Sad to say, but I think Barbaro is not going to make it. Boy I hope he does, but the chances are very very slim.

Terrible news.

My only hope for Barbaro is that he's such a fighter and seems to know everyone is trying to help him. If any horse can pull through this, it's him.. Saying that, all prayers and well wishes couldn't hurt.

I will say as dire as it appears. This is the HORSE that can make it!!!!!! Any negative opinions need to be kept to yourself.

Agree completely. I dont give a **** if you think he is going to make it or not, and I dont think anyone else here does either. Lets all just keep hoping and praying (if you believe in that).

Barbaro deserves all the credit in the world for persevering this far...let's hope that determination brings him through this latest setback.

Believe me, I'll keep praying.

Horses die, just like people. It is part of life. The important thing is they are trying.

There's only one way to prevent these fragile animals from getting seriously injured ... and being put down ...

... and that's not to breed them.

As long as the thorougbred exists ... there are going to be tragic breakdowns. Those who can't stand the experience ... will have to eschew any contact whatsoever with the sport.

Expressing either positive or negative opinions will not change the facts.

We all hope this gallant horse pulls through ... but the poster who opined that the horse is not going to make it has every right to do so ... and is probably correct.
