Awesome news. I read the other day he was doing well and seeing now he's had an incredible week is great.

Fingers still crossed for Barbaro!

I saw it! about eight times...Thanks Jess, it's really awesome, the music is so appropriate and now I have to go watch Phar Lap too. Made me smile and made me cry, I miss him.

To all of those interested, he is still doing well at this time. No new information, just waiting for him to heal to see if he can make it. So far he's facing the hurdles like the champion he is, and he has overcome them all up to now, keep him in your prayers for a recovery that will give him a happy comfortable life.

that was a great video!

No he's not better yet. He may not get better, it's a long wait and see game, as I stated above, he is doing well so far but he is not out of the woods yet and complications could set in at any time at this point. But hopefully he will just continue on this path and come out okay on the other side.

I revised it a bit, added a few more effects for variety and such . Thanks for the compliments and I'm glad you've enjoyed!

For those interested in what may be going on with Barbaro, he needs more prayers:

He also had another cast change today, to make a total of four in the last week. He continues to need prayers. His odds are back down to 50/50 and hopefully this is a temporary setback.

Another update: Barbaro's condition has been downgraded. He now has acute severe laminitis in his left hind leg (the good leg) and only 20% of the hoof ramains attached to the coffin bone. His chances are grim so any extra prayers anyone can give for him would be appreciated. His owners and vets have dictated that he will not be allowed to suffer and at the moment is comfortable on lots of pain medications but unles something drastic good happens soon he isn't going to make it. He could use all the prayers you can give.
