They made a barbie for the Derby. Little girls don't care about the significance, they'll just think she has a neat hat

I know a lot of adults who are Barbie collectors - my guess is that Mattel is looking at the adult collector market rather than the little kids market. Although when I was 10, I was a big horse nut and still in the late Barbie Doll stage.

Yep, my Mom collects dolls and I've already emailed my sister and told her "hands off!" I'm getting this for Mom for Christmas.
