Maybe I missed something- I didn’t see Michael on that one…of course, I turn it down and look away for the breakdown…
Is it on there- if so, I’ll try again!
It is there. I don’t know if it had the break down on it or not. I’m so used to immediately closing my eyes. The title has a gorgeous picture of him and it says “He sure did get a lot of support.”
Michael’s so sweet. Tears in his eyes.
I needed Kleenex after I watched that.:sadsmile:
I have never been happier than to see that amazing, beautiful Barbaro moving around his stall, as well as he did.
Thank you everyone for the continued jingles!!!
Let’s keep the positive mind set going in his direction!
Wow. He was practically walking sound. He looks great. I’m really surprised, I didn’t think he had a chance.
I wish I could’ve seen it, but IE doesn’t seem to want to play it. Neither does my Firefox. 
Link to photos of Barbaro at New Bolton, including before and after xrays. Wow!

Thanks for the link to Barbaro!
I am thrilled to hear he is doing so well. I am always jingling like crazy and he will always be in my thoughts!:sadsmile:
Rock on Barbaro, we all love you, in fact the whole world loves you!:sadsmile: You are a shining star!
:sadsmile:
GO Barbaro
I can’t get my 'puter to play me the bit with MM in it…waaahh
Anyhow- I just wanted to say that everytime I look at the pictures of the BIG guy- Barbaro- I am struck by that HUGE, kind eye. This is a truly wonderfully kind horse, and so intelligent. I am amazed by this guy- he has been a superstar since he was born, by all accounts, and I am thrilled to hear more about his successful recovery each day.
AND, if I read one more nasty article that contains “it” as a pronoun, I am going to hunt those fools down. This colt was probably worth more dead than alive at the time of his injury- and these people stepped up for a colt that obviously has aheart as big as all outdoors (sorry, Phar Lap) and did the right thing.
I hope he lives to sire amazing creatures. Some that race, and some that just make their people happy.
Just a note - I know some people were asking - his stable name is “Bobby”. :winkgrin:
Wasn’t that Phar Lap’s too? Or was that just what Tommy (I think) called him?
Tommy’s name for him!
Tommy’s name for him!
Don’t stop now.

>>>Very nice tribute video.
Yes, it is. The tears flowed again.
Seahorsefarmtobe:
Roy Jackson thanked many people for their efforts to save Barbaro, including Edgar Prado, outriders and other Pimlico staff, trainer Michael Matz and assistant Peter Brette, track veterinarians, in addition to Dr. Scott Palmer (who was attending the race as a spectator and “jumped in” to help), city and state police officers who provided an escort from Pimlico, and the staff of the New Bolton Center in Kennett Square, Pa.
I had the name of the track vet who administered the inflatable cast to Barbaro, but can’t find it now. He did a superb job under extraordinary circumstances.
Watching the video on MSNBC again, Gary Stevens agreed with Edgar: Barbaro broke better than he did in the Derby. And so enough with the conspiracy theory.
My thoughts and jingles (even without a curb chain) go out to Barbaro and his connections. Ruffian may have been our Pegasus, but Barbaro is our Adonis, and as such, we should continue to wish him our best over the long haul.
And my thanks go out to the COTHers, who continue to keep Barbaro in their prayers.
He does have a big generous kind eye, doesn’t he? I hope get to pat him someday.
You can just see his eye and know that he would put his head in your lap if he could. He’s just stunning. Makes me wish I had a mare;-)
If you want to see some beautiful pics, look at the thread that says “Pictures of Barbaro.” Breathtaking!

“I had the name of the track vet who administered the inflatable cast to Barbaro, but can’t find it now. He did a superb job under extraordinary circumstances.”
I didn’t see Dr. Palmer arrive while Barbaro was being cared for after race…they were trying to reach Dr. Palmer on his phone not knowing he was actually there. Dr Dan Dryfuss and his associate along with Dan’s assistant Matt (?) were putting on the robert jones (NOT inflatable at all, tons of cotton & heavy tight pulling). Once Palmer was reached they decided where to ship the horse & he met them there.
As taken from Tim Woolley’s Racing Blog:
Edit 29: Adding a few more pictures of Barbaro. A few more will be added tomorrow (sunday). These were taken the tuesday before the Preakness by Jennifer Duffy.
Edit 28: The Jackson’s visited Barbaro today (I think likely everyday actually) and then visited Michael Matz’s barn. Peter (Brette) reports that they said how well Barbaro is doing, so today looks like another good day (saturday).
Edit 27: Barbaro had another good night last night (friday night). I spoke with Michael Matz and Kathy Anderson this morning. It seems Edgar Prado is planning to visit him tuesday next week, all being well. He received a visit from the President of the University of Pennsylvania yesterday (of course along with Peter, Kim, Eduardo and whoever else visited). New Bolton Center is part of UPenn.
update: 8:41 am Friday morning
I think that Dr. Nick Meittinis was the vet that put the inflatable cast on Barbaro.

That’s the one! Thank you.

Thank you for the correction! Now I’ll have to look that up. I guess inflatable casts would be prone to punctures, wouldn’t they?
