KENNETT SQUARE, Pa. (AP) -- Barbaro's final resting place could be just a few hundred yards from the scene of his greatest triumph in the Kentucky Derby.
Officials at the Kentucky Derby Museum, located on the grounds of Churchill Downs, said Tuesday they'd be "honored" if Barbaro were buried in a garden along with four other Derby winners.
"We've expressed to them how honored we'd be to have Barbaro here," Lynn Ashton, executive director of the museum, said. "We feel like we're bringing horses back to be honored."
The grave sites of Derby winners Sunny's Halo (1983), Carry Back (1961), Swaps (1955) and Brokers Tip (1933) are located outside on the museum grounds.
Owners Gretchen and Roy Jackson said Monday a final decision on where Barbaro would be buried had not been made. Other possibilities include the Kentucky Horse Park in Lexington, Ky., and the Jacksons' Lael Farm, just a few miles away from the University of Pennsylvania's New Bolton Center.
The Jacksons did not immediately return phone calls Tuesday morning.
Barbaro was euthanized Monday after complications from his gruesome breakdown at last year's Preakness, ending an eight-month ordeal that made him even more of a hero than he was as an undefeated Derby winner.

The track was opened in 1938 by the Hollywood Turf Club. Its original chairman was Jack Warner of Warner Brothers fame, and its original 600 shareholders included many other Hollywood luminaries. Al Jolson and Raoul Walsh were members of the founding Board of Directors and Mervyn LeRoy served as a director from 1941 until his death in 1986. This Hollywood connection served as the origin of the track's name, as the location of the track itself is actually 10 miles outside of Hollywood.
Hollywood Park closed from 1942 to 1944 due to World War II, being used as a storage facility. In 1949, the original grandstand and clubhouse were destroyed by a fire; the rebuilt facility reopened in 1950. A card club casino was added to the complex in 1994. Churchill Downs Incorporated bought the track for $140 million in 1999.
In July 2005, Churchill Downs sold the track to the Bay Meadows Land Company for $260 million in cash. Under the terms of the deal, the Bay Meadows Land Company, which operates Bay Meadows in San Mateo, will continue thoroughbred racing at the track for at least three more years. According to Bay Meadows officials, the continuation of Hollywood Park as a racing venue after that depends on California allowing the addition of alternative forms of gambling, such as slot machines, to the track. (The Orange County Register, July 7, 2005)
Some of the Hollywood Park land has been sold to real estate developers for them to build a new housing community called the Inglewood Renaissance. Development began in 2005 and continues today.
New grass was installed on the turf course following Hollywood Park's Spring/Summer meet in 2005. However, due to safety concerns, turf racing was not conducted for that year's Autumn meet. As a result, several major stakes races that comprised Hollywood's Autumn Turf Festival were cancelled that year.
Following the conclusion of Hollywood's Spring/Summer meet in 2006, it was announced that a second chute would be built inside the turf course to accommodate sprint races at six furlongs. This follows a similar move by Monmouth Park to build a turf chute for sprint races.
Notable events at the track:
Hosted the inaugural Breeders' Cup in 1984, and also hosted the event in 1987 and 1997.
In 1951, Citation became the first million-dollar-winning horse by winning his final start, the Hollywood Gold Cup.
Silky Sullivan made his first start in a 5 1/2 furlong dash for maidens at on May 17th, 1957.
On December 10, 1999, Laffit Pincay, Jr. surpassed Bill Shoemaker's all-time record for race wins by a jockey.
Cesario (JPN) becomes the first Japanese-bred, Japan-based racehorse to win an American stakes race in nearly 50 years, winning the July 2005 American Oaks.
The track has a one and one-eighth mile dirt oval. It also has a one mile turf oval. The track regularly seats 10,000 people. A new cushion track racing surface was installed in September, 2006, making Hollywood Park the first track in California to meet the California Horse Racing Boards guideline that all tracks in the state replace dirt surfaces with a safer artifical surface by the end of 2007.
