www.timwoolleyracing.com is the best site on Barbaro. Thanks to God the colt is hanging in there, and hope is rising that he is gonna actually pull thru, when some time ago he had almost no chance when he developed laminitis in his good hind leg's hoof.
Just for the record, he won the Kentucky Derby, and suffered his injury two weeks later in the Preakness, the second leg of the Triple Crown many feel sure he would have won. Say a little prayer for him, won't you?

This is asked often..and each time the website for him comes up as well as www.bloodhorse.com which has updates as available.
"Kentucky Derby (gr. I) winner Barbaro continues to be stable Friday after another comfortable night, according to chief of surgery Dean Richardson. His right hind leg cast was changed late Wednesday.
"We took new radiographs, and they look good," said Richardson. "No problems were evident." In addition, the modified foot cast on Barbaro's left hind foot, which has laminitis, is changed daily so the foot can be treated and watched for signs of infection.
"Barbaro has a strong appetite, and he has been enjoying handpicked grass and 'healthy snacks' daily," said Dr. Richardson.
Barbaro remains in the Intensive Care Unit of the University of Pennsylvania's George D. Widener Hospital."

Barbaro’s left hind hoof is slowly showing evidence of regrowth after surgery last month to treat laminitis.
Barbaro’s right hind leg continues to be protected in a cast. The original fractures have apparently healed well, but the cast is still necessary. The cast is required because he must bear most of his weight on the right hind limb due to the laminitis in the left hind leg.
Barbaro remains in the Intensive Care Unit of the University of Pennsylvania’s George D. Widener Hospital.
