Barbaro still in stable condition
KENNETT SQUARE, Pa. - Barbaro has a little spring in his sling.
The Kentucky Derby winner squirms in his own safety device, like achild trying to break free from a jumper, and he even sits on hisdamaged hind legs, the way dogs do when they beg for treats.
Those are encouraging signs for sure for the ailing 3-year-oldcolt. But the odds of Barbaro's full recovery from a severe case oflaminitis and a reconstructed right hind leg are really no betterthan they were a week ago.
"It is important for people to understand this is not a 'routine'laminitis," Dr. Dean Richardson said Monday in a statement. "The careinvolved in treating a hoof with this degree of compromise iscomplex."
Barbaro's condition was stable Monday, his vital signs, appetite("usual voracious style") and heart rate were normal after anothercomfortable night.
