am I nuts?

Those were some damn good anesthesiologists keeping that horse alive through all those surgeries!!

I guess when you worth millions and can earn millions you'll get the best!
I wondered if they stored/froze his siemen.I have seen stories on Real Sports and Dirty Jobs how this is a huge money making business, for thorough-bread owners of retired / injured winning race horses.

I thought they were keeping him alive so that they could nurse his leg back to health to breed him. I'm curious if they can do IVF now that you say you've seen this done before.

You're not nuts. I was sad too. I thought that just a couple of days before they put him down the owner said that he was confident he'd recover and he sees no reason to put him down.

I was really sad about this when he first got injured and was keeping track of his progress. And now I'm obviously really sad he didn't make it; however, I think they did the right thing considering he was in pain. Poor guy.

There's no way I could get a pet. I got attached to horse I never even saw in person!

Thanks for finding this article, Cheri.
Before I read this, I was thinking they could have cloned Barbaro.
