So sad...
However, I'm grateful for everything the owners did for him, including knowing when it was time to let him go.
I would be curious to know the total of his vet bills. I will not forget him!!
I still watch that Kentucky Derby performance and say he would have won the Triple Crown and won the Classic. He was the best horse this year.
I'm not sure he would've won a Triple Crown, but he was a darn good horse, and would have been one of the most valuable sires we'd ever see. Instead, his legacy is going to be an enormous increase in track safety & maintenence, and hopefully focussing on the animal first and foremost. Here's to a great trooper.
Just heard about it. Horrible development. I wish now that he had been euthanized on the track, rather than spending the better part of a year going through all this garbage. Must've been pretty rough on the guy. RIP Barbaro.
