Sharon Crumb and Alex Brown, are planning a Celebration of Barbaro's Life at Delaware Park on April 29, 2007. This event is open to anyone who would like to honor Barbaro on his fourth birthday at the racetrack where Barbaro's racing career started when he broke his maiden. The Fans of Barbaro welcome all to attend and become part of Barbaro's legacy.
Fans of Barbaro are a group of people from around the world who have been captivated by the racehorse Barbaro, through his racing career and subsequent struggle for survival. They gathered at www.timwoolleyracing.com and were kept abreast of Barbaro's condition, by Alex Brown, exercise rider out of Fair Hill in Maryland. During this period they became more aware of horse racing and horse welfare issues. They are active in getting the American Horse Slaughter Prevention Act passed by congress that will ban the transportation and slaughter of horses to be used for foreign food consumption.
As a group they continue to work on Barbaro's legacy and to date they have rescued more than 400 horses from horse slaughter and raised money for a variety of horse related causes including Laminitis research and the Barbaro Fund.
According to Sharon Crumb who is organizing the event, there are more than 300 people who signed up for the barbecue in the Grove at Delaware Park and more are anticipated to sign up by April 15, 2007. There are events going on throughout our weekend in Delaware.
Our goal is to have more than 500 people in attendance for the Celebration of Barbaro's Life on April 29 at Delaware Park and have rescued more than 500 horses at that time.
We look forward to meeting and planning for the future of Barbaro's legacy.
