~Triumph and Tragedy~
Elation...immediately followed by sorrow. I am heartsick. My pick for Kentucky Derby winner, "EIGHT BELLES", the only filly in the race finished an amazing and admirable second place. However, immediately after completion of the race, she inexplicably stumbled then fell, which resulted in injuries too severe to survive culminating with her euthanization on the track. In the process of running her little heart out in a field of "big boys" and leaving 18 of 20 in her dust, she broke both front ankles. The track vets stated that they had never seen breakage of this sort in more than one leg and there was no other alternative but to "put her down" since it would be impossible for her to stand. She was born in Kentucky and as a colt, grazed upon the limestone-rich bluegrass for which our beautiful Commonwealth is widely renown.
Congrats to winner, "BIG BROWN" who is also Kentucky bred. Gladly, he gave his heart to winning the race. Sadly, "EIGHT BELLES" gave her life.
Update: Please also see Roy's outdoors2.stumbleupon.com [outdoors2.stumbleupon.com] page for a touching and fitting tribute to all horses, including "EIGHT BELLES".
More later, am in a meditative/reflective state at present...
