Is Barbaro The Best? Boy I Guess!
 |
How big was the day? One person came from South Africa to celebrate Barbaro! The News Journal has a photo of Barbaro co-owner Gretchen Jackson "kneeling as if in prayer," which must mean she's... I dunno. Why would she pantomime a prayer?
The best anecdote of the day, though, comes from the Inquirer's Mike Jensen, who probably thought his days of covering Barbaro were over -- but, no, he's going to be writing about this damn horse for the rest of his life.
The passion at Delaware Park was real. The most graphic example: One woman had a tattoo of Barbaro across her back.
Can all the Barbaro fans get this tattoo? 'Cuz then I'd be able to make sure any girl I meet in a bar isn't a Barbaro fan. "Excuse me, before we begin talking, can I see your back?"

Mike Jensen is possibly not the only one who will be writing about this damn horse for the rest of his life. ;-)
