Barbaro breaks leg at Preakness

Sadly... a financial decision. If he dies, say goodbye to hugh stud fees.... otherwise he'd probably already be dead.
The problem with a broken leg is that horses can't do crutches, they won't lie still for 4 to 6 weeks and you can't drug them for that long.

I was at preakness and I bet 150 bucks on Barbaro. It's a shame that an innocent horse has to die now because of my terrible luck.

Might not need to happen. Had 6 hours of surgery. 23 screws in his leg, woke up from the anesthesia and walked back to his stall. Said to have as good chance of living as Rod Gardner had of catching a ball.
