Oh No Barbaro!

Well the Preakness definitely didn’t go as planned. I, and most of the world, were looking for Barbaro to win. I bet several exactas with Barbaro over the assorted likely contenders, and had just a few other bets that didn’t include Barbaro. I had a bad feeling from the moment Barbaro broke out of the gate early. He was loaded back in pretty smoothly though and it seemed like maybe all would be ok. Then the unthinkable happened.. just a few strides out of the starting gate something was obviously terribly wrong and the jockey Prado pulled up and stopped him. Trainer Matz was shown running out of the stands to go attend to his horse. The race continued.. For a short moment it looked like one of my few bets that didn’t involve Barbaro, the Like Now - Sweetnorthernsaint exacta might pull through for a nice payday, but it wasn’t to be as Like Now faded all the way to second to last of the horses that finished.
