Barbaro, the Kentucky Derby winner that captured the hearts of 9-year-old girls and… well, I’m not sure who else, but a whole lot of people seemed to love that damn horse– was euthanized today at the tender age of 3 1/2. Since I’m a normal guy who’s never been emotionally attached to a horse, I’m probably not the best person to eulogize Barbaro on the Best Week Ever blog. Instead, I’ll leave it to the random horse lover who made this touching YouTube tribute a couple of days ago. It says it all. Listen to your heart people… listen to your heart.
For more Barbaro memories, head over to Deadspin. They’ve been waiting for this day for a while.
