The Jacksons have said all along that they only want to keep trying as long as Barbaro is comfortable.
Greed has nothing to do with it. In fact, they would have made money by putting him down.
They bred Barbaro, they love him, they see him EVERY day...they are not doing this for the money.
Hair, I know you understand.
Last I will say on the subject...good night.

You are absolutely correct. They could have collected the insurance money by putting Barbaro down at the Preakness track. They did everything they could to save him.

I am sure they will receive the insurance money now that he has been euthanized but they did spend an awful lot of money on vet bills.

The Jacksons are wealthy horse people and the care and survival of Barbaro was their first concern. They have always said that if they could no longer keep Barbaro comfortable (pain free) they would put him down. Apparently that time had come.

I think they did everything they could for the horse and his many fans.
