 BALTIMORE (AP) - The scene will be familiar enough, maybe too much so. When the gate bursts open to start the Preakness Stakes on Saturday, the horse charging out of the No. 6 post will be a handsome bay colt. Only this time, it won't be Barbaro, even if it might seem that way.
After all, images of last year's race are still superimposed on the minds of many.
"No way you don't see Barbaro coming out of that starting gate, coming down that track," said Scott Palmer, a veterinarian who rushed to Barbaro's side when the Kentucky Derby winner pulled up seconds after the start, his right rear leg flaring out grotesquely.
