They didnt show lost in the fog rolling around on the ground in pain because of the chemo, they should give Barbaro the same respect. Nobody wants to see a horse break its leg one time, nonetheless 100 times. Sickening.

i have never watched a preakness replay. can't do it. i remember the actualy race-i've said this before, when he pulled up my first thought was 'no contest'-like they couldn't finish if he couldn't. then i realized they were still running-and i couldn't say who did what thru the running. i only kept it on to find out what was going on with barbaro. they showed the head on replay after the race, and that is the last footage i've ever seen. i hate seeing the pictures. it ticked me off that the front page of the paper here showed him standing on three legs with edgar at pimlico. thankfully the sports page ran his derby runaway photo. THAT is how i want to remember him. winning-with others struggling along in his wake.
