Question
Who won the Kentucky Derby in 1969?
Answer
Barbaro (born April 29, 2003) is an American thoroughbred racehorse, who decisively won the 2006 Kentucky Derby and was a heavy favorite in the Preakness Stakes. On May 20, 2006, he suffered an injury shortly after the start of the race, as he fractured three bones in and around the ankle of his right hind leg. The next day, he underwent surgery at the New Bolton Center at the University of Pennsylvania for his leg injuries. After initially favorable reports regarding his recovery, Barbaro developed an infection in the broken leg in early July, followed quickly by a severe case of laminitis in the sound hind leg. Through the surgical removal of most of the laminitic hoof, aggressive pain management, and the use of a sling, Barbaro began a slow recovery. By September 26, 2006, Barbaro's prognosis was improving and his left hind hoof had grown about 18 millimeters in the heel. On November 6, 2006, the cast was removed and replaced with a bandage, a move that suggested that Barbaro's recovery was progressing well.
