Bloodhorse featured the Hennegan Brothers in their regular “live discussion” series “Talkin’ Horses“.

John & Brad answer questions from around the country…

Nicholasville, KY asks:
I can’t wait to see the film. Can you give us some insight into Barbaro’s personality?

Brad Hennegan answers:

He loved watching SURVIVOR, pounding Mr. Pibb and listening to Twisted Sister in his stall …. just kidding! The one thing that struck us about Barbaro was that he was always raring to go once he approached the track in the a.m. and seemed mad he was leaving after the workout. That really sticks out in our minds. He seemed to love the camera too. Really inquisitive about the microphone. It was interesting that when we first started shooting Barbaro there was absolutely no one around, besides Michael Matz, Peter Brette and the rest of the Matz stable.

To see the press army grow and grow as the Derby approached was fun to watch.
