In another aspect of Barbaro's legacy, racing enthusiasts and fans of the colt are making donations to equine retirement programs in his memory.
Barbaro's Legacy Guaranteed to Last
Barbaro's brilliant racing career and eight-month fight for survival won't soon be forgotten. There's already great interest in just how good Barbaro's kid brother can be. Barbaro funds, aimed at equine research and preventing deadly laminitis, have been started, and there's talk of a museum.
Barbaro fund to raise money for equine health research
