Re: Barbaro Continues To Get Better

Thanks Barry. This is one of those stories that can get lost in the crowd. So I am grateful that we get an update here every once in a while.

There's more good news today concerning the horse that was badly injured in this year's Preakness.

Kentucky Derby winner Barbaro's right hind leg has a new cast, a new shoe and is healing well, while his left rear hoof is "gradually" improving from laminitis.


The cast was changed for the first time in six weeks, and Dr. Dean Richardson said Tuesday he was "pleased" with the progress in the leg that was shattered when Barbaro took a horrible misstep at the start of the Preakness on May 20.
