I think the key here is, like Seabisquit during the depression years, Barbaro took our minds breifly away from the horrors of daily reports out of Iraq and focused instead on hope for this magnificient animal. The hope is there still that, with the outpouring of funds and top notch vet care, something important was learned to keep so many of these animals from being put down because they can't race anymore.

We can get an idea in humans of this will to live but only the individual knows for sure how extensive and deep seated it is. I have a friend that is convinced that her dog loves her. There is no dissuading her. Of course I don’t like to see a beautiful animal such as Barbaro killed but I don’t know how anyone measures the “will to live” in a horse.
