I have been following horseracing for a long time, and was very excited to see how he would do after the Derby. I was in tears and sick to my stomach when I saw him bobble and start bouncing and knew he'd broken his leg but I am hoping the can save him. I was thinking of Funfair about six months ago, also ridden by prado, and Go-For-Wand in the Breeder's Cup Distaff against Bayakoa, and was glad to see him at least make it off the track. I am praying they are able to save him, but it will be tough, he has three broken bones and a dislocated ankle joint. Prado pulling him up gave him his only chance at making it, because he was able to stop him before the break became compounded and open. He is a hero in this story and did his best for Barbaro. If he can stay calm he has a chance. Ruffian was put down because she could not tolerate the cast on her leg coming out of anesthesia after her breakdown and injured herself severely with it. I am praying he can tolerate it better and makes a full recovery to spend his days in the pasture and being a daddy. They are doing everything they can for him. I feel a little bad for Bernardini, nobody really cares that he ran the race of his life.. I know I haven't cared.
