Take That, Barbaro: Better Horses Get Honor
Zombie Barbaro must be pissed! The Philadelphia Park Liberty Carousel in Franklin Square — that carousel is everything our founding fathers hoped and dreamed of — recently added replicas of two racehorses: Smarty Jones, who blew the Triple Crown on the backstretch, and Afleet Alex, who won the second two legs of the Triple Crown and cured cancer. Did I hear that right? Two better horses — who won 66.7% of the Triple Crown races, instead of just 33.3% — got replicas and Barbaro is nowhere to be found? That’s what I’m talking about! Let’s get confirmation from Amy Needle, CEO of the carousel or something:
It makes sense that there are only replicas of Alex and Smarty; unlike a regular racehorse, you can’t ride a carousel horse to its death. Each carousel horse cost $30,000 of course, which in these booming economic times is no big deal. Philly Carousel Gets Replicas of Local Winning Race Horses [KYW 1060] |

If, for some reason, there is already a Barbaro carousel horse somewhere, please do not let me know about it. Thanks.
this is a poor excuse for journalism.
Holy shit… here come the death threats from the Barbaro fans^H^H^H^H zealots.
Barbaro doesn’t care about the poor!
Also, please note I don’t think getting a replica carousel horse made of yourself is an “honor,” it just fit better in the headline space.
Indeed there is a replica carousel horse of Barbaro located near Philadelphia, but, of course you wouldn’t want to know about that, as it would destroy the point of your ridiculous piece. Would that you were as talented in your realm as Barbaro was in his!
Actually, I think dmac is more talented than Barbaro. He blogs successfully more than 33.3% of the time, and isn’t, you know, dead.
