    Barbaro was euthanized today.

    And for those of you who were unaware:
    Barbaro - Wikipedia
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barbaro

    Barbaro (April 29, 2003 – January 29, 2007) was an American thoroughbred racehorse that decisively won the 2006 Kentucky Derby and was a heavy favorite in the Preakness Stakes. On May 20, 2006, he fractured three bones in and around the ankle of his right hind leg shortly after the start of the race, an injury which ruined any chance of a Triple Crown win. The next day, he underwent surgery at the New Bolton Center at the University of Pennsylvania for his injuries. He had several more surgeries and his prognosis swung up and down for eight months. While his right leg eventually healed, both of his rear legs continued to have problems, including laminitis in his left leg. A last-ditch effort to use an external skeletal fixation device on his healed right leg to address an abscess was not successful.
    I am so ****ing sad.

                                      thats too bad, but i doubt that barbaro would have ever even became a champion again.

                                          It's not something that was doubted, it was something that would never have happened again. Horses with serious injuries like that are usually put down right on the track, but the owners didn't want to see that happen to him. They wanted him to at least be stable and somewhat pain-free and live out a calm life on their farm. He was an amazing horse.

                                          I'm also not necessarily a fan of racing, and it's a shame to see this happen, although one can understand why or how it did. Barbaro was about 3 years old. Most racing horses are very young...probably from 2-4 years old. Thoroughbreds don't finish maturing until they're about 7 or 8 years old. Their bones aren't fully developed yet and their legs are pretty weak, but they can move fast if they don't carry much weight. Where do most horses go after their short lives in the racing world? The slaughter house.

                                              Actually, a lot of them are put out to stud...and then father lots of potential star racing horses...
