Last year’s Kentucky Derby winner Barbaro loses his eight-month battle for life when owners Roy and Gretchen Jackson determine there is simply too much pain from several different medical problems in play to ask the gallant colt to continue his ordeal following career-ending fractures in his right rear leg during the 2006 Preakness. Barbaro is put down in Kennett Square, Pennsylvania, where he had been receiving round-the-clock treatment by Dr. Dean Richardson at the University of Pennsylvania’s New Bolton Center.
