There were no celebratory cheers following that race - the sportsbook took on a pretty sombre mood. He was one fast horse...unlike that good-for-nothing bum, Sweetnorthernsaint!
Here's a good article on Barbaro: http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/200...bit/index.html |
I was in TI's at the time, you could hear a pin drop for about 5 minutes afterwards. Quite sad, makes me think twice about the value of horse racing.
