Q: What's the latest on Kentucky Derby winner Barbaro, who shattered a leg in the Preakness?
A: "The fractured right hind leg healed so well, he was out of his cast and walking daily," says Dr. Dean Richardson of the University of Pennsylvania, Barbaro's chief surgeon. "But he developed a condition in his left hind hoof requiring surgery on Jan. 13. Since then, his comfort has improved, and he's stable."
Well, I guess they're technically right. Barbaro's condition is stable. It's certainly not going to get better or worse, since he was euthanized on January 29.
I read parts of Parade most Sundays. It's always seemed a little out of sync with current events, and I've wondered how much in advance of publication Parade was prepared. It appears it's at least two weeks.
A link to an apology from the editors of Parade is here.
