...wild." Unfortunately for Xiang Xiang, the tough-love approach only compounded his problems. In a subsequent encounter with a woods-wise cousin, Xiang Xiang tried to escape by climbing a tree. The hapless bear fell out and, from what rangers could gather over their monitors, probably broke a leg. Since then, Xiang Xiang hasn't been seen. Still, Zhang insists his charge had to be banished. "We did not want to keep Xiang Xiang because that would have shown our experiment had failed," Zhang says...
...unbridled joy for running--as the finest 3-year-old I had seen since Spectacular Bid in 1979.

The record crowd of 118,402 at Baltimore's Pimlico Race Course fell completely silent - many wept. He was rushed to a veterinary hospital in Pennsylvania, where fans sent flowers...
...between the bone and hoof separates, causing excruciating pain. Dean Richardson, Barbaro's surgeon, called the colt's prognosis "poor." But his left hind hoof, uninjured in the Preakness, continued to re-grow after surgery removed 80% of it. In November, a cast on Barbaro's shattered right hind leg was removed.
