BARBARO[/glow]
On one amazing day
You were born, a gorgeous healthy bright bay
It was clear to all who knew you
That the world would be shocked when you ran your first debut
Your stride was flawless
And it seemed as if racing to you was lawless
Winning is what you loved to do
When you ran, you flew
Some people had their doubts
Even some of the professional scouts
In one word the perfect athlete
And most knew that with you no horse could compete
Then came the run for the roses
When you were running it almost looked as if you were thinking about poses
The win was so commanding
No one could believe you were truly this outstanding
We looked to the next race with unlimited anticipation
Behind you a majority of this red white and blue nation
The preakness was just the second race
All knew no horse would keep up with your pace
But on that day something happen so trite
From the beginning, a false start, just didnt seem right
As you broke from the gate running, what you loved to do,
Every pair of eyes was watching the super horse, you...
As you hobbled on three legs dying to run with the rest
Everyones hearts stopped in their chest
Tears welled up we saw the pain
As we saw Edgar Prado calm you and hold on to your reins
Days, weeks, and months you fought
If you only knew all the lessons you taught
You were sent to us to show us your gift
And the hopes & dreams around the world you did lift
We thank you for reminding us what is important in life
Amidst all of your struggles and strife
You are a true champion and that is a fact
What you did on the racetrack was no one time act
You touched every horses lovers heart
Waiting for updates was tearing us apart
Our prayers are with the connections of the gorgeous red bay
Rest in peace Barbaro we will all see you again someday
