Kentucky Derby winner Barbaro was euthanized Monday morning after complications from his breakdown at the Preakness last May.

"We just reached a point where it was going to be difficult for him to go on without pain," co-owner Roy Jackson said. "It was the right decision, it was the right thing to do. We said all along if there was a situation where it would become more difficult for him then it would be time."

"Somewhere...somewhere in time's own space
There must be some sweet pastured place
Where creeks sing on and tall trees grow
Some Paradise where horses go.
For by the love that guides my pen
I know great horses live again."
-Stanley Harrison

Wow, that's no damned good.

I thought the horse would survive too.

That's terrible. They said he was bright eyed, eating well and nipping at people just yesterday.

Just tried to post...very sad.

I wonder if he would have been able to cover a mare with the cast on his leg. Admittedly I know nothing of the sport, so I'm unsure if this would have violated any rules.
