Staff Q&A/Two employees at the New Bolton Center talk about the drawings, get-well cards and dozens of flowers sent to one very famous patient. “Barbaro did receive a wedding invitation a couple weeks ago.” When Kentucky Derby winner Barbaro broke bones above and below his ankle at the Preakness on May 20, both Pat Hall and Carol Sheets knew he would be rushed to Penn’s New Bolton Center in Kennett Square, Pa. “I just knew Barbaro was coming here because we’re the best.
