Lucky! I want to go sooo badly, but unfortunately it's a little difficult considering I live in BC.  I probably won't be able to watch it this year either. Does anyone know who the favorite is? I heard it on the radio this morning but now I can't remember. I believe the odds were 3:1. |

Big Brown won!!!!!! But on a very sad note, Eight Belles broke both front ankles after she placed second and had to be euthanized.......... |

I know. Did anyone see it happen? As soon as stuff like that happens I don't see how others can be happy. That is HORRIBLE. I am almost on tears. Thats why I have my horses in safer sports. Even though there is the thrill, the horses with the heart to win will run themselves to death. |

this post has been edited 1 time(s) *sigh* I know, they try so hard. Did you see how far ahead she was of the other horses though? I really wouldn't be all that surprised if something happened to her heart than she fell and broke her ankles. Edit- Just wanted to add that my mom noticed that in one of the replays when they were focusing on Big Brown, you could see Eight Belles starting to go down. |
