I think it's illegal to do artifial breeding with thoughobred race horses.

sorry. i love barbaro too. but they NEVER should have changged the name of this race. this was the sir barton. sir barton is the first ever to win a triple crown. im outraged that they changed the race name from the first triple crown winner. to a horse who got hurt at the track. come on.

Jockey club (racing) Thoroughbreds are only allowed live cover. So no they didn't collect and freeze barbaros semen. they can't even clone them

[yankeesfan2006]

Does anyone know if they ever froze any of Barbaro's semen??

I was 20 feet from Chelokee when he hurt his foot.

And also watched him load on the trailer.

Thank God he's okay.

I love you Chelokee:)

It seems cruel doesn't it. Poor Michael Matz... At least Chelokee's outlook is good. The prognosis is not as bad as they originally thought. He might even get to breed.

Chelokee just fractured his right front condylar and dislocated his ankle. Wow, God be with you and your doctors, dear sweet Chelokee!

What are the chances he would also break down
