Although I never considered myself a Dan Fogelberg "fan," I always had a tremendous respect for him as a musician. As a longtime horse racing fan, I enjoyed Run For The Roses every time I heard the song, and --particularly-- when people used it for this video tribute to the ill-fated Barbaro, the winner of the 2006 Kentucky Derby (aka The Run For The Roses). As you might recall, Barbaro suffered catastrophic injuries shortly after the start of the Preakness two weeks after his scintillating victory at Churchill Downs, and --after a long struggle to survive-- was spared from further suffering in early 2007.
Dan Fogelberg lost his battle with prostate cancer Sunday December 16 at the far too young age of 56.
