Just returned from the annual Alibi breakfast at Pimlico, where a number of awards were handed out. Not surprisingly, Barbaro's Preakness tragedy and the ensuing battle for his life were the major themes.
Dr. Dean Richardson and Edgar Prado were honored for their effort, while Sean Clancy won the award for the best Preakness 2006 story, a story for the Mid-Atlantic Thoroughbred that followed Barbaro's ordeal from the starting gate all the way to the New Bolton Center.
Carl Nafzger and Larry Jones, whose stalls are just a short ways away, were enjoying some playful banter near the stakes barn this morning, a continuation of when Larry Jones interrupted Nafzger's conversation with the media to hand the Derby-winning trainer a set of keys to his maroon pick-up truck. Nafzger already won the trophy and the money, does he really NEED a free truck, too??
