My husband says that racing rules would have prohibited the collection of sperm and that Barbaro was too ill to stud, so that the owners would have no Barbaro babies. Is this correct?

Being able to register a thoroughbred with the Jockey Club which is the organization which handle the paper for thoroughbreds. They require a live cover, artificial insemination is not allowed. so there will be no thoroughbred babies out of Barbara but he made his breeding line popular. Only time will tell what kind of impact Barbaro could have made on the thoroughbred industry. By how his brothers and sisters race and eventually go to stud and the breeding shed for the mares. Along with how there foals do. It was a big lose but accidents happen, but the industry still has other stars that will keep improving the thoroughbred as a whole

Your husband is right. Besides the rules requiring live cover, he never had the chance to stand at stud, he may never have been able to even if he had won this race for life. Sadly, Barbaro is gone and there will be no offspring.
On a bright note, he already has one full brother and his dam is in foal to Dynaformer again with another full brother. But there will never be another Barbaro.

Barbaro left no offspring, which is sad. But he was far from certain to be a success at stud.
Barbaro's sire, Dynaformer, has no sons at stud. While Dynaformer has sired many excellent, top-class horses, his statistics and the type of horses he has sired have not endeared him to people looking to stand stallions at stud. The market overwhelmingly wants a horse that showed brilliant speed at a mile and was precocious as a 2-year-old. Dynaformer's offspring don't fit this pattern.
I suspect that had Barbaro lived, he would have had better success as a sire in England or Ireland than he would have had here.

definite, regrettably. He could could be positioned out of his misery. that's the subject with horse racing. If a horse is injured, he/she is "retired" and could in all probability be positioned to sleep (reckoning on how undesirable the harm is) on account that they count on status on all fours (human beings, on the different hand, are waiting to apply crutches and are waiting to lie down and raise any broken limb). replace: i ultimately checked Yahoo information to locate that Barbaro became into positioned down. it fairly is unhappy that a horse with a promising profession which contain his might end very presently.
