A quick look at Kentucky Derby winner Barbaro and how he's progressing from lifesaving surgery at the New Bolton Center in Kennett Square, Pa.:

MEDICAL UPDATE: Dr. Dean Richardson said Wednesday that he is continuing his daily assessment of Barbaro's cast on his right hind leg. Barbaro continues to do well, and his vital signs and appetite remain good.

WHAT'S NEXT: Richardson will decide each morning whether to change the fiberglass cast that runs from Barbaro's right hock to hoof. It could happen soon, or in several weeks.

QUOTE: "The new excitement for the day was that he got a bath. He's been groomed daily but today he got a good soaping and he loved it." - Corinne Sweeney, executive director at the University of Pennsylvania's New Bolton Center.
