Fantastic. I've been looking for an update this morning. Thanks.
Solved the photo darkness problem, too - found a much lighter photo this morning here where I could see the raft and all the equipment clearly:

Here's more of a description, from that same story:
" ... As with other horses going into surgery at the New Bolton Center for Large Animals early yesterday afternoon, Barbaro was moved on a sling from intensive care, via a monorail, to the surgery table.
After the surgery, with the colt still in the sling, the monorail took him to a pool - "a fairly unique system," Richardson said.
The facility's pool recovery system allows horses to awaken from general anesthesia in a raft of sorts in the pool, still in the sling.
Richardson said he could tell he was dealing with an athlete. The horse tried to get out of the sling after being lifted from the pool, which was warmed to 97 degrees. ..."
