Re: Barbaro breaks leg at Preakness

I'm a fan of horse racing. it's always sad to see these athletes breakdown.

The really sad part is, if this was a low level horse, it would have been euthenized on the spot. but since barbaro is a grade 1 superstar, he can make millions a year being a stud(kinda like senor smack...). Last thing the horse wants is to stay in a swing for 6 months because some greedy bastard wasnt to make a boatload of money off his sperm.
and when i say boatload, i mean there is the potential to make 8 figures a year as a stud!

the highest paid horse, stormcat, makes $500,000 a pop(pun intented).
