No, I didn't see it. Perhaps that would have given me a different perspective.
I should have known I was asking the question on the wrong thread. Obviously a lot of people care deeply for a horse they never met.
And that's fine.

I've never met Barbaro personally, but I did meet a larger number of the horses in his extended pedigree over the last few decades. For me, it's personal.
Imagine your a professional runner, and you shatter your femur, knee, tibia, fibula, ankle, and foot....and you still keep running. The jockey stopped the horse.
