Barbaro to dominate Kentucky Derby from the grave
DAYS AWAY. That's what separate us from yet another 10-15 minute special about Barbaro.
Yep, I'm betting those guys on the booth will have one when it's time for the 2007 Kentucky Derby. Which makes you wonder if the 2006 Derby champ is really gone. Heck, he's still dominating the horse racing world, with a number of horse racing enthusiasts still talking about him like crazy. Hell, I'm sure he'll be dominating the 2007 Kentucky Derby from the grave too.
Yeah, horses like Curlin, Nobiz Like Shobiz, Circular Quay and Scat Daddy will be on display on May 5. But the 2007 Kentucky Derby will STILL be all about the 2006 champion, Barbaro.
''Barbaro's memory hovers above horse racing in the near term,'' said David Michaels, who will direct NBC's coverage of the 2007 Kentucky Derby. ''But he becomes a little more distant history when the winning horse crosses the finish line.''
Many people await the 2007 winner of the first race towards the elusive Triple Crown. For all ya'll not familiar about this Triple Crown bullshit, it's winning all THREE races which the 2007 Kentucky Derby will kick off on May 5.
Next is the Preakness Stakes, then the Belmont Stakes. If a horse, say... Nobiz Like Shobiz, wins all three, then he will be the new Triple Crown champion. However, it's not as easy as you think.
Barbaro won the 2006 Kentucky Derby and looked dominant enough to go all the way to win the Holy Grail of horse racing. Unfortunately, Barbaro was stopped by serious knee injuries that took him away from the horse racing track for good.
On May 5, horse racing and Barbaro fans alike will be waiting for the new Derby champion, the one who will succeed Barbaro. Once it happens, you think they will leave Barbaro alone now?
Who will succeed Barbaro and win the 2007 Kentucky Derby? Bodog has the early favorites.
