have been :)
I hope you sleep very well tonight....have nice dreams of large green pastures, warm sunny days, the lady horses you will "woo"...and maybe a visit from your friend, Mocha? CU Tomorrow xxoo
Love You, Lynne - Your Friend in CA P.S. give your sweet mama a nuzzle for me :)She is such a nice lady!

Hi Linda and Vicki and Snickers:) Is Snickers a dog? I have always thought so...I have a wonderful dog named Murphy:) He is 10 years old now. He is a mix of Terrier,Labrador,Chow,Basenji and ??? He was found in a dumpster :-0 and taken to the Stanislaus County Humane Society for adoption. My daughter brought him home to me:) I didn't want a dog...but said I would keep him a few days....yea right! How many days in TEN years, girls? I love him sooo much! He sleeps with me, sometimes under the covers...and I think his toy basket has more toys than my two children had at any given time! LOL...Well, I hope you two are fine...cu later or tomorrow :)

Posted by: Lynne at January 5, 2007 3:23 AM

Good day Barbaro!!! I got a your bracelet today, I will think of you ever time I look at it!! And our sweet Opie too!!I hope you have a fabulous weekend, and the weather allows you to get out and enjoy the fresh air and graze as long as you want!!Love you sweet baby, Love & hugs, Vicki& Snickers......Hi there Linda and Lynn. Well isn't Murphy just a special friend ! What a good life he has, poor little darling starting off that way. yes, Snickers is a dog, don't tell her that!! I adopted her from a shelter, she's a lond haired dachshund mix, just as sweet as her name. Miss Linda is a "cat lady", but he could come around !! HAHA!! Hope you all enjoy your day and weekend!!

Well Handsome Sweetheart:) I just got home a little bit ago....long day! I read TWR update and a little snippit of your MaMa's...what's this???!!! Your MaMa came w/Lael grass to see you and, what???!!! She got busy oogling over what??? Baby Pigmy Goats....now don't get your panties in a wad, Barbaro....you know your MaMa loves you BEST...and pigmy goats ARE awfully cute...'specially when just so new! Of COURSE you know your people...:) Your Mom is a VERY SPECIAL lady in your life.... huh! I know :) I see there are quite a number of articles, excerpts to read and can't WAIT to get to them later on tonight or tomorrow...probably tonight though, as I can't hardly STAND it...gotta read about YOU:) I hope you had a good day today and you sleep very well tonight...sweet dreams and I'll check in on you tomorrow, o.k.? Love you...xoxoxoxo Lynne - Your friend in CA

Hi Vicki and Linda:) Snickers sounds very cute! Long Hair Doxies are very cute! No....shhhhh, I won't mention the "doggie" word around her! I know how they can be....sometimes when the weather is VERY cold and I tuck Murphy in, I tell him some doggies have to sleep outside and some don't even have dog houses! He just gives me that "oh jeeze, I have to listen to this story again" look, as he is asking me to please tuck the covers up a little closer to his chin don't you know!!! LOL He is SO pampered....I should be so LUCKY!!! :/ Linda, we do also have a kitty, his name is Seymoure....he is a cute Gray Tabby...he "found" me about two months ago...he and Murphy play together...actually it is kind of nice for Murph to have a playmate...Seymoure is pretty full of it and drives my daughter and I a little "nutso" sometimes, but we do love him! It is just not quite the same as a dog though ... well my new friends....I hope you are having a nice evening and will have a nice weekend, too! It is pretty COLD here in No. CA....I don't think we got out of the 40's today, or it sure didn't feel like it! Very cold North wind all day! Brrrr!
CU Later.....Lynne

Posted by: Lynne at January 6, 2007 1:50 AM

BARBARO..what a big day for you......your Mom and fresh grass....and goats.......but sorry you did not get out to walk....I loved your walking video....You are sooo beautiful in that video..I have a lovely still pic from that walk..where you look like you are looking right at me!!


Hi Lynne,Murphey and Seymoure...what a story about Murphey..my word..Lynne..that is awesome....
Yes..Don't say the 'd' word around Snickers...haha....Snickers' pic is on the tim woolley forum under Light a Candle for Opie..(that is where we 'hang out'..with Heather,Diane,Suze,the Nancys',sometimes Cheryl Jones,and Jeanette..)


Howdy dear Vicki,hope you had a good day,and didn't 'overexert'...


Lynne hope your weather settles...Diane says southern cal..is bad too...huge winds.....scary...

BARBARO,I am excited about your new foot Doc and the cast..I read up on it..and listened to him talking about you...He sounds very wise....I know you will find a home where-ever you go...because we all love and pray for you ...every day..

Love to BARBARO!!
Vigil for you tomorrow dear...4pm pacific time...

Hi Linda & Vicki and Snickers:) Thanks for pointing me to Snickers' picture, Linda...she is such a Little Princess in/around the pretty flowers! What a pretty little dog!

It is still quite cold here...ice on the roads some places this a.m. :/ But, it is January, I guess! Hope you two/three:) are fine and enjoying your weekend....I think I'll just stick to this "back page"...awhile, I feel more comfortable here.

Glad to read our Barbaro had a good night last night and is still "holding his own". See you a little later on.

Lynne-CA

Posted by: Lynne at January 6, 2007 8:53 PM

Lynne, what happened to sunny, warm Ca!! You ought to try to jump over the forum, under "Candles for Opie" and then pick and choose other threads to visit...I promise you it's easy and you'll see a lot of familiar people there! Thanks for the compliment on Snickers!! She is a doxy mix, which explains her smaller nose not as severe!! But, I've had 2 other pure breed ones!! I'm sure you could tell a lot of stories about Murphy and Seymore!! As A child I had a dog and cat, boy what fun they were! But cats are cats and dogs are "PEOPLE"!! HA-HA!! How about that one Linda??......Oh Barbaro, apologies are in order for not addressing you 1st!! How are you my dear sweetie??? I still haven't heard about Mocha? Is she still hanging around? Yes, she's a beautiful cow! You know how much you'll be missed when your Mom moves you!Do you think you can still have email?? I hope so. It must be time to get tucked in for the evening, so sleep tight.I'll be back tomorrow, love & hugs vicki & Snickers...Hello, Linda, Lynne!!! MaryS where are you? BTW

Posted by: Vicki Atz at January 7, 2007 12:12 AM

BARBARO..so happy the sun came out and you got out to graze......yes,where is Mocha? And what about the goats that Mrs J was visiting? I hope you get to see the goats..and maybe some kitties...My kitties love my baby Barbaro Beanie,I gently pet them with your 'baby mane' and they love that.

Hi Lynne...glad you enjoy this 'back page' but you should try the forum a bit,it takes awhile to get used to it..but like Vicki says there is so much info there....we would love to have you visit 'our little home' under GENERAL (topic),Thread is called "Light a Candle for Opie"....

Vicki I see Mary S is posting her prayers on the front page now.

Dogs may be people but cats 'have staff'...right?? HAHA Vicki..

BARBARO,I hope the night nurses are gently stroking your beautiful mane...I'm sending love and praying for you! Dr Morrison sounds like a very good doctor,I hope you two will 'be good friends' like you are with Dr Dean!

Love to BARBARO

Good Morning Handsome Sweetheart:) I just read TWR and your sweet MaMa gave "ACN" report....love those "ACN's"!! I don't know about your weather there today, hope you can get o'side a little,'cause I know you like that lots!!!

It is supposed to be a little above average here temp. wise later today, but this a.m., again....my car is an ice cube, so dilly-dallying a little before having to leave...there are just a couple of spots where icy on road, but bad spots to hit ice....so I am a "weenie" big B! Not BRAVE AND WONDERFUL like you:) I do hope you have a very good day today, I wonder if Alex has been able to get back to your mane yet? If not, someone will be making sure you are looking good...of course you ALWAYS look good to us..You know, Love is Blind :) I'll see you tomorrow my darling man....at UPENN Message Board:) xoxoxoxoxo

Hi Linda and Vicki and Snickers....yes Linda, cats certainly DO have "staff" :/ I can attest to that, as I am in charge of the litter box and my poor bathroom floor has become somewhat of a "beach"....every morning I'm in there with the trusty vacuum cleaner...vac'ing up the sand :/ Seymoure is quite animated in his covered box, he really gets into it.....:-0 LOL I hope you both are enjoying your Sunday....when I get home, I plan to do the same:) I also will "brave" my way onto the chat/discussion board this evening, I will look for one of you and do a reply? What is a "thread"? Just joining into a discussion of one thing or another? I'm not so sure? CUL8R...Lynne B's friend from CA :)

Posted by: Lynne at January 7, 2007 5:04 PM

Happy Sunday, my sweet boy!! Barbaro, did you see all the candles that lit up for you last night?So many fans, from so many countries! You are loved all over the world! But, I love you BEST!! I hope your day is filled lots of your favorite things!...Did you know you had a new friend here?? Hi Lynn!! You need to just go browse the disscussion and chat room.Threads are different topics,under different categories. Under general, go to Lit a Candle for Opie, that's we hang out mostly. You'll need to log in. Trial and error, you can't mess up too bad, just keep trying, and you'll get the hang of it! Linda's great at all the in's and out's, she's flown me in on several occasions! We share all kinds of stories about our pets. Lately it's been a support group for those with ailing pets...that's how Opie's group came about,you really should hop over there and share your knowledge of your furry babies! I'll look for your post later. Hi Linda, I knew I'd get a comment about, Dogs are People!!HAHA!! Amen, about "STAFF"!!That's a good one. Thanks for all the info.....I'll be in touch! .....Love & Hugs, Vicki & Snickers....Grow Hoof Grow!

Posted by: Vicki Atz at January 7, 2007 8:21 PM

BARBARO....way to go..outside again!!! And glad you got the 'perfect Lael grass' ......ohhhhh.....all the news swirling around you,yet you keep your ears up,your eyes are bright....oh we love you so much!!
We are all praying for your hoof to grow,and for Dr M to take good care of you. I hope you two will bond as a good team..I can just see that you are a 'team with Dr Dean'..love to see you two together on your good videos!

Great to see you LYNNE over at the forum...on Opies' 'thread' (meaning a weaving together of our messages to each other)....it is quite daunting at first...but it is 'set up' in quite a unique way..and when you 'get the gest of it'..it just seems to 'fall into place' and become a part of your life...our little 'get together room'. There is so much info available...You can begin to scan the 'different thread titles'...and kind of get a 'feel for it'..

Vicki,I hope you have a great sleep tonight..sweet dreams,Snickers too....and hope a very good day tomorrow....

Hello dear Barbaro. I know you felt us tonight. Pretty cool huh? So many love you so much Barbaro - and love is healing, so let it flow through you and support you. I am with you always. I love you.

Hi guys - came to the "back page" for some quiet. Hope everyone is doing OK. Lots of fear swirling around the forum and comments - we must stay focused and positive. As always, feels good back here. Everyone have a good sleep - you too my dear horse.

Love, Light and Protection for Barbaro

Posted by: Mary S at January 10, 2007 5:36 AM

I SO agree with you Mary S.! MUCH more quiet here...I wrote B a love note this a.m., then checked TWR, then UPENN...they are keeping his pain level down, which is good...will relieve his stress...and he will be happier:) We just all need to pray very hard now so maybe this will pass, and that Handsome Sweetheart can get back on the road to recovery:)I am staying right here for awhile, not going to the forum! Barbaro is in GOOD hands where he is right NOW! I pray the White Light surrounds him, God holds him very close, gives him comfort and happiness until this cisis passes....

Hey you Big Boss Handsome Sweetheart of a Horse...:) We are ALL "tearsy" this day, Sweetie...We are ALL very sorry for your setback..and are praying very hard for it to be short-lived and you to be feeling much better very soon and hopefully you can go outside again in awhile. I was very scared earlier today, but read a little bit and Dr. Dean has said all along there will be setbacks...(doesn't mean we have to "like" them) so I am thinking this is just that, a 'setback'...nothing more. I feel badly for all your "family" at NBC, and of course, your sweet MaMa and Dad...So many people are lighting candles for you:) the web site is on overload! You have over 10,000 candles going :) I will try again later on to light some more for you. Just hang in there Barbaro, use your sling, you know just how to make it work right for you...I just hate this is happening to you, but we are all right here to help you through...sleep really well tonight and I'll cu tomorrow...XXXXOOOOO

Hi there Handsome Sweetheart:) No UPENN Message Board today...but it's o.k., I know they must be very busy with all the news people there!

Oh Barbaro, how we LOVE you:)
I will check back in later this evening...be good boy...rest...heal...

Hi Vicki and Linda....gosh I'm awfully glad I met you and glad too, that you are here...it's nice to have friends to go through this with! Thanks for all your kind/loving words, thoughts.

Hi Vicki, Linda and Snickers and Mary S....Love your beautiful prayers, Mary. Hope you are all well and had good day today. The daytime temps are coming up a little...the nights too, I guess, though still awfully cold...Somehow Murphy got scared about something last night...Seymoure was tearing through the house around 10:30, so Murphy decided to leave the bed and go see what was up....I woke up at 3A...what's THIS???? No dog next to me???? Put the light on, and found him on the sofa in living room...he is getting older and can't jump up on the bed when I am on my side, not enough room on the other side, he has to take a running start these days....so, Oh! was he ever glad to see me...:) His little ears were SO cold, we turn the heat to 60 degrees at nightime.. oh yes!!!! Believe me, he DID snuggle under that down comforter with his MaMa:)and then MaMa slept better tooooooo with her doggie next to her:) See you all tomorrow.......someone on the front page posted, "what a difference a week makes"....."ain't it the TRUTH?"

Posted by: Lynne at January 20, 2007 3:40 AM

Sweet Barbaro, I know know you're snoozing, so sweet dreams!....we need to check on Lynne!! So any idea what spooked Seymore and Murphy???You're in CA, right? You don't think they sense earth movement, do you?? When my mom lived in San Francisco she was very sensitive to that, I know the native Ca. are more blase', HAHA! But dogs, and horses are very sensitive.....I hope you all sleep sound tonight! Love, Vicki

Posted by: Vicki Atz at January 20, 2007 5:32 AM

BARBARO,dearie dear,you are the 'moment of the year'....I totally agree...Sending you lots of love and hugs...and the candles are burning for you....

A tragedy, certainly but YOU'RE MISSING THE POINT! I am amazed by how there can be such an outpouring for this horse... yet so many forgotten souls who were euthanized... or canned... prior to Barbaro - had he not had a bunch of $$$ behind his breeding fees, nothing would ever have been done to save him. Walk through a race training facility - look at all the legs of the two year olds... ask the trainers, why not wait until the horse is 4 or 5 years old until the plates in the legs are fused? Why??? $$$'s but I can guarantee you one thing - if they waited to race, they would be more selective about the animals they raised and raced and there would be many more sound horses because of it. Ask your vet! SAVE A HORSE - WAIT TO RACE!!!

Posted by: tamara at January 30, 2007 2:20 AM

Well my Handsome Sweetheart...I wrote just a week ago happy, and said what a difference a week makes? It was so a week ago, and sadly, it is still so.

I know you are in Heaven now, I know you are running free and happy. Someone on the 'front page' said you are racing with Secretariat:) and you already have your wings and can even fly:) I am happy for you! Heaven is a better place today because you got there:)

I will always hold you in my heart, Bobby..I am so grateful for being able to 'meet' you last May!
I got my Kentucky Derby 132 Book on Friday, I wrote you about how it's all about YOU:) I am so proud of you Bobby Jackson.......You will forever be my Handsome Sweetheart...the Big Boss Horse with Attitude....my Super Star...have a wonderful time in Heaven with all the animals and someday I'll get to meet you, and really be able to give you 'kisses on yer nose'....And hopefully not too much time will pass and once again, you'll be making my heart sing.

Love, Lynne-Your Friend (forever) in CA

Sleep well my sweet beauty.I miss you all ready,we've been on a journey with you. It should not have ended this way, but God decided he wanted you with him, so we must go on without you. You are the bright spot in our hearts.Such a short life, such greatness, so much love. Goodbye my magnificent Barbaro, run and play in green pastures full of beautiful flowers and plenty of lovely mares. Remember how much you are loved.You will never be forgotten, and your spirit lives on, it's as large and bright as your strength and courage. goodnight Bobby, love & hugs, vicki and Snickers

BARBARO,

You are now with God above and you are healed.

You are running in a beautiful green meadow and playing happily...

You will forever be in our hearts and thank you for showing mankind that there is still courage, bravery and compassion in this world...

Barbaro - beautiful boy inside and out. You were taken far too early. Rest in peace.

Good, interesting site! My this - free slot.

Posted by: Free Slot at January 30, 2007 2:14 PM

Barbaro - no pretense, no posturing, no politics.

He ran because he loved to, and died because he tried to do his best.....

For him, a broken leg.

For the rest of us, broken hearts.

Well Barbaro, here I am again today.Such an empty feeling knowing you're not here. I know you're at peace and healthy, running and playing with all the angels. I miss you. Your legend has begun,the memory of you and your spirit will go on forever.Love and hugs to you, Vicki and Snickers

Posted by: Vicki Atz at January 30, 2007 8:08 PM

Well I'd like to say some things about Barbaro.I never knew Barbaro but sience the accident I always looked on the internet to see how he was doing.When my dad called me last night and told me the news I felt like crying.I'm making a huge memory poster of him right now and putting it over by my breyer of him in my room.If you are the offical owner of him then you are in my prayers and I will always remember that he was a great legand and his name will never be forgotten.

Barbaro meant so much to me. To me, there just isn't enough said or memorabilia of him. I could talk about him all day. We should never forget him and, don't laugh, but I wrote a poem for him. It's kind of what I would say to him if I was with him when he died...
My Last Minute With Barbaro
Barbaro,
Even now, wih you melting away from this world, you are my object of hope. I hold your gallant head in my lap and peer into your dark brown eyes. I rub your soft, beautiful neck. Even in death, you are great. You are fantastic, epic, even miraculous. When I first saw you, you were a two year old. No one knew who you were, just another improbable Derby hopeful. I don't know what it was in that moment that I saw you galloping down the turf, but I liked it. In that moment, I knew you would win every race there was to win. No one would even come close. When the Run for the Roses finally came, you were my favorite. I would jump up and down on my couch chanting, "Let's go Barbaro!" And to this day, I don't ever remember seeing something so beautiful as the sight of your flame-colored coat, completely unsplattered by mud, leading the other horses into the stretch. Your chest, powering your legs back and forth. Your head, reaching for the finish. Your nostrils drinking the wind like water. Your eyes on nothing but the prize. I call that moment, where it seems that every muscle in your body is flexed, "The Jubilee." For the next two weeks, I went around screaming to anyone who would listen that you would win everything. The first Triple Crown winner since Affirmed. The first undefeated Triple Crown winner since Seattle Slew. To me, you were invincible. On Preakness Saturday, I was too excied. I would have the privelidge of seeing the Great Horse run once again. I think everyone that day was taken aback by how great you were. The track was yours and you srode over it like the champion you were. You had never looked beter. You were so eager to go that everyone else wanted to go run beside you. That is how I remember you, those three moments in time where your beauty, strength, and greatness surpassed that of all others. I don't remember when you got hurt when you were taken into surgery. I remember your impecible flawlessness. In those months you were in the hospital, I knew you would get better. You were too great not too. When the harsh reality of the situation finally sank in, I realized it was selfish of me to want to keep you here. You can't keep a wild bird caged, nor can an untamed spirit be broken. You were not meant to to dwell here on Earth. You were meant to walk the clouds, among angels. We on Earth were graced with your brief presence. I can only imagine you entrance into Heaven. Secretariat, Man O' War, Seattle Slew, Seabiscuit, and all the other great horses of racing all looking over their shoulders at you saying, "C'mon, you ready to run or what?" The thunder in every storm will be your hoofbeats. You'll be set free from the mortal flaws and be allowed to run forever. You'll be in a better place now. Don't regret leaving us behind. It's batter this way. Thank you for being with us at all. You are the greatest, You are invincible. Good bye, Barbaro. We love you. Let your hooves fly forever.
