KENNETT SQUARE, PA —Kentucky Derby winner Barbaro’s management has been changed to include sling support for several hours during the day, according to Dr. Dean W. Richardson, Chief of Surgery. “He is getting up and down on his own and continues to eat and have stable vital signs. Radiographs (X-rays) taken yesterday revealed no additional complications in either hind leg. We are considering several additional therapeutic options at this time. He is stable and acceptably comfortable.”


Barbaro remains in the Intensive Care Unit at Penn’s George D. Widener Hospital for Large Animals.

This was from this morning, he is doing much better. This was a setback but after all he has been through, he's not going to give up that easy. Bump in the road is all. I have faith that he will make it.
