Barbaro!



I have to admit... My daughter made 'Makers Mark' Mint Juleps..... They work Gooooood... Even my Lab Retriever loves them (spoon fed the bitch).... This was a great race, even if you aren't a horse person.... That horse could run! And that jockey knew how to ride! Never...NEVER touched that horse with the whip..... GREAT horse... and GREAT jockey.... If Barbaro has a chance in the Triple Crown... I'd toss a bet just for horse class and jockey skill..... Really.

Anyone have any idea how many HP is put out on average by the winner in the race?

I would guess at least 25.

Karl

i'd say 1 hp

Edgar Prado is a excellent rider,too bad because i had all the closers in that race,too little time to make up too much ground
