I just posted that he was doing well the other day and a few people said they doubted that and this was bad news. Nothing could be more untrue. If he didn't throw in his little jab about my "questionable" or whatever word he used connection to the horse, and said his dr. knew more, I would have just said ok. There are Barbaro haters out there. I have heard about some of the sick e-mail they have gotten, but I doubt this guy was one of them. Everyone is very protective of the horse and all their horses. The medium sized operations have to be or the bigger guys will eat them up. It is a super competitive game, but I don't need to tell a guy like you that. His story about the screws was just wrong. Like I said, they thought it was likely they would have to do this all along.

One last time though, "All this surgery was done under fluoroscopic control, using little, small incisions, so it wasn't like you were opening the leg back up or anything," Richardson said. "These were done through one-centimeter incisions, so tiny incisions."
