Ah, that sucks.

Just this morning I heard an interview with his Vet. He said that Barbaro was still eating and bright-eyed, and did not look like a horse in pain or ready to give up.

I heard the same interview. The "bright-eyed" comment stuck with me. The vet was basically saying that even though the horse was going through all this crap, it was in good spirits.

I wonder if they get an insurance payout now that he's dead?

Was Barbaro a stallion, gelding or mare? I honestly don't know, but, if a stallion, I assume he was thoroughly milked prior to having been put down...

Stallion. The reason for the heroic efforts, I think, was his stud value. Almost as valuable as yours, 'Spode.
