And thank heavens it did! This is very good news, especially considering the mood and thoughts 24 hours ago. I watched through the night for any "bad news" and when I saw none, I breathed a little more easily.
He bought himself some time! Hurray for Barbaro.
I like that he has a sling to use:
~~~~
"... Barbaro has been fitted with a sling to prevent sudden movements and allow him to shift his weight from side to side. The main goal is comfort.
"The sling is on only some of the day, when it's off, he can lie down," Richardson said. "We are not torturing this horse." ..."

It just already *feels* better - at least for today.
Better Barbaro news today for our FR Barbarites!
"He bought himself some time! Hurray for Barbaro."
In this time of absolute global madness there is Barbaro.
Believe he's the most inspirational horse of my lifetime. What a fighter! Amazing. Seems his will to live equals the desire he had to win on the track. It's no wonder so many of us "get" him. Perhaps even wish to be like him.
I'm with you, Rte66. Hurray for Barbaro!
