Default HBO - Barbaro

What you guys think?

I thought it was really well done and that Gretchen Jackson is really well spoken.

Even got my mom to watch it and she is as anti-horse racing as they come

I thought the NBC special on Derby Night was much better.

Don't waste time with On Demand. It's on HBO proper again at various times. Friday at 4:30, Saturday 10am, Sunday 5:30pm and those are just the first 3 listings...there are several over the next 2 weeks at least per TVGuide.com/listings if you want to check. There might be more after that but they only do 2 weeks.

I thought it was extremely well done.....I thought the one NBC did was much more emotional, (maybe because it was on first) but there were a lot of nice angles on this one that NBC didn't have...I thought the race footage was much better on HBO and I also thought the bits with the six guys from Pimlico was really good.....Except for the ending, you can't go wrong with any story about this horse and connections. I'll say one thing, Gretchen Jackson is tough as nails..
