Barbaro remains stable
Kentucky Derby (G1) winner BARBARO (Dynaformer) remains in stable condition,
according to Dr. Dean Richardson, chief of surgery at the University of
Pennsylvania's New Bolton Center.
The colt's left hind foot, which has laminitis, is being closely monitored
for signs of infection. He developed the life-threatening condition shortly
after undergoing a second surgery on July 8 to repair his injured right hind
leg, which he shattered during the early stages of the May 20 Preakness S. (G1).
"We change his left hind foot bandage daily, and it looks good," Richardson
said Tuesday. "His right hind leg also looks good, and his appetite remains
strong."
Barbaro remains in the Intensive Care Unit of the George D. Widener Hospital
for Large Animals at the University of Pennsylvania's New Bolton Center in
Kennett Square.
