After what that poor horse has been through I can only feel happy that he is at last pain free and RIP. Being a horse owner and lover I thought they were going to far with this poor horse.

Barbaro, sweet boy, your mom and dad did their best for you and in the end they had to give you the final, greatest gift of all. I can visualize you trotting around with a big, silly smile on your horsey face. Enjoy yourself sweet boy and know that you gave alot of non-horse people insight into horses, racing, etc.

Brave Barbaro!! I just heard moments ago that that he was put to sleep!! It was a very long hard struggle, and all involved worked so hard to get you better!! You were a trooper and a real inspiration to us humans!!! Be free at the Bridge, and run like the wind......sleep softly sweet Barbaro.....

Video of the press conference is here. Anyone who watches it, it leaves no doubt how deeply the owners and vet loved this horse and did all that they did with only his best interest in their hearts.

Dr. Dean Richardson has an extremely difficult time speaking at times.
