Greatness and Goodness: Barbaro and his Legacy

Barbaro and his Legacy also includes 164 photographs in a photo essay that retells the entire story. ESPN's Jeannine Edwards wrote the foreword. Co-owner, Gretchen Jackson, wrote the afterword.In the past quarter century, no other racehorse has captured the imagination of both the racing and non-racing public more than 2006 Kentucky Derby winner Barbaro. The dream of a Triple Crown came to an end when he broke down in the Preakness. In his first book, longtime horseman and New York Times contributor Alex Brown covers not only the life and times of this great racehorse, but also his legacy. Although Barbaro ultimately did not survive, he left a legacy that no Triple Crown winner could have matched. Brown's work belongs in every horse fan's personal library, as Barbaro's reach goes beyond the world of racing.
