![]() I'm surprised (and pleased) at the amount of news attention Barbaro is still getting, and the boost it's given to racing news in general. Barbaro has made several end-of-year "best of" or "most notable" lists. My local paper, which rarely covers non-TC and non-BC racing had a little blurb this morning about Jazil making his first start since the Belmont. I can't imagine them running news like that a year ago.
I don't know if any of this translates to more fans and/or bettors, but it's nice to see "our" sport getting some attention. --Dunbar
