Probably be a dead horse if it was dirt.Barbaro says he would of given synthetics a shot.Maybe he would of made it atleast out of the 1st turn.See,Andy,ya gotta look at the glass half full. This 3 year old has "a little bit of a stress fracture." We all wish Barbaro had just "a little bit of a stress fracture."

It's too bad he got hurt. I was looking forward to betting against him.

Is " a little bit of a stress fracture " similar to being a little pregnant?

This barn prides itself in finding problems really early.He has been able to do well with horses with a bowed tendon because they find them so early.If he says it's the start of a saucer fracture,then it's like a nagging yeast infection(versus your pregnancy scenario.)Dinner anyone?

That's interesting. Thanks.

Hard to fault Mandella. The guy's a great trainer.

In listening to Jim Rome today on his radio show, it sounded like he and a bunch of professional athletes (Billy Koch and Tom Brady were the two I heard mentioned) were going to buy the horse before finding out he got hurt.

Anyone else hear all of the details?

I believe that was the case. I heard Brady and Carson Palmer.. but the names don't really matter now.

The horse probably forced the injury after hearing that news.

I would be shocked if Hughes sold. He dang sure doesnt need the money, can u say B-illionaire? I wonder if he needs anymore kids, cause for that kind of money I am up for sale.
