I was just thinking the same thing... as sad as we all are, I can't even begin to imagine how they must feel, especially Dr. Richardson who spent everyday with this horse and tried so hard to save him.

I wonder if Dr. Richardson will hold the press conference. Would the Jacksons even be up to talking?

I can't believe he made it this long.This is real saddening,yet relief to know it is over for him.A positive way to look at this is that the Vets got to try some new procedures and treatments and gained a ton of experience with this, so future horses will benefit from Barbaro.Rest well buddy,and let me know if you beat Secretariat!!
