A quick look at Kentucky Derby winner Barbaro and how he’s progressing from lifesaving surgery and a severe case of laminitis at the University of Pennsylvania’s New Bolton Center in Kennett Square, Pa.:

Medical update: Barbaro’s condition remained unchanged and he slept well after his left hind bandage was changed Tuesday. Barbaro’s heart rate is consistently normal now, a good indication that he is stable and comfortable, according to Dean Richardson, the chief surgeon attending the Kentucky Derby winner.

Quote: “I’m happy with the appearance of this foot, which is doing as well as can be expected,” Richardson said Wednesday morning. “Over the last several days, his temperature has been normal and his blood work has significantly improved, suggesting that the infection in his right hind is under control.”

Keep it up Barbaro!!
