Neither will I and neither will thousands of racing fans. Unfortunately, Barbaro's tragic breakdown will be recalled with his unrelated breaking through the gate earlier, linking breakthroughs with bad consequences in people's minds for a long time or forever. Similar to how Ruffians breakdown was linked to match races and basically put an end to them, at least for a long time. An important difference is that in Ruffian's case there is a more plausible connection to the stress and pace of match races to breakdowns.
