Positive signs for Barbaro
Kentucky Derby winner walks around,
takes 1st steps on road to recovery
WINDERMERE — I'm a horse guy, have been for as long as I can remember. Since my grandparents took me to old Randall Park — before Edward DeBartolo turned it into a mall — and since my parents took me to Northfield Park on Monday nights so they could try to win a Cadillac and I could pick up discarded tickets. And surely since I worked at Northfield, as publicity director and later as a mutuel clerk.
So it warms my heart to read that Barbaro, the Kentucky Derby winner, is making progress in his fight to survive a shattered leg.

Photo finish: A Ken Carpenterism — There's never been a bad movie made about a horse. My favorite? Phar Lap
