From you know who about Barbaricus [good for a laugh]:


'A Class 3 chaff bandit from the O’Brien yard, so positive comments are forbidden. His only win in the last 15 months was when he beat Davcon in a photo at Moonee Valley on 28/9/07. Unfortunately he ran a place in the 2008 Caulfield Cup at 100-1 and that put most battlers’ trifectas and First 4s out of play. He ran another good race last Saturday, but in my mind he’ll always be a “chaff bandit”. I obviously missed the two important gear changes of “heart and double lung transplant on” and “oxygen mask on” - before his latest two runs. Fair dinkum – Barbaricus. I thought I’d been “called home” when he ran a place in a Caulfield Cup and God was cracking a joke, as he knew I enjoyed a giggle. “Follow the light” he said – so I did - and it led me straight to the lunatic asylum' Barbaricus.
