Barbaro Enjoying the Great Outdoors Since Dr. Dean is enjoying Barbaro's delightful antics and more fresh air and sunshine, we though it time to celebrate with some humor:
HUMOR UPDATE 3 & 4 (August 26 & 27, 2006):
From WISCONSIN's Barbaro Ambassador: I WAS SO AMUSED BY THE (LOST IN THE FOG/WOODS) THING THAT I WOKE UP THIS MORNING AND STILL WAS CHUCKLING ABOUT IT.
THEN I LOGGED ON TO THE TIM WOOLLEY SITE AND TYPED IN MY GOOD MORNING TO BARBARO. WITH THAT SAID, AS I GOT TO THE PART WHERE I WAS GOING TO TYPE IN "LITF'S" NAME, I TYPED IN,
"BARBARO, COULD YOU PLEASE SAY A PRAYER FOR LOTS IN THE FOG TOO?" I ALMOST SENT IT AND THANK GOD - I CAUGHT IT. POOR THING LITF. IT'S CONTAGIOUS! WELL, THE WAY I LOOK AT IT IS, WE'RE THINKING ABOUT LITF MUCH MORE.

And, from ERNIE586 singing words to tune Camptown Races with new facelift...http://www.timwoolleyracing.com
And we are thrilled to see Bobby Barbaro is no longer using his sling for now since August 22, 2006.
Oh! Bobby J. (Sung to the Melody Camptown Races)
Barbaromaniacs sing this song
Doo-dah! Doo-dah!
Churchill Downs is one mile long
Oh! De doo-dah day!
Chorus:
He's gonna sleep all night
He's gonna sling all day
Gonna bet my money on Bobby J.
He's our gorgeous bay
I go up on the Woolley site
Doo-dah! Doo-dah!
I lurk all day and I post at night
Oh! De doo-dah day!
Chorus:
Lots of people love this horse
Doo-dah! Doo-dah!
Let's all pray and stay the course
Oh! De doo-dah day!
Chorus:
Now Dr. RI is one fine doc
Doo-dah! Doo-dah!
He fixed Bobby's leg from hoof to hock
Oh! De doo-dah day!
Chorus:
We love his trainer Michael Matz
Doo-dah! Doo-dah!
He comes at night to give him pats
Oh! De doo-dah day!
Chorus:
Now there's jockey Awesome Ed
Doo-dah! Doo-dah!
He stroked our Bobby 'til he went to bed
Oh! De doo-dah day!
Chorus:
And don't forget his old friend Pete
Doo-dah! Doo-dah!
Every morning was so sweet
Oh! De doo-dah day!
Chorus:
The Jacksons love him, that's for sure
Doo-dah! Doo-dah!
They'll do alot and then some more
Oh! De doo-dah day!
Chorus:
And thank you Alex for all you've done
Doo-dah! Doo-day!
We'll stick with you 'til this race is won
Oh! De doo-dah day!
HUMOR UPDATE 2 (AUG 25, 2006): Since we were unexpectedly off line for two days here is the reason why. Alex asked that Barbaro be cleared of any mischievous wrongdoing on his part.
So Barbaro tells his side of the story with a bit of typing help from Carole.
Barbaro's Tale How Fog's Went Wood's
by Cle Shaw & Bobby Jackson August 25, 2006
Another day of rain and the fog rolls in,
Still Lost In The Fog made his Belmont win,
The Belmont stakes came in 2005 and went,
Barbaro nays, " That was time very well spent."
Looked at Tim Woolley's site for today's bit of news,
Saw my tribute to Lost In The Fog had some views.
"Yikes," snorts Barbaro. "They'll sure be in for a big surprise."
Lost In The Fog's became Lost In The Wood's before our eyes.
Then Lost In The Fog gave Barbaro a call.
"Hey, what's with me Lost In The Wood's," from his stall.
BJ retorts, "Lightning struck "Crafty Shaw's" DSL,
Wireless Router, Internet Explorer wipeout as well."
"Some say I got high on too many peppermints and grass,
Must be "Mischievous Bobby" making another pass.
Who knew it was really Windows XP's "Buggy Colt."
Along with "Stormy's" mischievous lightning bolt."
Off to our best neighbor's house trotted Crafty and me,
Yes, Lost In the Wood's is back to Fog's original remedy.
Still Lost In The Fog made his Belmont win,

HUMOR UPDATE 1 (AUG 23, 2006): C. Johansen WONDERS How did Lost In The Fog Become Lost In the Woods? Well, thanks to Bobby's antics with some mischievously grazing he changed the Fog to Woods when I wasn't looking. Melissa H. knew it all along..."I told you Bobby was getting HIGH on all that grass! In fact, I mentioned it at the Tim Woolley Message Board in 'NEW BOBBY's MESSAGE TO THE BARBAROMANIACS." And you thought he was only good at grabbing those pepperments off the ledges before they fall. What will the ICU nursing staff think of next to keep Bobby amused? He's quite charasmatic and funny indeed! NEW WORD for what BARBARO means is MISCHIEF-MAKER.
***JOB APPLICANT***
A local business was looking for office help. They put a sign in the window saying:HELP WANTEDMust be a good typist and be good with a computer. Successful applicant must be bilingual. We are an Equal Opportunity Employer.A short time later a lovely bay horse trotted up to the window, saw the sign and wentinside. He looked at the receptionist and nodded his head, then walked over to the sign, looked at it, whinnied and pawed the air.The receptionist called the office manager. He was surprised, to say the least, to see a horse applicant. However, the horse looked determined, so he led him into the office. Inside, the horse laid down and stared at the manager expectantly.The manager said, "I can't hire you. The sign says you must be able to type."The horse jumped up, went to the word processorr and proceeded to quickly type a perfect business letter. He took out the page and trotted over to the manager, gave it to him, then laid back down. The manager was stunned, but told the horse, "That was fantastic, but I'm sorry. The sign clearly says that whoever I hire has to be good with a computer."The horse jumped up again, went to the computer and proceeded to demonstrate his expertise with various programs, internet marketing, and produced a sample spreadsheet and database; then presented them to the manager.The manager was dumbfounded! He said to the horse, "Hey, I realize that you are a very intelligent applicant and have fantastic talent, but you're a horse -- no way could I hire you."The horse trotted over to the sign in the window and pointed his hoof at the words, "Equal Opportunity Employer."The exasperated manager said, "Yes, I know what the damned sign says. But the sign also says you have to be bilingual."The horse looked him straight in the eye and said, "Meow."

Be Thankful
by Mary L. (Ohio) August 5, 2006
Be thankful that you don't have everything you desire.
If you did, what would you have to look forward to?
Be thankful when you don't do something,
for it gives you the opportunity to learn.
Be thankful for the difficult times.
During those times you grow.
Be thankful for your limitations,
because they give you opportunities to improve.
Be thankful for each new challenge,
because it will build your strength of character.
Be thankful for your mistakes,
for they will teach you valuable lessons.
Be thankful when you're tired and weary,
because it means you've made a difference.
It's easy to be thankful for the good things.
A life of rich fulfillment comes to those
who are also thankful for the setbacks.
Gratitude can turn a negative into a positive.
Find a way to be thankful for your troubles,
and they will become your blessings.
Read and think about what the poem says...
*POEM BELOW WAS SPECIAL REQUEST BY ALEX our LIFELINE
Barbaro’s Goodnight Whisperer
By CLE Shaw August 22, 2006(inspired by Bobby Jackson’s Big Heart)
From Dawn’s earliest sunbeams grazing your face,
You knew at once NBC was your new place.
Handling all kinds of setbacks you willed your way through,
Winning America’s hearts and your Dr. Dean’s too.
You knew at once NBC was your new place.
Handling all kinds of setbacks you willed your way through,
Winning America’s hearts and your Dr. Dean’s too.
Believe in Miracles and Believe in Barbaro,
Became the motto - as much as - Go Bobby Go.
Never once were you willing to give it all up,
For deep inside you knew there is a Victor’s cup.
--> -->
Arabian bloodlines - our American Champion,
Goodnight whisperer prays again -“Heal our blessed one.”
Prayer vigils at seven pm with lots to do,
Before moonlit evenings - graciously comfort you.
There’s no denying that Miracles beyond faith occur,
Baffles scientific genius you’re improving as it were,
When millions gather around you to send their prayers to God,
All things are possible with Faith, yet why is that so odd?
--> -->
Gretchen and Roy, Michael and Peter, along with Dr. Dean,
Find there’s more “Greatness” in your heart than ever before seen.
Emotions run high for you get under everyone’s skin,
Your Charisma and Passion will not die but would rather win.

Thankfully Compassion is not written in solid stone,
That Love beats the odds for horses we simply do not own.
Not until your presence graces - his do we understand why,
Resting your weary head on Edgar’s shoulder and you comply.
That Love beats the odds for horses we simply do not own.
Not until your presence graces - his do we understand why,
Resting your weary head on Edgar’s shoulder and you comply.
Winning over sports writers placing you in public’s views,
Sympathy cares flowing as Niagra Falls were selfless truths
Boggles the mind thinking about generosity’s human flow,
Rises far above comprehension our love for Barbaro.
Sympathy cares flowing as Niagra Falls were selfless truths
Boggles the mind thinking about generosity’s human flow,
Rises far above comprehension our love for Barbaro.
Brightness, intelligence, courage are burning fires we see,
In us as we strive living for human and horse dignity.
When immeasurable hours of doctoring and nursing care are done,
There is still much healing for Barbaro in his special race to run.

Marathons are fleeting while concerns are still shining through,
Reflecting the most brilliant star lighting evening’s deep blue.
It’s love light guides the goodnight whisperer to ease away the pain.
With burning hopes that will not die as new horizons awaken again.

With burning hopes that will not die as new horizons awaken again.
May time fly so your bones and hoof heal quicker in stages to mend,
On the goodnight whisperer’s voice hear a song that will never end.
You’re the brightest spirit in our thoughts and prayers night and day.
Your burning desire inspires us to fight the same way.

Still, Barbaro wishes Bernadini and Bluegrass Cat Good News.
To Preakness and Haskell Winners - sporting their lucky horseshoes,
“Yahoo Jim Dandy King - dominating one the toughest races,
“May Luck ride with you Bluegrass Cat at Travers, next of this week’s races.”

“Would have loved to see it for myself," says Barbaro beaming wide.
Bernadini tosses a look his way saying, “rather had you by my side.”
“Competitive sports with friendly banter, that’s what I love to see,”
snorts Blue Grass Cat through video cam jamming just like Bernadini.

Take the goodnight whisperer’s advice - “Reserve, conserve, then move out,”
Knickers Barbaro, “But you two better play nice at Travers - running about.
No clipping, or tripping like Afleet Alex and definitely no slipping on turns.
Last thing anyone wants to see are needless falls, heatstrokes, and burns.”

“Taking your wisdom to heart, you’re incredibly smart,” chime the pair.
“Did you know you’re now more famous than Ginger Rogers and Fred Estaire?
Somewhere we heard by spread of the word that your heroism is no fable.
Seabiscuit’s pride lives just inside making you better than even Clark Gable.”
“Did you know you’re now more famous than Ginger Rogers and Fred Estaire?

And now the goodnight whisperer gives special thanks to Alex and Tim,
For humoring Barbaro’s lighter fare that makes us all laugh with him.
Swift-fleeted feet were always there accompanied by sharp witty mind.
Qualities so rare as a Pink Panther Gem in the horse racing world to find.

Moonlight beams now enter in where Sunlight rays once were,
The brightest evening star is never far from where Barbaro might stir.
Dreaming once again of that Kentucky Derby race seven lengths ahead,
Will be our hero’s healing grace night and day - rising and going to bed!

Part II of Mike C's Race Call to Honor Barbaro (August 1, 2006)
MORE OF THE CALL...And the horses thunder down the backstretch,Barbaro still has a lot of work to do", says Durkin. "He's back in the race, but he's not in his usual up close stalking position after the 2 disasterous mishaps in this race".As the leaders begin to hit the far turn Durkin is calling the positions of the horses in the race using names and colors to describe them in his adjective littered call.As he gazes thru his binocs and he gets to BARBARO, now in mid pack we pick up his call." And now BARBARO IS BACK,here in mid pack an unlikely spot in both a bad and good way, he's usually close to the pace but with what happened today its already an amazing comeback.Edgar pulls down a pair of goggles and he almost seems to be smiling now, WHY COULD HE BE SMILING??.DID WE NOT SEE THE BEST OF BARBARO ALREADY TODAY??.Edgar still has a handful of reins ladies and gentleman meaning he still has a ton of horse under him"..This could be a comeback of TITANIC proportions, Edgar is smiling like a guy holding 5 aces, he knows he's on a time bomb here waiting to explode, but after all the hardships thrown BARBAROS' way just how much is lift in the tank???.But by the look on Edgar's face, and determination in BARBAROS eyes I'm not willing to bet against the miracle we may just see here today".....The crowds roar heightens with every stride of the horses,you can now hear cries of "C'MON BARBARO,LETS GO BOY" becoming more evident above the thunderous roars of the thousands anticipating the tremendous finish that lies ahead.....
