You are right. Jockey Club does not allow artificial insemination.
As far as litle Barbaros, I believe the Jacksons have a full brother to Barbaro, and his broodmare, La Ville Rouge, is in foal to Dynaformer again.
We'll have to keep our eye out for him/her at a future race.

They are trying, and that is worth the chance. OTOH- John Henry was a great racehorse who got gelded very early in his life because he was a terror in the barn. Only a very few people could handle him, even as a gelding, but he was a savage stallion.
He ran races successfully until he was 9 or 10, I think.
His Sire and Dam were still alive and they were rebred to try and recreate anoth John Henry. I never did hear what the result was. His Sire was called "Old Bob Bowers", I think, and his stud fee, even after siring John Henry was still below $5000, as I recall. If anyone knows more about the attempt to get a good full brother or sister to John Henry, let me know.
