Barbaro fractured three bones in his off hind leg during the 2006 Preakness Stakes at the end of May. This sort of injury has a poor prognosis because a horse's legs are so fragile. When one is unable to take any weight - such as when it is fractured - the leg opposite it or on the same side often collapses because it has to support all of the horse's weight. A less valuable horse would possibly have been euthanised immediately. However, Barbaro would have been a very valuable stallion. The vets operated to repair the injured leg. The surgery was successful; however in July he developed laminitis in his near hind leg. He underwent five more operations and spent a very long time in the equine Intensive Care unit. When he subsequently developed laminitis in both front legs his owners made the difficult decision to put him down.
