What if Matz had chosen a different post position?
Did an assistant starter make a noise that caused Barbaro to push through the gate?
If he hadn't pushed through the gate would he have gotten hurt?
It could go on forever, and I'll take your word for it that we can add KD's ride to the list. But if he didn't do anything that was blatantly against the rules of the sport, or anything intentional, then I really don't see the point in "blaming" him.

Like DaHoss and oracle said, we will never know what really caused Barbaro to get hurt (I edited my first post on this thread and added that in as well as the part that I didn't think KD's ride was responsible for Barbaro's injury, and that I quit trying to figure out what had caused his injury two months ago). It's horse racing and it happened. All we can do now is pray that the boy is happy and pain-free.
