here is an update and some video coverage
Quote:
Barbaro was sedated and backed off the van from the track without putting any weight on the leg, reported another vet, Nick Meittinis. "After we X-rayed the leg and found what it consisted of, we put a very large padded bandage on him, and the entire time the bandage went on, he never moved a muscle."
Track veterinarian Dan Dreyfuss was the one who put the splint on, on the track.
"I saw an unstable right hind leg," Dreyfuss said.
