Even though he didn't show any signs if fatigue at all , you know he's got to be feeling yesterday and dealing w/ a degree of extreme dehydration for a long while to come . The live race broadcast (+ replays) and still photography show no hint of any prblems to watchout for next time . The horses lines , front & back , where all excellent while striding and did not appear to overstretch or overextened any joints or grab anything ( any vetrenarians out there ? ) but 2 weeks rest is insufficiant and not comencerate with that huge effort . My feeling is that Barbaro will not repeat that effort in the Preakness ...
