According to the vet, his racing days are definitely over... they are trying now to save his life, and leg so he can still be bred. I have been trying to see some replay of the incident, but haven't seen a good one yet. It LOOKS like he might have been clipped by another horse passing behind him. Can't tell for sure yet. Racing is a very dangerous 2 minutes of sports. My heart goes out to those involved.

This was very sad , and I hope he can be saved , but I feel sure his racing career is over:-(( ----- Original Message ----- From: "Giselda" <scotties@xxxxxxxxxxxx> To: "showgsd-l" <showgsd-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Saturday, May 20, 2006 4:14 PM Subject: [ SHOWGSD-L ] PREAKNESS! 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.
