Churchill Downs said Tuesday they'd be "honored" if Barbaro were buried in a garden there. Ain't it Grand?

Question

Officials at the Kentucky Derby Museum, located on the Churchill Downs grounds in Louisville, Ky., said Tuesday they'd be "honored" if Barbaro were buried in a garden along with four other Derby winners.
"We've expressed to them how honored we'd be to have Barbaro here," Lynn Ashton, executive director of the museum, said. "We feel like we're bringing horses back to be honored."

The grave sites of Derby winners Sunny's Halo (1983), Carry Back (1961), Swaps (1955) and Brokers Tip (1933) are located outside on the museum grounds.

If the Jackson's decide to bury Barbaro there for sure I will going to Kentucky this year just to visit his memorial, for me Barbaro was and will always be an inspiration.

Answer 1

Answer 2

Barbaro will be imortalized at a place of his victory, how befitting, but Barbaro was also victorious in ALL the world.
ever hear of this? its from something called Memorial Service for a Horse and while I am not bible centered or jesus centered its is still beautiful when thinking of that inspirational soul named Barbaro
" I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I
have kept the faith. Henceforth there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, will award to me on that Day, and not only to me but also to all who have loved his appearing".
