Barbaro Update

[skipaway]

For those who are interested, I thought I'd bring the Barbaro Updates to Goldenskates until FSU is up and running again.

Apparently, Sunday night was a good night for him. He's still doing well, with stable vital signs. I'll keep an eye on anything that changes.


Good Horse... ( sad to see there's no Saint smilie )

Thanks for bringing over the Barbaro updates. I know there are some GS posters who are fans of horse racing, so I think (hope) there will be interest here as well.

That's great. I've been watching him since the Preakness. He's overcome so much - I just hope he makes it all the way back. {fingers crossed}

I feel kind of close to Barbaro right now - I have been sick for about two months. I hope he pulls through. Thanks for the update.

This came up out of curiosity, ad I hate to see any animal suffer - pain is relative.
I heard that the proceeds from the ultimate mint Julep ($1000) served at the Kentucky Derby goes to the retired hoses foundation - or something along those lines?

That's good! I thought things were probably fine, since there haven't been any updates on the news here.

Ladskater, I hope you feel better soon.

That's true, Seanibu. Here's the story

Good horse, and good skipaway for giving updates.

[Mevrouw]

Ladskater: so sorry to hear you have been sick for all that time. I hope you are recovering and feeling better.

Barbaro had a "comfy night" and slept well last night. He's still in stable but serious condition.

Thanks!

With one-of-a-kind ingredients, including a personal selection of Woodford Reserve bourbon, mint from Morocco, sugar from the South Pacific and Arctic water, this exotic cocktail will be presented in a gold-plated cup and keepsake case. A limited supply of mint juleps, 50 in total, will be produced, and a select number of these will be available for pre-order. All proceeds from the mint julep sales will go to Green Pastures, a non-profit organization which benefits retired thoroughbreds.

Glad to hear Barbaro is still "hanging in there." I hope there is no pain for the guy.

Here is today's update from NBC:

He had his Left Hind bandage changed yesterday and it looks as good as can be expected. Also, his bloodwork looks good too.

Good Horse.....

Three cheers for Barbaro. This is great news indeed.
