I'd like him to be buried at the museum that the Jacksons are trying to make in Pennsylvania. It would be a tribute to him just like if he was buried at Churchill Downs or Kentucky Horse Park, but he'd be near his home, and people could visit him without having to intrude at Lael Farms. I think that would be really great for everyone: Barbaro's memory, the Jacksons, and the fans. And it will be really great for the area because it's not just a Barbaro museum, but a tribute to all the horses around, so people visiting Barbaro will also be able to learn about and eventually also visit area horses like Afleet Alex!
I feel like Kentucky horse park would both honor and take a little away from Barbaro... I mean it would be great for him to be with Man O War, but how could Barbaro live up to that? So I feel like Barbaro would kinda be second best.
As for at Churchill Downs... I'm not sure how I feel. Barbaro won the Derby by the fastest time since 73... the 2nd fastest time in history. So that was his crowning achievement and that's the racing moment for why he'll be remembered as a champion... but at the same time I saw which horses were already buried there, and I don't know any of them... so if Barbaro's grouped with them he might just be grouped as one of the Derby winners and not remembered to the extent he deserves.
If he's at Lael Farms, he would be home, but it would be awkward for the fans to go visit him because the farm will still have training and business continuing.
So I think the museum will be the best. Barbaro's the reason that they're even making the museum, so he'll be special even if there's other horses around because it's kinda his museum. And we can see him without disturbing the Jacksons. But it's close enough that the Jacksons can visit him whenever they want.

I would like to see him buried at the Kentucky Horse Park. They get thousands of visitors yearly, and this would be accessible to the most people.
I wouldn't blame The Jackson's if they bury him at Lael farms, but that means less people will be able to pay their respects. And I think the Jackson's know that, they mentioned a museum as a possibility that has yet to be built in Pa. That would be cool too as that would honor all the Pa. breds.

I think Barbaro should be buried at the home of his owners with a memorial somewhere where the public can go to remember him. I think nowadays with the kinds of people we have about who want to cause trouble that it would be better to have his remains in a safe place and a memorial elsewhere. I think that his owners are the best people to keep his remains, they obviously loved him very much. I think that if it were me I would want to keep my pets remains with me.

I would like to see him buried either at his home, so he could be home once again with the people who loved him most. Or I would like to see him buried at Churchill Downs, where he won the Kentucky Derby, and where people could visit his gravesite and pay respects to him. I think either way is a good place for him to be.

Either at the Kentucky Horse Park or at Gulfstream Park. Unfortunately neither venue offered to do it.
More than likely he will be buried at Lael Farm.
