Barbaro won six straight races and was on his way to winning the triple crown. We haven't seen a horse run like him since Seattle Slew. There was a lot invested in him and people were excited about it. It takes decades to find a horse like that, with that much talent... it is a loss, no matter how you look at it - animal or not.

Not many animals do exhibit self awareness but that doesn't mean they're any less important. Horses are actually pretty smart.

"Barbaro's final resting place could be just a few hundred yards from the scene of his greatest triumph in the Kentucky Derby."
