Kentucky Derby winner and major contender for the Preakness Stakes, Barbaro, caught the public’s attention as he fractured his right hind leg within seconds after leaving the starting gate during the 131^st Preakness Stakes. If you are like many devoted fans of horse racing, the incident that occurred during the Preakness Stakes on May 20 was certainly one that touched horse lovers’ hearts worldwide.
