So what is up with that hot slut of the day sight? It’s quite stupid and disgusting. Does not belong on this thread.[/QUOTE]
gubbyz - scroll up a little at that website and see the picture. It’s Barbaro! 
I kinda thought the same thing until I scrolled up and saw Bobby!
I thought cults went out in the 60’s when I was a kid. So I missed the opportunity, I was simply too young, and now I belong to the best one of all!!! YEAH!
Glad to hear he’s comfy…Also, War Admiral, My horse is the barn clown and some of the antics sound very familiar!!! gotta love 'em…
Go Bobby Go!
[B]New Bolton’s Thursday Update~
[/B]Update 1348: Update today from New Bolton: Barbaro continues to gradually improve:
Kentucky Derby winner Barbaro continues to gradually improve. “Barbaro’s comfort level is improving steadily, and we are gradually tapering off his pain medication,” said Dr. Dean W. Richardson, Chief of Surgery. “His vital signs are stable, and his appetite is good.”
Barbaro remains in the Intensive Care Unit of Penn’s George D. Widener Hospital at New Bolton Center.
The next update will be posted on Wednesday, January 24, unless there is a significant change in Barbaro’s condition.
From Kennett Florist ~
Afternoon all!
It’s been flurrying here on and off… it’s a good day to snuggle down in the hay and have sweet dreams of green pastures. Baskets of carrots, apples, pears and staff goodies delivered today. The Big Boss has been wanting pears and apples.
Regardless of what you hear,
ALL is WELL at NBC!
WE BELIEVE!!
Rach at KF
Update 1349: I just spoke to Tom, who visited Barbaro this afternoon. He (Tom) groomed him (Barbaro) and was positive in his report. Barbaro finished up his feed while Tom was grooming him, and Tom also fed him some carrots and apples.
Thanks, Alex.
Friday Morning ~
Thaks Alex~
Update 1350: The Eclipse awards are monday: Barbaro in mix for top award. The Barbaro team has already won one award, and we also know the story has generated two media awards (Mike Jensen and Dick Jerardi). I predict there will be two more awards for the Barbaro team on the night. The article does provide the outcome of a poll for moment of the year:
As further proof of just how much Barbaro has captivated the American public, the top-three vote-getters for the 2006 NTRA Moment of the Year were all Barbaro-related.
His recovery received 29% of the voting at ntra.com, the NTRA’s website. Barbaro’s Kentucky Derby victory, by the biggest margin in nearly 60 years, was second with 27%, and the Preakness Stakes, in which Bernardini ran to an impressive victory after Barbaro’s injury, was third with 22%.
I am told there will be a story on Barbaro today on NPR on their Day-to-Day program. At least one Fan of Barbaro was interviewed for this story.
Thanks, Alex ~
Update 1352: Another comfortable night last night (thursday night) for Barbaro. Mrs. Jackson just called (1:20 pm) as she was leaving from visiting Barbaro. She brought his grass which he ate! update 1:25 pm, friday, january 19
Per Alex ~
Update 1353: Here is the NPR story that ran this afternoon on Day to Day: Loving Barbaro: A Racehorse and His Fans. Very cool story. This site is mentioned, Mike Rea was almost mentioned directly! I also wanted to note that this site has now received approximately 100,000 comments since May. The discussion boards have eclipsed 60,000 messages! True testament that Barbaro continues to be moment of the year.
Thanks Alex:
Update 1354: I just spoke to Tom, who visited Barbaro this afternoon and gave him a good grooming. Tom was upbeat in his assessment of Barbaro.
Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful!! Thanks, VB (and Alex, and everyone!)
Saturday Morning~
The Barbaro update will be later today.
Go Bobby Go!
Always good to hear he is feeling good!
Thanks to VB and Alex!
Thanks, Alex
Update 1356: Another comfortable night last night for Barbaro (friday night). Mrs. Jackson just called (noon) after her morning visit.

I heard this yesterday, and it was very well done. The piece was as much about his supporters as Barbaro himself. Glad I caught it.
I checked out this article and was redirected to YouTube and saw a clip (one of hundreds) that I had never seen before. http://youtube.com/watch?v=kmgf-ocQFbc
I knew the horse was undefeated but I had no idea how handily he had won all of his previous races except for one. This video showed every one of his races and I have to say I was completely blown away by the ease he seemed to win. I agree that perhaps the Kentucky Derby alone may not make him horse of the year but combined with all the other factors including this practially “untouchable” quality he seemed to have, it seems like he should have very few challengers in this category.
Again…just WOW
Update 1358: Just spoke to Tom, who visited Barbaro this afternoon and gave him a good grooming. Barbaro remains comfortable. I had dinner with Tom and his wife last night. Not only did I get well fed, I listened to some classic race stories … and learned that Tom’s dad rode Assault to his Triple Crown triumphs! Thanks, Alex.
