]]> <![CDATA[Barbaro To Live On (Upside Down) In Central Park]]> @Jefferson Short Bus:

i believe it is based on the positioning of the jockey.

jockey has 1 arm up - horse died of natural causes
jockey has 2 arms up - horse died of race injuries but not at race
jockey is using his whip - horse died during race
jockey is snorting blow off of horses ass - horse was killed by mob

Kid Canada

]]> <![CDATA[Barbaro To Live On (Upside Down) In Central Park]]> Since he died as a result of a race-related injury, but not during the race itself, shouldn't only three hooves be up in the air?

Jefferson Short Bus

]]> <![CDATA[Barbaro To Live On (Upside Down) In Central Park]]> This monument will only be complete if they also erect another statue to commemorate his long time equine lover, Sara Jessica Parker.

ClownForPound

]]> <![CDATA[Barbaro To Live On (Upside Down) In Central Park]]> "This has nothing to do with us, nothing whatsoever," Barbaro's co-owner, Gretchen Jackson, said of the memorial. "This is not the kind of thing you'd really want to see.

"It's just startling that someone wants to remember Barbaro like that. But it doesn't bother me. I have a great picture of Barbaro in my mind. I know how everyone will really remember him."

I believe the Barbaro people will be protesting this memorial. Even better!

The Harriet Tubman Underground Railroad Disaster

]]> <![CDATA[Barbaro To Live On (Upside Down) In Central Park]]> Either Barbaro was a gelding or the sculptor didn't have the ball (gales of laughter) to make the poor bastard anatomically correct.

Frankly either way it just keeps getting worse for this fucking horse. You'd think euthanization would have been the final insult...

sir_pantsalot

]]> <![CDATA[Barbaro To Live On (Upside Down) In Central Park]]> More info from the article.

Roy and Gretchen Jackson, who campaigned 2006 Kentucky Derby winner Barbaro, say they are not involved..."We have absolutely nothing to do with it."

...the Barbaro statue is part of an effort to draw attention to the horse protection issue.

...include a petition urging Congress to "pass a law that would arm consumers with the truth of the perils of horse racing by requiring racetracks to disclose race-related injury and fatality statistics."

Dee Mirich is involved in this. I would be money.

Scout

]]> <![CDATA[Barbaro To Live On (Upside Down) In Central Park]]> @Rob Iracane: I believe he's saving money by using the same mold he did for the Brittany sculpture.
