PREAKNESS WEEK: BARBARO AND ROY JACKSON
WITH THE 2ND LEG OF RACING THIS WEEK, I THOUGHT THIS WOULD BE A GOOD FIT.

IN 2006, BARBARO WON THE KENTUCKY DERBY.  HE WAS THE FAVORITE TO WIN THE PREAKNESS, THEN TRAGEDY STRUCK THE HORSE.  

ABOVE IS A POSTCARD CARD SIGNED BY ROY JACKSON THE OWNER OF BARBARO.  IN 2007, HE APPEARED AT YORK SPORTS NIGHT.  IN ADDITION, ROY SIGNED THE PROGRAM OF THIS EVENT.  A SIDE NOTE, ROY AT ONE TIME OWNED THE YORK WHITE ROSES MINOR LEAGUE BASEBALL TEAM.  ROY IS A FAN OF BOTH HORSE RACING & BASEBALL.....
