Re: [RC] Barbaro - steelsidedown

LOL only you Bruce!!

Honestly, my read on the race...
That horse was pumped, he liked his job and KNEW he was awesome...he understood 
the game... look at the attitude displayed..the big fast footsteps to get to 
the starting gate...the difficulty handling a horse that couldn't wait to go... 
Ever ridden one of those?  If so, you know what I mean ... its completely mind 
over matter, pure DESIRE .... I don't think its something you can teach or 
train, sometimes you get lucky enough for those horses to find you.... If 
you're lucky you can protect them from straining themselves too soon.  

While we're being totally honest, there are many many horses with the same 
conformation, fitness, body type, and ability as Barboro, or Jayel Super, or 
Heraldic -- the horse must have the DESIRE to win and a careful rider to take 
them there. 

His medical care is in the hands of competant professionals, its not my place 
to judge them.
