Animals truly are men's best friends.That is why Monday, January 29, 2007 is a sad day in the sports world. Philly Park's own Kentucky Derby victor Barbaro lost his long fight for survival today, and was euthanized.
"We just reached a point where it was going to be difficult for him to go on without pain," co-owner Roy Jackson said. "It was the right decision, it was the right thing to do. We said all along if there was a situation where it would become more difficult for him then it would be time."
Team owners Roy and Gretchen Jackson, along with chief surgeon Dean Richardson, met on Monday morning to make a decision.
The Phanatic's Jared Trexler will have his look at Barbaro's life in the coming hours.
