Text of the Jacksons' letter:

To Barbaro's extended family:

We were still trying to believe Barbaro had won the Kentucky Derby when his career-ending injury occurred. Now our focus is on his recovery and providing him with quality of life.

Looking for the good that has come out of this tragedy, we have found great consolation from the vast number of Barbaro fans and have witnessed a powerful interest in all activities that support the welfare of the horse.

It's impossible to express our thankfulness to each and every one who has contributed through prayers, flowers, letters, gifts and signs. We are grateful to all of you for your support.

Gretchen and Roy Jackson
