horrible

I have eaten so much chalk in my life i I can write on a blackboard with my finger.

[STARWISE]

Sheik Mohammed from Dubai (of ports deal) .. the winner with Bernardini.

[deadhead]

Praying that it is not life-threatening. A very sad day in horse racing. So strange how Barbaro went through the gate in the beginning of the race, and now this. Feel so bad for Barbaro, the trainer and all.

[jpsb]

Damn Damn Damn, To many good horses lost this way. What a shame, hope they can save his life.

Vet reporting that he does appear to have a fracture above and below the ankle (fetlock). He'll likely go to some rehab center they mentioned, they're evaluating for damage to the blood supply that would indicate whether it can heal well.

The Sheikh couldn't be here today, he's out buying another country.

Saint Bernardine's Feast Day, and owned by the Sheik of Dubai.

Covering all the bases?

"Beautiful, majestic creatures."

Yes, they are

I am physically sickened. I won't be eating dinner tonight.

[Abigail Adams]

Will he go to surgery right away, tonight? Maybe we'll hear some news later after the surgery.

I don't bet much on horse racing, but picked 8-3-1 for trifecta. And someone turned to and asked why I was not picking Barbaro. I responded by saying "Barbaro will fall". I don't know why I said it, but I did. Now I feel very bad.

[Nihil Obstat]

the ironic thing is that Saint Bernardine is the patron saint of "hoarseness" ........ and compulsive gambling!!

That was wierd. But Gary Stevens didn't think it had anything to do with the injury. Though he could not be for sure.

He's going to the University of Pennsylvania's veterinarian facilities.

The announcer was full of praise for Barbaro's jockey. Said he was Barbaro's fourth leg after the injury.

[sheikdetailfeather]

I am just sick over this. I hate to see and animal get injured like that.

[beyond the sea]

I ate earlier and I really feel like I'm going to lose it.

I hate to see these beautiful animals hurt. It's so unnecessary.

[SHOOT THE MOON bat]

I live near New Bolton Center. It is an amazing place. If there are any people that can save him it is the doctors there.

[onyx]

Me too. I love those magnificent creatures.
