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."

I don't think that's allowed, is it?

Really? The reports I saw this weekend said he was in a lot of pain. I think they did the right thing, but so sorry they had to do it.

Everything that could have been done was. It's amazing how much energy, time, and money went into Barbaro.

How sad! He had heart, though, and that's how he lasted this long. A brave little horse, and I'm glad they didn't put him through surgery again.

Sold to the French? A great horse deserves a better fate. Bury him at Churchill Downs. France already has enough horse's asses.

sperm on ice somewhere They can make nice horses but are not allowed not to breed thoroughbreds artificially

You would probably wind up with a spectacular horse, but it would not be eligible for racing nor would any of it's offspring.

That was poorly edited - they are not allowed to breed thoroughbreds artificially.

You would probably wind up with a spectacular horse, but it would not be eligible for racing nor would any of it's offspring. Why is that (I am asking the question honestly). What is the difference between that and putting him out to stud?
Is there a rule that it has to happen "naturally?"

He must have taken a turn for worse and been sufferring.
I know they did what they felt was the best for Barbaro.
