It doesn't look good for the big guy.
Barbaro Takes a Bad Turn

Kentucky Derby winner Barbaro suffered another significant setback over the weekend, and his fight for survival may have reached a critical point. After Barbaro developed a deep abscess in his right hind foot, surgery was performed Saturday to insert two steel pins in a bone, one that was shattered but now healthy, to eliminate all weight bearing on the ailing foot.

Apparently, there are problems in both rear legs now, and the surgery can have the side-effect of worsening conditions in the front legs.
