I am not a Vet nor am I a trainer, but I have been a horse owner for many years. Barbaro's injury is most likely not a "genetic" issue and if he survives he would probably have great genes for future race horses. HOWEVER, if he does survive, I would be concerned about his ability to mount mares with a bad right rear leg. In Thoroughbred racing, artificial insem is prohibited.
