"Because pressure from the horse-loving public might be the only thing that could get the whole rickety structure that is horse racing in this country to turn itself around. That to me would be the best tribute of all to Barbaro and all the others like him." ---

Thank you for this very thoughtful post ....... and many ongoing prayers from here for this courageous horse and his fine helpers.

Thank YOU, beyond the sea. On a happier note, the news this morning continues to be good. The vet said Barbaro is putting good weight on his broken leg. He even stood on it while he scratched his left ear with his good left rear leg, plus he tried to kick the vet with his good leg. The vet said the horse waved at him, LOL! :)

The Bloodhorse.com website will continue to post updates, as will the New Bolton Center. See the link kindly provided by Rte66 in post #821.

Have a great day. :)
