A new superstar appeared on the American sports landscape in the
spring of 2006. Barbaro, a three-year-old racehorse, won the
Kentucky Derby by the largest margin of victory in sixty years,
stirring talk of a possible Triple Crown. But in the opening yards
of the Preakness Stakes two weeks later, the magnificent animal
suffered a catastrophic leg injury that ended his un-defeated
career and left him fighting for his life.
One of the world's top jockeys, Edgar Prado rode Barbaro to
glory and then stood beside him for months as the horse valiantly
struggled to survive. My Guy Barbaro is the true story of the dream
that carried Prado from an impoverished childhood in Lima, Peru, to
the winner's circles of the world's greatest racetracks--and is the
heartwarming account of his love for a beautiful, talented,
irreplaceable teammate.
