What Kind of Hit Will Racing Take If Barbaro Dies?

Nothing whatsover will happen.

Thoroughbred race horses have been breaking down ever since Flying Childers was a weanling.

Everyone in the general public with a modicum of intelligence understands that race horses are fragile creatures ... just take a look at those big powerful bodies and pencil-thin legs.

There's always a desire to be part of something historic ... but this ain't it. If you want to be a part of history ... take a look at what's happening between muslim fanatics and the civilized world.

Barbaro's life or death ... while of particular interest to those of us who populate this forum ... just isn't that important to the rest of the world. It'll be a one-day story ... then it'll be gone.
