True but his genes will live on in all the foals he sires.

Someone in a previous post mentioned the horse's ability to "cover a mare" if he does survive. However, wouldn't there be more "high tech" means to insure that Barbaro's legacy lives on? Such as frozen sperm and artificial insemination? Wouldn't all that already be taken care of?

I would think that would be a matter of perpetuating his genes AND a matter of financial necessity in a horse like this.

The Jockey Club does not allow breeding by any other method than the old fashioned. Most breed associations do, but not The Jockey Club.
