According to Chief of Surgery Dean Richardson, DVM, Dipl. ACVS, Kentucky Derby winner Barbaro slept well after his left hind foot bandage was changed yesterday. "I’m happy with the appearance of this foot, which is doing as well as can be expected," said Richardson.

His heart rate is also consistently normal now, a good indication that he is stable and comfortable
