A quick look at Kentucky Derby winner Barbaro and how he's progressing from lifesaving surgery at the New Bolton Center in Kennett Square, Pa.:
MEDICAL UPDATE: Barbaro continues to make good progress.
HIS DAY: Barbaro is still receiving get-well cards and e-mail -- more than 40,000 e-mail messages have been sent so far from the New Bolton Center's Web site for the horse at http://www.vet.upenn.edu/newsandevents/news/Barbaro.htm.
QUOTE: "He's doing great," said Gail Luciani, spokeswoman for the University of Pennsylvania's veterinary school.
Dang, bad wreck in the gate just now in a prelim race. Horse began to bust through the gate, but was held back by the stewards and went over backwards.
As a horse owner who knows how horses think, the gates always make me nervous. For an audience who is already nervous, this doesn't help.
