For those that are interested, Barbaro went into surgery this afternoon, and 7 hours later, he is said to be “extremely comfortable in the leg.” The biggest hurdle now is avoiding an infection in the leg. It does say something that almost all cases of injuries this bad never make it to the surgery table, but rather euthanized right there at the track. Doctors give Barbaro a 50/50 shot at recovery currently. We will keep you updated on his condition, and hopefully, his recovery.
