Bluegrass Cat, Brother Derek, Showing Up and Lawyer Ron weren't GREAT...but they were pretty good horses and Barbaro handled them pretty easily that day.
Several people on here seem to be assuming that the gate incident directly led to the injury. We don't really know that do we? It certainly
could have played a role but sometimes horses just take a bad step.
