I had heard there were photos of Barbaro being stepped on out of the gate, 
but was never able to find any.
Does anyone have a link to this info?

Nothing takes away from the valient efforts of the horse and his handlers to 
over come the accident.

And I do heartily agree there are a lot of horses out there that may not be 
ideal for any kind of hard work.
