DVD Reviews of Barbaro - A Nation's Horse

DVD Review: I WAS HOPING THIS WAS THE HBO SPECIAL
Summary: 4 Stars

THIS IS NOT THE HBO DOCUMENTARY....IT HAS MUCH OF THE SAME INFORMATION AND MAIN PEOPLE FEATURED IN THE HBO VERSION...THE JACKSONS ARE SPECIAL PEOPLE AS WAS BARBARO'S TRAINER AND HIS DOCTOR AT THE NEW BOLTON CENTER IN PA. HE TRIED SO HARD AND WAS ALMOST SUCCESSFUL IN SAVING BARBARO...I CRY EVERY TIME I WATCH THIS AND WISH I HADNT WATCHED THE ACTUAL RACE WHEN THIS HAPPENED.. JOCKEY EDGAR PRADO HELD BARBARO FROM RUNNING ANYMORE AND DOING MUCH MORE DAMAGE TO HIS ALREADY BADLY SHATTERED LEG.. OWNERS GRETCHEN AND ROY JACKSON ARE THE KINDEST AND MOST HUMANE AND LOVING PEOPLE IVE EVER SEEN ....BARBARO WAS TRUELY A CHAMPION...WHAT A HORSE!

DVD Review: Barbaro
Summary: 1 Stars

The DVD I received from Amazon was of the poorest quality I have ever received, entirely dissatisfied with this product.

DVD Review: Forever's Champion
Summary: 5 Stars

In 2007, a pair of television documentaries aired concerning the brilliant career and courageous battle for life by Kentucky Derby winner Barbaro.

This production by NBC Sports is narrated by Bob Costas. The documentary is split into seven sections and has bonus footage. It features full coverage of the Kentucky Derby and the Preakness Stakes & Barbaro's five races that sparked his run for Triple Crown immortality.

The interviews are with the individuals who are most associated with the champion; trainer Michael Matz, jockey Edgar Prado, owners Roy and Gretchen Jackson and veterinarian Dr. Dean Richardson.

The nearly 13 minutes that closes the documentary - The Recovery and Barbaro's Legacy - clearly demonstrates why this story will continue to resonate amongst people who hardly follow Thoroughbred racing. The inclusion of letters to Barbaro is especially touching.

This is a wonderful tribute. Barbaro will remain forever's champion due to his will to live and the trust he placed in others, on and off the track.

DVD Review: the nations horse
Summary: 5 Stars

Barbaro was a courageous horse. He was a champion right from the beginning of his birth, and all the owners knew it. He had that special winning vibe and appearance that people knew would make him a legendary horse, and a Kentucky Derby winner.

I want to say something else. People always talk about Barbaro having the opportunity to be the first triple crown winner in 20-something years, but not being able to accomplish that because of his unfortunate leg injury.

Let me tell you something- more people are aware of the Kentucky Derby, which Barbaro won, and to me, that's more important than some extraordinary triple crown achievement. It was wrong for my local news to put most of their attention on the triple crown aspect of Barbaro in the horse racing event, instead of the fact he won a really good race in the Kentucky Derby. THAT is what we will remember Barbaro for, and we'll also remember him for his amazing ability to run past all the other horses on the track without breaking a sweat. A truly talented animal.

What proved he was unlike other horses was when he realized he was injured, and instead of jumping around and being hard to control (like other horses) he just stood perfectly still and let the doctors examine his injured body. Barbaro was almost human the way he acted.

Get this DVD to see what the big deal was about with this amazing horse.

DVD Review: Barbaro DVD
Summary: 3 Stars

NBC sports documentary on Barbaro from interviews with his trainer, jockey, owners and vet. Factual and somewhat dry given the emotions generated by the tragedy of this beautiful racehorse.
