Barbaro Memorial Fund

The legacy of Barbaro, the 2006 Kentucky Derby (gr. I) winner, lives on at the University of Pennsylvania's veterinary school and hospital where he spent his final days.

�At Penn Vet, we try to treat every patient like a champion,� said Dr. Dean W. Richardson, chief of surgery at Penn�s George D. Widener Large Animal Hospital and Barbaro�s primary caregiver. �But for many of us, Barbaro lives on in our hearts.�

A total of $2.7 million has been pledged to The Fund for Laminitis Research, and last year Dr. Hannah Galantino-Homer was appointed as lead investigator of the newly created laminitis research initiative. Roy and Gretchen Jackson created a $3 million endowment named for Richardson that will be used to study equine diseases. In addition, the Barbaro Fund, which was created to help animals in their time of need, has raised more than $1.3 million, with the money put toward both needed expansion of the George D. Widener Large Animal Hospital, and the purchase of equipment. including a new operating table and recovery raft.
