AP Wire: PHILADELPHIA - "How's this for a breath of fresh air? Barbaro is enjoying daily outings outside his intensive care stall to pick his own grass, enjoy the warm weather and stretch his recovering legs.
Barbaro stepped outside his ICU stall and started daily walks on a grassy area near the unit last week for the first time since having catastrophic injuries in the Preakness nearly three months ago. The Kentucky Derby winner, also recovering from a severe case of laminitis on his left hoof, continues to show signs he's on the road to recovery."
They go on to caution that he's not in the clear yet, but his prognosis is amazingly better than it was even mid-July, when the vets didn't think he was going to make it through the month.
