Just got done watching the Derby….The Run for the Roses….it was a good race until it ended… We were pulling for Eight Bellies and you could see that couldn’t catch Big Brown but she did very well…then she broke both her front ankles. =( For those who followed what happened to Barbaro, leg breaks are pretty much a death sense for a horse…..and that is what it was for her, she was euthanized right on the track after collapsing. Of course, I’m still crying…….it is HORRIBLE to see a horse go down….I still can’t handle the replays on Barbaro’s break.
Hopefully, there will be no tragedies in the Preakness and Belmont.
