Answer 2

No, he was put down months ago, very sad :(

Answer 3

unfortunately not...  i can't believe you didn't know...  it was pretty big news.

He developed laminitis in his hind left foot last July after breaking his right leg.  Then everything went remarkably well for the rest of the year.  Barbaro's broken leg healed so much that they removed the cast and he could walk around without it.  Then January gave him some extra problems.  He got an absess in his right hind hoof which is incredibly painful.  because of that and his hind left laminitis, he put more weight on his front legs... which caused laminitis in both of them.  So the horse was left with 4 painful legs.  They did what he could, but he had a bad night on January 28...  he was too uncomfortable to sleep or lie down...  so they put him down on January 29th in the morning after a nice final graze in a green field.

Here's an article.  http://sports.espn.go.com/sports/horse/n...  I really like the video on this page...  it's the second one "Barbaro loses struggle for survival"

melissa, the special has been moved to tomorrow at 8 on nbc...  fyi...  you'll figure it out anyway when you turn it on tonight to find poker

No, he was euthanized after he was put through rehab for several months. The saddest part of the whole thing is he had an awesome chance to win the Triple Crown...
