I know this is not doggy, but it was with much sadness that I watched and shed tears for Barbero in the preakness today. His owners must be devestated. He left the gate far to early to begin with, then he was re-loaded into the gate, only to take off and fracture his ankle in not one but 2 places, I am hopeful that they can save him but it is depending on how much blood flow was lost to the ankle and the foot, while he ran when it was fractured....I broke down into tears...how sad this is.
