I know, only minutes to go, and I start this up.

I'm placing a mythical honeybee on Barbaro to win.

Yo ho ho! Or does nobody actually say that?

Damn it. I've always made the joke that the surest way for me to stop a horse in it's tracks is to bet on him. And that's what happened to poor Barbaro today.

From his bevaiour, he either pulled his right jack cord, or partial tore it. I just pray it's not as serious as I fear. Lots of banamine, and a fair amount of ace to ease his confusion.

Fractures above and below the right hind ankle? Holy sh*t. Hopefully, he didn't wreck the blood supply to that foot. Horse's feet are a major portion of their circulatory system. Damn it. This really sucks. I'm never making that betting joke again.

Barbaro DNF

Bernardini became the first Preakness winner to have not run in the Derby since Red Bullet in 2000.

Please, pray for Barbaro.

The attending vet says that it will be "pretty major surgery" to fix Barbaro's leg. From the replays, it's a twisting, or spiral, type fracture. Keep a good thought for this fine colt.

He may not run again, Siren; but if I were into Thoroughbreds, I'd breed like crazy to him! :) :lol:
