BALTIMORE — Kentucky Derby winner Barbaro broke down at the start of the Preakness on Saturday, galloping only a few hundred yards when his right rear leg flared out and he veered sideways while his eight rivals passed him.The hushed crowd of more than 100,000 at Pimlico Race Course watched as jockey Edgar Prado pulled the colt to a stop and jumped off. With Barbaro still on the track and running on three legs, there wasn't much enthusiasm for the finish, especially with many of the fans in tears.Bernardini won the $1 million race, beating Sweetnorthernsaint by 5 1-4 lengths.Barbaro was diagnosed with a fracture above and below his ankle.Barbaro underwent more than five hours of surgery at the University of Pennsylvania's New Bolton Center for Large Animals on Sunday to repair the broken bones. Dr. Dean Richardson said the horse calmly awoke from anesthesia and "practically jogged back to his stall" for something to eat.His survival is still 50-50.
