Perhaps we could make this into a Freeper Pajamahadeen call. Ping the Horse List with a request to ask if anyone taped the broadcast. If they did, have them look at the NBC broadcast post-race replays of the gate-crashing incident and run-out and then have them report back on whether or not they see Barbaro do any three-legged gaits. If he did, then Freepers get another feather in their cap. If not, well . . I guess I'll just go mumbling off somewhere repeating "I'm losing my mind. I'm losing my mind." (My apologies if I took your post the wrong way.)
Well, I've already pinged them to this thread once, let's see, before pinging them again, if anyone chimes in that they've either got a link to footage or can report this :~D
I've ridden since I was 6 or 7 years old, and I'm considered to have a pretty good eye for a horse being "off", and I just don't see it. Besides, you can feel it before you can see it, and no jockey in his right mind would ride into a race knowing that the horse was going unevenly.
Nor have I heard this from anyone else. Are you sure you didn't see a snippet of the post-injury film taken out of context?
