Goodbye, Barbaro

A sad event happened today. Barbaro, the racehorse that broke his leg last year during the Preakness, was put to sleep today due to complications from the injury.

Here is the story from CNN.

I'm so sad. I was really rooting for him to make it. I checked the University of Pennsylvania's web site where they house the Barbaro updates just this morning. It sounded pretty serious, but I was hoping he would pull through.

Sleep well, Barbaro. You fought a valiant fight. You will be welcomed at the Rainbow Bridge.

I was really rooting for him to make it. He put up a valiant fight. I guess he tried harder than many other animals would under similar conditions. God speed, Barbaro!
