Barbaro was a famous American thoroughbred racehorse known for his impressive performances on the racetrack. Born on April 29, 2003, he gained national attention after winning the 2006 Kentucky Derby by a remarkable six and a half lengths. His victory made him a favorite among horse racing fans. Tragically, Barbaro suffered a severe injury during the Preakness Stakes just two weeks later, which led to a long and public battle for recovery. Despite extensive medical treatment, he ultimately had to be euthanized on January 29, 2007. His story highlighted the challenges of horse racing and the bond between horses and their caretakers.
