The type of injury may still play a factor-- one of the few things that went in Barbaro's favor is that the skin wasn't broken in the initial accident. In a case like Ruffian's, by the time Vasquez got her pulled up she'd nearly torn the foot off.

I would guess any time it's a Classics winner, they'll do their best to save him (her). A Classics also-ran-- well, I guess that will be up to the owner.

And a lot of this will still hinge on whether Barbaro makes it. If he (God forbid) doesn't pull through, I wouldn't be surprised to see people yell that he should have been put out of his misery right away.

And how long before I move off of "Bowie?"
