BARBARO PRESS CONFERENCE THIS MORNING

[slew]

Per Tim Woolley site:

Update 211: A press conference is scheduled for Tthursday 11 am. Jeannine Edwards (ESPN) e-mailed me the following:

the presser is tomorrow at 11am. you can put on the site that sportscenter and espn news will be covering it.... no times yet, but it will be on the 6pm SC, and of course earlier on espn news during the day. they are flying a producer in from dallas to work with me tomorrow.

I'm hearing on the other boards that there will be no terrible news to report. Just bringing everyone up to speed.

I just so hope it is an Update press release and not bad news!!
I'm nearly holding my breath until I hear the outcome.

Not terribly bad, but not terribly good either. Common Barbaro

I dunno, "catastrophic laminitis" sounds pretty bad to me, or did I read someone who had misquoted?

[ZenRider]

Hay, I did say not terribly good too. I said not terribly bad, because I was really expecting them to say they had just put him down.
I posted that when I was watching the conference. I don't remember him saying Catastrophic Laminitis, though I did miss the beginning of the conference. Even so, it really doesn't sound good.
What did sound good, is he's still eating good and showing interest in all that is around him. Of course that is what makes the decision so hard for the Vets and the owners. Here is a horse that is so worth saving, going through such complications. Ugh. What a nightmare for all involved.
Trying to keep hope.

Prayers for Barbaro.

Jingles, too!

I don't trust the newspapers anymore, I go to the site. I've read so many articles where the writers take quotes from previous conferences and such, then place them in the article just so that it looks like it came from the same one; basically being very "creative" in how they write an article.
