Barbaro Update

[aaronbees]

Tim Woolley, a trainer at Fair Hill like Michael Matz, has been offering great updates on his condition. Barbaro had another good night after really being through the wringer this past week-and-a-half. What this horse has been through with such a stellar, smart attitude just amazes me every day. It's not just his doctors, caretakers and friends who are giving him a fighting chance at survival; it's himself, too, and that's absolutely critical if he's to make it. It looks like Barbaro has even taken a fancy to his sling.

Update 250: Just had to add this article: Trainer: Barbaro 'In Good Frame of Mind' (thanks Karla). As I noted in update 248, Peter met with a reporter this morning after his visit, and the story seems out already (that's the internet for you). His quote is similar to what Peter told me over the phone five minutes later no doubt:

"He had another good night, " Brette said. "He's doing fine. He's in a good frame of mind."

Brette, who exercised the colt daily for trainer Michael Matz, has been visiting Barbaro almost every day since the colt shattered his right hind leg at the Preakness Stakes on May 20.

Barbaro's condition was stable through Saturday, and Brette seemed more upbeat than he was last week.
