KENNETT SQUARE, PA —

Kentucky Derby winner Barbaro continues to gradually improve. “Barbaro’s comfort level is improving steadily, and we are gradually tapering off his pain medication,” said Dr. Dean W. Richardson, Chief of Surgery. “His vital signs are stable, and his appetite is good.”

Barbaro remains in the Intensive Care Unit of Penn’s George D. Widener Hospital at New Bolton Center.

The next update will be posted on Wednesday, January 24, unless there is a significant change in Barbaro’s condition.
