Yeah but when is enough enough? I mean the poor guy has had more operations than you can count on one hand already. Limping around getting poked on all day long. Yeah look at him three years from now still getting around all limping and body sore the rest of his life. But hey he's still alive in his 10-12 stall. He's happy and he's eating they'll still say.

i think it's over. i really think this is the last thing they attempt.
i hate to sound fatalistic-but i don't see this horse being with us more than a day or two longer at the most. no weight on one leg means too much on the other and it can't handle it.

Unfortunatley, I think this may be the end of the road for Barbaro. I pray otherwise and hope I am wrong, but it just seems like too much now. From the Dean Richardson update, and Jeanne Edwards describing Michael Matz as "sullen", it just sounds like this may be their last, best stand.

Michael did not look good at all when Steve and I said hello to him at Gulfstream.

Just read an AP story that reported Dr. Richardson saying last night was "not a great night" for Barbaro. Very sad. I hope the news starts to get better soon.
