A thought and don't take me wrong on this one.. Isn't it the TB way that it has to be only live cover?
And since Barbaro's back leg was broken he could not..? Do you think since this is the start of breeding season they might have been keeping him going hoping that he would get some breedings in before putting him down?

It is only a thought and was wondering if anyone else thought this.. or do you think they may have just collected with live, and then AI right there.?
