BALTIMORE (AP) -- Kentucky Derby winner Barbaro broke down at the start and broke the hearts of racing fans as Bernardini went on to win the $1 million Preakness Stakes on Saturday.

The horrifying scene occurred in the first few hundred yards after the field of nine horses broke from the starting gate.

Barbaro was in the middle of the pack when he suddenly dropped back under Edgar Prado. The colt was favoring his right rear leg


its a shame i hope they can atleast save himSad

Mark, I saw it and it looked quite bad. But even if it's a break, I would think that it wouldn't be necessary to put him down.
