holy crap, bit of white over the same nostril....

he'll get as much press as the green monkey when he steps on the track for the first time.

wonder what they name him? the one due any day should be 'third time's a charm'.

call this guy 'atlas'--bound to carry a lot of weight on his shoulders. lot of people are going to be hoping this guy does well.

I'd call him Formerville. Fits the 3 syllable rule for the derby. LOL

Here's the NYTimes article on Barbaro's Baby Brother- a different (and awfully cute) picture of him with it:

He is definately a cutie. He looks too sweet to be a runner, but then again he is still a baby.

After reading the article, I could not resist and search on that painting the Jackson's mentioned. They say, one the hounds on the painting was named "Barabro" and the brother will take on the name of another hound from it.

I know nothing about paintings so maybe somebody who does knows or can find out.

I found this: http://www.equisearch.com/art_graphics/eqpater3121/
could also be this one: http://store.encore-editions.com/danh4art95spart.html

I am pretty sure that is the painting. This Pater guy has more hunting paintings I found, but none of them have six hounds in it except for this one.

The only thing is I can't find the names of the dogs on it. If we would see one of them named Barbaro, then we can confirm the brother's name with the remaining 5 others.

Sorry, just really curious to find out the names and find out what to expect what the new little guy's name will be.

they said on Larry king the other night that the brothers would probably be named after some of the other foxhounds in the painting where Barbaro's name came from...smart move on their part not saying what those names are...guarantee if they had, someone would have reserved them with the JC for themselves

OK, I'll be the first. This is my Derby horse!
