No Triple Crown Winner This Year
Summary
The hopes for a Triple Crown winner have been dashed as the Kentucky Derby champion cannot compete in the Belmont Stakes due to an unfortunate accident during the Preakness Stakes.
Article
This year, the dream of a Triple Crown winner has ended. The Kentucky Derby victor, Barbaro, is unable to compete in the Belmont Stakes following a severe injury at the Preakness Stakes.
Barbaro suffered a catastrophic injury, shattering his right rear leg during the Preakness. The 2006 Derby champion is now recovering under constant supervision in a specialized stall. A dedicated team of three veterinarians is providing round-the-clock care.
Every day, Barbaro undergoes thorough health checks, including temperature, heart, and blood assessments. His feet, fiberglass cast, and custom-designed left hind shoe are carefully examined. He also receives medication and takes gentle walks around his new environment. Every six hours, a condensed examination is conducted by a vet, nurse, or medical student to monitor his condition.
Barbaro, expected to be the next Triple Crown champion after his stunning Derby performance on May 6, suffered a devastating leg injury just two weeks later. Following the accident, he was swiftly transported by horse ambulance to the University of Pennsylvania's New Bolton Center.
The following day, Barbaro underwent a five-hour surgery to mend three broken bones, which required a metal plate and 27 screws.
Additionally, Preakness Stakes winner Bernardini will not participate in the Belmont Stakes as his owner has decided the horse needs rest. This marks the first time since 2000 that both the Kentucky Derby and Preakness Stakes winners will miss the Belmont Stakes, eliminating any chance of a Triple Crown victor this year.
