Barbaro suffers life threatening injury at Preakness
Jockeys and crowd watched as Barbaro broke down with a severe right hind leg fracture on the Pimlico track. Dr. Larry Bramlage called the injury life threatening and surgery was planned at the University of Pennsylvania New Bolton Center in Kennett Square. Trainer Michael Matz and owner Gretchen Jackson expressed hope for salvage while noting the dream of a possible stallion career may end. Bernardini later won the Preakness with Castellano aboard, the race marking a sad day as fans mourned the horse’s injury.
