Maybe TVG can do some investigative work on what may have led to Barbaro's career ending injury. Gary Stevens is on the payroll, was at Pimlico Saturday, and should be able to expound on what Prado was doing. Maybe he can explain why the assistant starter was unable to prevent "Barbaro at the Gate". Let the talking heads at TVG get complete tapes from Gulfstream Park and Churchill Downs and examine Barbaro's pre-race warm ups for his previous three races, and see if his pre-race Preakness was the norm, or tell tale signs of a horse not reading to run.
I would imagine Matz, Prado, et.al, will be making statements sometime this week in regards to the whole matter. I'll hold judgement until then.
