BARBARO: The Kentucky Derby winner had a custom-made cast removed and underwent a procedure on his right hind leg Saturday, the same leg the horse shattered eight months ago in the Preakness.
It is the first time in weeks the right hind leg has been the focus of concern. For months, it was the laminitis-stricken left hind leg that put Barbaro’s recovery in serious jeopardy as he fights for survival.
“They did some procedures on the one he originally injured,” co-owner Roy Jackson said Saturday night. “He had a little bit of a bruise, an abscess.”
Gail Luciani, a spokeswoman for the University of Pennsylvania’s veterinary school, would not confirm if a procedure was performed on Barbaro by chief surgeon Dean Richardson and had no additional comment.
Jackson’s wife and co-owner, Gretchen, told The Philadelphia Inquirer that Barbaro was again facing tough odds.
