I found a few articles about Barbaro, if anyone is interested. Here is just a portion of the article, plus the address so you can copy and paste the URL and read the rest of it:
Barbaro's Health Encourages Trainer
Horse Remains In Stable Condition, But Odds Of Survival Still Not Great
KENNETT SQUARE, Pa., July 18, 2006
(AP) Barbaro trainer Michael Matz was encouraged Tuesday by the colt's recent stability in his health, though he noted the Kentucky Derby winner's condition could still turn at any time.
"He could take a turn for the worse or get an infection again, you just don't know," Matz said in a telephone interview. "It's just a slow road now. If he keeps having days like he's having now, then hopefully everything will be fine."

KENNETT SQUARE, Pa. (AP) - Barbaro's trainer knows better than to get his hopes up too high.
Though encouraged by the good reports on Kentucky Derby winner the last few days, Michael Matz knows that could change at any time.
"He could take a turn for the worse or get an infection again, you just don't know," Matz said in a telephone interview Tuesday. "It's just a slow road now. If he keeps having days like he's having now, then hopefully everything will be fine."

Barbaro Still Stable, But With Spring in His Step
Jul 17, 5:49 PM (ET)
By DAN GELSTON
KENNETT SQUARE, Pa. (AP) - Barbaro has a little spring in his sling.
The Kentucky Derby winner squirms in his own safety device, like a child trying to break free from a jumper, and he even sits on his damaged hind legs, the way dogs do when they beg for treats.
Those are encouraging signs for sure for the ailing 3-year-old colt. But the odds of Barbaro's full recovery from a severe case of laminitis and a reconstructed right hind leg are really no better than they were a week ago.
