Sad news. Barbaro had to be put down due to further complications. That really sucks after trying so hard to recover. :(

He'd been looking really harsh, I am glad they set him free.

Oh, I hadn't realized that he'd not been looking well lately. The first I've seen of him in ages was last weekend (they showed a little clip of him during the races) - he actually looked decent except for that one leg which was just astounding. Not the good type of astounding, but you know. As someone else said, hopefully he's enjoying green pastures and peace now.

He went down fast, and looked really poor, as tends to happen in such cases, laminitis, serious foot ailments.
