Shamefully I am a meat eater. Very cool that you have the discipline to stay away from it. Also good to hear you've rescued your dogs and cats. I'm not your average Fan of Barbaro (FOB). Most are older women, and very few men. Barbaro first caught my eye in the Kentucky Derby, when he pulled away and won by 6 lengths. When he got injured, and fought to survive for those 8 months, I felt a certain bond with him. I struggle with really bad knee arthritis, and was really athletic in my younger years. So when I saw Barbaro go from being an elite athlete to stuggling with injury and pain, I related to that.
Blue and green are my favorite colors, so I have no problem identifying myself as an FOB from time to time  .
Take Care!

Hey Kent,
No problem, it's obvious that you're a tad obsessed with this horse. From what I've read is quite an athlete, but again, no more than those Nascar fans who have the #3 plastered all over everything they own/wear.
Since you eat meat, can I ask you, Did you ever try Horse? If not, give it a try, it's lean and tasty, and in my opinion, it's no more "bad" to eat a horse than a cow. (I don't mean a racing horse as I read they are drug junkies, but a pasture horse).
Went out to eat last night, and everyone with me was eatin' and drinkin'. I had my bean burrito and no booze.......still on both wagons!
And I did notice when I was at the track that the group wearing the matching outfits was mostly all women, and most pretty large (not that there's anything wrong with that.....I've been known to be a chubby chaser from time to time, but I also had a moped, if you know the joke)
I'm going to the dog track this weekend to watch a few races, might even do some wagering. I'll put $2 down on horse #6 in the 12th race in honor of your Barbarro.
Keep on p'shopping!
