I totally agree, should be a fcking investigation into this matter though i doubt there will be. i may never watch another horse race for the rest of my life. sickening to do this to a horse, absolutely sickening!!!! I am curious to see how this plays in the media? any thoughts?
...when you agree with an idiot (Chuck Sims), you will be called an idiot. If you don't like that, I suggest that you not agree with idiotic statements!
First of all, Chuck misuses the verb "should have" with the classic mark of an idiot and uses "should of". Then he says Barbaro should have been scratched. Okay...why? Barbaro was checked by the track vet and found to have no injury, so on what logical basis should Barbaro have been scratched? Then Chuck ascribes the not scratching to greed, which again has no logical basis.
Then you agree with that completely and call for an investigation. Okay, on what basis? If you can give one reason why there should be an investigation, (especially in view of the fact that all the facts are completely known already), then I will retract my claim that you are an idiot! Until then you must live by your words, or retract same!

Although there may not have been any "direct relation" to the early break through the gate and the injury, you have to think that it is possible that after that, the horse is stressed, rattled and no longer focused. I feel that indirectly the horse was effected and should have not raced. Or at least it should have been considered. I found it quite greedy not to at least check him out thoroughly first.
Of course the jockey is going to say there was nothing wrong. HELLO, he would be partly the blame otherwise.

doug stewart!
the greed in this sport is the part of chuck's statement i agreed with, his being an idiot is just your opinion, of which i could care less as i don't know him. to think the early break and subsequent injury are not related in any way is naive on your part. as far as i have seen the vet never checked the horse after it broke early, i think that should at least be looked into.

Dante, Thanks for the welcome. I have been around the board for the last few months reading and thought i would join to add my feelings about the race.

Surgery commences for Barbaro
By JAY PRIVMAN
Surgery for Barbaro, the Kentucky Derby winner who was seriously injured in the Preakness Stakes on Saturday at Pimlico, began shortly after 12:30 p.m. Eastern time on Sunday at the George D. Widener Hospital for Large Animals at the University of Pennsylvania's New Bolton Center in Kennett Square, Pa.
Barbaro was taken to New Bolton on Saturday night, hours after suffering multiple fractures in his right hind leg.
On Saturday, it was announced that Barbaro had a fracture to the cannon bone above the ankle, and to the long pastern bone below the ankle. But shortly before the surgery on Sunday, Dr. Dean Richardson, the chief of surgery at New Bolton, said there were additional, serious injuries.
Specifically, Richardson said Barbaro also had a fractured sesamoid bone, and that the right hind ankle was dislocated at the fetlock joint. Richardson said he expected the surgery to take more than three hours.
"It's a very complicated procedure," Richardson said. "We'll be attempting to fuse the entire joint. I don't want to give any prognosis for success until further review during the surgery.
"It is very unusual to have three catastrophic injuries all together. I've never seen this exact fracture and I never tackled one before."
that does not sound good..

trytrytry said:good news. He is out of surgery, he has woken up and spent time in the bath. Then was taken out and did stand up on his own. even jumped a bit!
Still lots of healing to go but a good first step Barbaro....
Thanks for the info, Try. Let's hope for the best. The whole thing made me sick to my stomach. I hope he will make it through okay.
