Re: [RC] Barbaro - steelsidedownI agree - very, very, muscular guy - and did you see the attitude displayed before the race? He "knew" the game, and "knew" he could win -- Mind over Matter. Had an endurance horse like that, he broke, strained, and sprained most everything on his body!Jen ----- Original Message ----- From: "Bruce Weary DC" <bweary@xxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <ridecamp@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Monday, July 17, 2006 12:47 PM Subject: [RC] Barbaro I don't think anyone can know for sure, but, and this is just a guess, sometimes those young horses develop muscle power that exceeds their bone development. This, combined with an adrenaline driven acceleration at world class speed and maybe a misstep can cause fracture/dislocation. Remember Ruffian? I always like to remember that she was in the lead when she broke her leg. Many people think she would have won that race. I like to think so, too.
