Go Bobby! I hope his teeth go as fast as his legs once did. The sunshine must feel so good on his back. What great news!
Thanks for the updates.
I’m sitting at my computer crying tears of JOY about this horse.
Not out of the woods yet, but I think I see the light.
From Alex:
Update 430: Just spoke to Adrian Rolls (Graham’s assistant with the two Arlington runners.) He said it seems both horses are cooling out well. To me it looked like Film Maker ran a big race, no real excuses, a good second in a very good race. Better Talk Now seemed to be compromised by a slow pace up front. He needs a quick pace, from which he is usually held up for a late challenge. When the pace up front is slow, the horses up front also still have a late kick, which makes it harder for the closers. While he finished 6th or 7th, he was only beaten about 6 lengths for everything ad looked to be galloping out strongly.
We have a few reports from our Fair Hill visitors today. Jazz posted on the discussion board: Todays visit with Alex in Fair Hill and also took pictures. Lynn left comments below (timestamp: 5:21 pm and 7:28 pm), a quick excerpt:
I understand why people fall in love with horses. I understand why they love to race. I understand now why the Jackson’s and Michael Matz have put so much on the line to save Barbaro.
Thanks Emily for showing us around Michael’s barn (and congrats on Tin Man)!
Update 431: Showing Up showed up, nice wiring performance! Congrats to the Jacksons.
Now that is NOT a boring update.
:no: :no: :no: :no:
BUT I’LL TAKE IT!

Fabulous news! I am sure he was very happy to be outside again.
Hey - is that OUR Emily that Alex was refering to?? (AKA Xctrygirl here on COTH) Just wondering…
One & the Same, Freebird, one and the same!!!
Just in from Alex:
Update 431: Showing Up showed up, nice wiring performance! Congrats to the Jacksons. Here is the Bloodhorse’s report on the race: Showing Up in Sparkling Secretariat Win. It was also nice to see the Steve Klesaris trained Diabolical win today at Delaware: Diabolical overpowers rivals in Nick Shuk.
edit: added the bloodhorse link and Diabolical performance.
go Bobby!
This is such great news…I too am crying tears of joy for Bobby. I am so happy he has been able to graze and be outside in the fresh air and sun…this should also do wonders for his recovery.
Thanks so much VB for all that you have done to keep us so well informed!
Any chance of a photo of Bobby outside today?
WHAT FABULOUS NEWS!!! I hope the sun was shining brightly and there was a good breeze for Bobby’s visit to the great out doors!!!
Yep, I’m thrilled he’s able to get some really fresh grass. Just the grass clippings he’s been brought are great, but fresh, fresh, fresh is soooo much tastier!! 
:yes: :yes: :yes: :yes: :yes: :winkgrin: :eek: :sadsmile:
That’s my question too. We haven’t had pictures since July. I need a new pin-up.
:yes: :yes: :lol: :lol: :lol:
y’know, early on, when things were looking terribly grim and oh so critical, i was hoping with all my heart that he would be able to feel the sun on himself even just one more time if his time was up. i sobbed for an entire day over that alone. for him to be led out to graze because the legs are sturdy and stable enough thrills me to no end. candles upon candles, jingles upon jingles will continue here in my barn for the duration and then some.
keep healing well, Bobby!!
per usual, thanks so much for everything, VB : )
OK I am embarassed now.
To those who don’t follow Tim’s site or the new and attached discussion Forums, they had 3 visitors from the Barbaromaniacs today.
As they wound down their tour of Tim’s barn, Alex brought 'em to our barn. I was free and had just finished playing with Barbaro’s half brother, Man in Havana after I rode him over the hills and dales at Fh.
So they come in and I ask if its ok to show them to Bobby’s 2 brothers that we have in.
So we toured the barn… it started with Bobby’s relations and pretty much ended up being the entire barn. 
So thats what they are referring to.

He got to go out on Thursday? How wonderful for him. How wonderful for his parents (Jacksons), MM, Peter, Alex and all of us!!!
Thanks for this great news!!
What wonderful news! Oh, I am so happy!!
I cannot believe it! This was part of my dream for him…but how did they get him away from it? My horse was nuts after 2 weeks of stall rest and I couldn’t drag him away…Gotta go light some more candles…YIPPEEEEEE!!!
