Barbaro

Someone please tell me ... why is Barbaro's health a sports story? According to this article, Barbaro is feeling better. How exactly do we know that a horse is feeling better and without pain? Did he tell the doctor that he's feeling better? He's been in the hospital for 8 months????? My goodness! I can't even imagine the hospital bill.
I'll leave you with the words from Mr. Ed's theme song. According to this song, Mr. Ed is the only horse that talks:

A horse is a horse, of course, of course,
And no one can talk to a horse of course
That is, of course, unless the horse is the famous Mister Ed.

Go right to the source and ask the horse
He’ll give you the answer that you’ll endorse.
He’s always on a steady course.
Talk to Mister Ed.

People yakkity yak a streak and waste your time of day
But Mr. Ed will never speak unless he has something to say

A horse is a horse, of course, of course,
And this one’ll talk ‘til his voice is hoarse.
You never heard of a talking horse?

Well listen to this: "I'm Mister Ed."
