Deadspin
We're just a couple weeks away from the year anniversary of the day Barbaro galloped off this mortal coil, and no one has decided yet what to do with his ashes. It's a big concern. Really.
There's intense debate about where his ashes will be buried, but worry not, young fretters: They're close to a decision. We don't know where the ashes have been for the last year, or what has taken them so long. We assume they will be placed just outside Churchill Downs, while an eternal flame burns.
Decision On Barbaro's Ashes Close [Bloodhorse]
Comments
Is he going to be buried with his SHOTY trophy?
Ashes? What a waste of meat.
@twoeightnine: My sentiments exactly.
Only i thought glue.
Dee Mirch wants to snort them.
Snort them fuckers!
/keef
I imagine Dee Mirich will stand a hill above the grave with a rocket launcher, Raiders of the Lost Ark.
"Unless you give me those ashes, I'll send them back to God! AFFIRMED!"
Keith Richards' ears just perked up.
Dee Mirich has a family plot.
The Chinese dog food manufacturers wish to file an appeal.
Dee Mirich has been carrying a mirror, a razor blade, and a straw in her purse for the better part of a year.
This may be her lucky day.
"and no one has <s>decided</s> affirmed yet what to do with his ashes."
Dee'd.
Bloodhorse? Why did they name a horse website after my level paladin?
@Weed Against Speed: @ArkansasFred: @thesepretzels: Dammit, Vinny! Type faster next time!
Enter the ashes in a $3,000 claiming race at Turfway. Someone will buy.
Can they make the ashes into some sort of delicious cheezy snack food to go with the Barbaro cheeto?
Boy, if Suss is making HTML mistakes, you know this is a touching story.
Does Will still have the cheeto?
That's one big urn YO
...are close to announcing where the ashes of the winner of the 2006 Kentucky Derby Presented by Yum! Brands (gr. I) will be buried.
That would be the same Yum! Brands that owns Taco Bell, KFC and Long John Silvers. So, yeah....
They should stud them and create a breed of super-ash.
@Gourmet Spud: Hail to the king?
@The Legend of Vincent Tremblay: Its not what you think...those are the exact tools needed to bring Barbaro back to life.
/McGyver
Why was Sarah Jessica Parker in the hospital?
@Spectacular Sam:
At this point he could be buried IN his SHOTY Trophy...
...much like many want to do with Isiah.
Bloodhorse?
WE'RE SCATTERING THE FUCKING ASHES! JUST BECAUSE WE'RE BEREAVED DOESN'T MAKE US SAPS!!!!!!!
I think they should shoot the ashes out of a cannon at the Preakness Stakes to signal the start of the race.
TSW's day just got a little worse.
They should commit Barbaro's final mortal remains to the bosom of the Pacific Ocean, which he loved so well.
/Good night, sweet prince.
So...the comments are freaking out.
By "ashes" they mean "meat" and by "scatter" they mean "can".
I didn't know Chris Mullin was Barbaro's vet.
Barbaro is a saint.
I won a $2 trifecta box on that KY derby. $11,800.
On a serious note, anyone who gives a shit where they scatter the ashes of a F*CKING HORSE should be backhanded.
That is all.
@GreatOdensRaven:
It is our most modestly priced receptacle.
@katolesce:
I must make it clear that Steppenwolfer storming from behind was my real hero. He was like 50-1 or some shit.
@VTBen: +1
@Kid Canada: Fuck it, dude. Let's go bowling.
Nah, Dee will just powder her face with the ashes instead of makeup each morning and start referring to herself as "Beautiful Bobby".

Just in case they need help
@katolesce: Nicely done. Get me drunk sometime and I'll tell you about the time I lost by a nose on the sixth race of a pick six. The carryover pool was over $3 million.
@GreatOdensRaven: Shut the fuck up Donny.
@GreatOdensRaven:
Barbaro was a good bowler.
And a good man.
@Tracy Ham and Eggs: I am the walrus?
I once saw Barbaro lift 300 lbs. with his teeth, what a horse! Affirmed
I always assumed they'd toss St. Peter out of his hole and give it to Barbaro. Has that plan changed?
Barbaro's previously unknown last words: "Napoleon is always right."
@Tuffy: I heard they were tearing down the Vietnam Veterans Memorial for his final resting place.
@Kid Canada: Is there a Ralph's around here?
@Weed Against Speed: I heard they were tearing down Vietnam for his final resting place.

Moses the Crow caws in lament.
Anyone else up for some grave robbing?

@racistmascot_inc: Why, is Liz Taylor single again?
@racistmascot_inc: Just ask Klaus.
