Barbaro fractures leg in Preakness

I agree, Karen, nobody even really cared that Bernardini ran the race of his life. I am trying to be hopeful that he doesn't have any major setbacks, but he is ahead of the eight ball at the moment. He is eating and is able to get himself up and down by himself without a sling so that's good news. If he can beat the laminitis and possible infection (which he has better odds of beating due to the fact it wasn't compounded on the track) then hopefully he can at least be pasture sound to enjoy a good life. Here's keeping fingers crossed that he comes out on top of the 50/50.

What happened to him is similar to what happened to my aunt;s horse durring hunting, and he's now a wonderful mount on the flat. Poor baby, I didn't see it because I forgot it was on. (I NEED to sign up to get reminder emails of when big races will be on TV if anyone knows where I can sign up)
I can't belive he kept running, my baby wouldn't. I horse like that only comes around once in a blue moon. Thank god he's a fighter.
