I am so, so glad I didn't see the Derby yesterday. I heard on the news last night that this horse broke both of her front ankles and was euthanised on the track. I cannot imagine how awful that must have been. There were many people there because of the Kentucky Derby. All I could think of was Barbaro. I don't know that much about horse racing but this just breaks my heart. Would they not have known beforehand that she had such fragile ankles, and kept her out of the race? When I was in high school one of our family vacations was Kentucky and we took a driving tour, saw some of the gorgeous farms with horses in the pastures. They were beautiful. Run at the Bridge, precious horse.
