About me

GenderMale
LocationBristol, Connecticut, United States
IntroductionI grew up in Connecticut and Vermont and currently call Connecticut my home. My father’s farm in Vermont is where my love for horses all started at a very young age. Having different animals on the farm, including horses, the day he came home with a OTTB called Comanche was the day my fascination with anything and everything to do with horses started. Comanche would be my loyal companion for many years. I started to attend different race tracks in New England and the East coast when I was a teenager and continue to this day. In 2005, a beautiful, talented and charismatic colt caught my eye - yes, along came Barbaro. My connection to Barbaro started when I saw him win the Laurel Futurity in November of 2005. When I saw him win that race, I knew I had just witnessed perfection in motion. When I attended Barbaro’s Derby in 2006, it was a thrill I will never forget, and I remember every moment like it happened yesterday. While I try to follow almost every race I possibly can around the country, I am particularly fascinated with Barbaro’s family and their amazing connections.
