Barbaro
The remains of Barbaro, the horse that won the Kentucky Derby but then had a leg injury that eventually claimed his life, will be buried at Churchill Downs.

Roy and Gretchen Jackson, who owned Barbaro, marked the first anniversary of the horse’s death with an announcement Tuesday that Barbaro’s ashes would be buried outside Churchill Downs’ Gate One. A statue of Barbaro is to be erected at the site.

Barbaro will be the first Kentucky Derby winner to be buried on the grounds at Churchill Downs. Four previous winners — Sunny’s Halo, Carry Back, Swaps and Broker’s Tip — are interred at the Kentucky Derby Museum, which is adjacent to the track.

Being placed outside the gate means fans will be able to visit the memorial without having to go inside the museum or the track itself. It will be accessible at all times.
