Story
Alex Brown Racing came to prominence as a site that provided updates on 2006 Derby winner Barbaro, during his time at the New Bolton Center. That episode evolved into an online community that supports horse welfare issues (discussion board).
Alex Brown also teaches, writes, advocates for horses, speaks, and undertakes consulting work.
