He was bred to be a champion. He was born to run. Everyone said he would be one of the greatest racehorses of all time. Everyone said he would take a place in history next to Triple Crown winners like the fabled Secretariat.
Then, in one sickening, heart-stopping moment, everything changed. Suddenly he was no longer racing for glory; he was fighting for his life. And the horse bred to be a champion became much more.
He became a symbol of hope and courage for an entire nation.

Descriere

"Barbaro. In racing circles he was being compared to some of the greatest races horses of all time--Seattle Slew, Secretariat. Could this be it? Is this the year and the horse to win the Triple Crown? If any horse could, it seemed that it would be Barbaro. On May 6, 2006, Barbaro met his destiny head on. At the 132nd ""Run for the Roses"" at Churchill Downs, he drew away for one of the most dramatic wins in Kentucky Derby history. The stage was set for history to be made.But two weeks later, at the running of the Preakness, Barbaro's fate shifted dramatically as he suffered an injury shortly after the start. History would have to wait. Now Barbaro was in a race to save his life.Shelly Mickle brings us the story of Barbaro, the horse who won the Kentucky Derby and was favored to win the Triple Crown, but broke his leg during the Preakness, ending his racing career and nearly his life. Much like Seabiscuit during the Depression, Barbaro has given the country something to love and root for. This nonfiction book will include Barbaro's birth, training, expectations, wins, his disastrous injury, and his life after the Preakness. There will also be facts about horse's anatomy and biology, horse husbandry, a glossary, 16 pages of pictures, and a poster!"
