Get-Well Wishes
I'm concerned about Barbaro. Tonight at work, I read that he's been having trouble.
Courtesy of the Associated Press:
Kentucky Derby winner Barbaro hasdeveloped "potentially serious" complications to his injuredright hind leg, and underwent surgery to treat a new infection.
Late Saturday, the 3-year-old colt, who shattered his leg at the start of the Preakness on May 20, had a titanium plate and a number of screws replaced after developing discomfort in the leg and a "consistently" high temperature.
The surgery was performed by Dr. Dean Richardson at the University of Pennsylvania's New Bolton Center.
In a statement released Sunday, Richardson emphasized that the complications are "potentially serious."
It is the third procedure in less than a week for Barbaro. He had the cast on his injured leg replaced and some new screws inserted Monday, and on Wednesday another new cast was applied.
Also, Barbaro is being treated for a small infection on the sole of his uninjured left hind hoof, according to the hospital.
Poor horsie.
Stumble It!
