| Introduction | I 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. |
