aboz56 Posted May 20, 2006 Share Posted May 20, 2006 Really bizarre. Before the race Derby winner Barbaro charged through the gate, they had to reset the gate. Then as they broke from the gate he appeared to be injured and pulled up. Taken off the track in a cart and they say the injury may be career threatening or possibly life threatening for the horse. Anyone else see this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fathom Posted May 20, 2006 Share Posted May 20, 2006 (edited) Yep....that was just awful. I've never seen a race where no one cared about the winner more than this. He'll be lucky if he survives this. Edited May 20, 2006 by fathom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The horse goes from super horse to possibly put to rest in just minutes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greasywheels121 Posted May 20, 2006 Share Posted May 20, 2006 Yeah, I tuned over right after the Sox highlights on SC. That really blew. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fathom Posted May 20, 2006 Share Posted May 20, 2006 Serious fractures for the horse, but it doesn't sound good for him. If his blood supply is damaged, they're going to have to put him to sleep. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milkman delivers Posted May 20, 2006 Share Posted May 20, 2006 I want a horse to win the triple crown just so they stop talking about it. Every year they blow up the horse that wins the Kentucky Derby and make it out to be the greatest horse since Secretariat, and every year it's just a fluff job to get people to pay attention.

That is true. I don't think there will be another Secretariat, the closest I've ever seen in the short time I've watched it was Charismatic, a decendent of Secretariat (who isn't anymore) and he broke his ankle or something too.

THEWOOD Posted May 20, 2006 Share Posted May 20, 2006 JUST GOT HOME.....f*** YEAH!!!! I hit the exacta and had money across the board on 7 and 8....BIG BUCKS!! Suck about barbaro he was a world class horse, would of had a great chance for the triple crown. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoosierSox Posted May 21, 2006 Share Posted May 21, 2006 I think Barbaro would have done it. The pace was very slow. We will never know now though. Just hope they can save him that would be awful to go from Triple Crown contender to being put to rest in just minutes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WilliamTell Posted May 22, 2006 Share Posted May 22, 2006 (edited) Barbaro standing after surgery. If he gets through this it will be amazing. It's sad that we'll never know if he was triple crown material or not, but he'll always be remembered. http://sports.espn.go.com/sports/horse/tri...tory?id=2452946 "You do not see this severe injury frequently because the fact is most horses that suffer this typically are put down on the race track." Dr. Dean Richardson A very tough horse but most importantly he has caring rich owners who are willing to put the money up for this surgery. I assume they're rich anyways.
