Derby winner has developed laminitis in his opposite rear hoof.

Vaya con Dios, Barbaro. Hope you won't suffer for long. What a tough break for a great horse.

Can he recover from this?

From what I understand in this case it's unlikely.

You know its the dead of summer when half of Sportscenter is devoted to a news conference about a horse who didn't even get close to winning the TC.
Barboro treatment news conferences + the Baseball All Star Game +WNBA All Star Game=worst 3 days of ESPN ever.

Yeah, but if Barbaro was to croak, it would create the potential for the greatest sports newspaper headline of all time: "Johnny Fontane Gets Part In New Jack Woltz War Film".
