KENNETT SQUARE, Pa. -- Kentucky Derby winner Barbaro underwent day-long surgery Sunday to repair three broken bones in his right rear leg and afterward "practically jogged back to the stall," the colt's surgeon said.

"You do not see this severe injury frequently because the fact is most horses that suffer this typically are put down on the race track."
Dr. Dean Richardson

At this moment "he is extremely comfortable in the leg," said Dr. Dean Richardson, who stressed before the marathon procedure that he's never worked on so many catastrophic injuries to one horse.

Richardson gave the horse a "50-50" chance of survival due to the high risk of post-op infection. Barbaro will be given antibiotics as a method to stave off infection. But even if Barbaro does manage to avoid infection, the road to recovery will last months, Richardson said.



Jogged back to his stall?? As much as we are all rooting for him, makes you root just a little bit more....
