So sad. The fily came in 2nd place but broken both front ankles and they had to put her down right away

OMG I know I saw it. There is no coming back from that. Its so sad she was a great horse.

Re: Happy Kentucky Derby Day - 134th Running today

Way too sad. I can't believe they put her down right on the track!!!

Re: Happy Kentucky Derby Day - 134th Running today

At that point w/ both ankles fractured it was for the best. As sad as it seems there is no coming back from that injury

Re: Happy Kentucky Derby Day - 134th Running today

It was soo sad about Eight Belle

I know it's hard for a horse to recover from an injury like that...it was for the best..but still saddens me.
