The story of Barbaro:It was a new years eve party back in 1986 when Herpai and Jorgosz met. They had a blast… As a matter of fact they had so much fun that they decided to form a band. After the drunkennes was gone the plan was still alive and the band was coming together quickly. In February of '87 in the basement of the Lágymányos Community Centre the "ancient" Barbaro started rehearsing. Sándor Cziranku - guitar, Sándor Herpai - drums, Miklós Lengyelfi II. - bass, Ökrös Csaba - violin and Tzortzoglou Jorgosz - lead vocal and derbuca. The Band first live gig took place at the Diósgyõr Folk Festival in the summer of '87. The Band's unusual sound was a huge success. The first formation of the group didn't live too long. First Ökrös, then Lengyelfi said good bye to Barbaro. Th

We all know who Barbaro is. I attribute this to the insane media attention pointed at the race horse after it was hurt during its race. While Barbaro had an excellent shot at winning the Triple Crown before his injury, he is just a horse. If you pay attention to trivial stories in the news, [...]

As the Kentucky Derby approaches, we anticipate that all the sports pages and Internet sites will feature nothing but retrospectives of the greatest horse ever to walk on four legs: Barbaro. After all, no "athlete" captured America's heart like that guy. Excuse me while I vomit (again).From the Post:There will be a $1 million bonus at the Kentucky Derby if the first-place horse wins by more than 6½ lengths - the margin of Barbaro's victory last year.The bonus would be divided Saturday among the winning trainer, jockey, owner and a charity, with each receiving 25 percent, it was announced Monday. The designated charity is the Barbaro Memorial Fund.It's a fund that Barbaro set up with his people right after the injury. Because he had so much foresight and intelligence."It's certainly creative, it's certainly fun and it has something for the horsemen, which we always want to embrace," Churchill Downs president and chief executive Robert Evans said at a news conference. "What's real

With all the racing sites happily reporting that Barbaro’s
yearling brother now has a name, Nicanor, after another
foxhound in the same painting from which Barbaro’s name
was taken, I thought I would take a look at what has
happens to the younger siblings of other great racehorses.

Kennett Square, PA (ABSP) - Associated BS PressBarbaro - the horse that captured America's hopes, dreams, and occasional night terrors - has been euthanized after suffering yet another setback in its prolonged recovery from a broken leg. Barbaro burst onto the scene as a young horse, trying to make a difference in this crazy world. He didn't just win the Kentucky Derby; he won all of our hearts. His dramatic win at the Derby and terrible injury at the Preakness thrust him into the national spotlight, proving once and for all that Americans care more about injured horses than genocide in Darfur or famine and totalitarianism in North Korea. Sadly, though, his journey ended on Monday as he was put down and then sent off to the Elmer's company for safekeeping.With the death of Barbaro, David Caruso, star of the popular CSI:Miami show on the geezer network, has now become the most likely next candidate for euthanasia. Doctors around the world are already lining up for the opportunity to
