Default barbaro latest
they applied a cast to his near hind, the one with laminitis. they're stabilizing the leg as much as possible in preparation for his move out of new bolton.
so, where's he going folks? what farm(s) is set up to deal with this horse--and will be willing to do so??

Probably the one closest to the equine hyperbaric chamber. I hope and pray.

They want him somewhere warm... where he can continue grazing... although the weather up North has been mild so far...

A friend of mine talked to Matz at the BC, and Matz said that they were considering moving Barbaro to FL.

The Breeders Cup was two months ago, so it's possible their plans have changed since then.

yeah, i've been reading all the news and knew they were interested in having him somewhere that he could still go outside--florida seemed like the number one choice to me. but it's not so much geography as farm at this point.
yeah, a lot of people would like to make the $$--but barbaro will take a whole lot of extra time, attention and effort.
from what i know--if it is florida--i think i'd approach padua. they are very good to their horses from all i've seen, one of the farms that engages in retraining horses that can't or won't make it to the track. i'm sure there are others.

I'll tell you, longterm these things will keep cropping up. He isn't a longshot anymore, but he isn't 2-5 to make it for the next 15 years either.

Hopefully he gets through this one like he did with his
other setbacks. Dealing with the hoof is a delicate subject

almost zero? i don't know that i would put it that low. about 8 in 10 stallions 'fail' as a sire. i don't know that barbaros odds would be better or worse due to his injury.
he'll get the best of care. if he can physically cover, he'll get the best mares. won't be a big book--but then, a lot of our all time best sires, horses like bold ruler and northern dancer, usually didn't even cover 50--but he'll get a GOOD book. they can give him a lot of help as far as actually doing 'the deed'....
