Bumpy Road
Barbaro's health continues to suffer. The latest, once again, courtesy of the Associated Press:
KENNETT SQUARE, Pa. -- Barbaro's perilous road to recovery has suffered its biggest setback yet.
The Kentucky Derby winner faces major problems for the first time since surgery to repair the right hind leg he shattered in the Preakness seven weeks ago. And the colt's veterinarian says "we're in tough times right now."
Barbaro had a new cast applied for a sixth time Monday -- the fourth change in a week. The latest development followed three hours of surgery Saturday night when doctors replaced the titanium plate and many screws and also treated an infection.
"I think we're in for tough times right now. I think we're going to have some tough days ahead," Dr. Dean Richardson said at the University of Pennsylvania's New Bolton Center. "I'm being realistic about it. When a horse has a setback like this, it's a problem."
