But we humans are aware that we're animals, I have doubts that a horse is really aware of himself in anything more than a physical sense; unless, of course, that horse is Mr. Ed.

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.
