...Eight Belles ran her heart out, and despite her front ankles breaking down, she still finished 2nd. I could tell she was hurting with about 1/16th to go, but she wouldn't quit.

That being said, Big Brown was just a Monster Horse. The acceleration out of the turn into the stretch was like putting the horse into overdrive.

you hate seeing that. But Big Brown was very impressive. I didnt think he could do it from the outside spot. Makes ya think the triple crown is possible.
having to put that horse down at the end sucked pretty bad. i wonder if PETA ever harasses the horse stable folks. they sure love to harass MSU vet school and me and my hunting buddies.
the tripple crown talk has begun for big brown. it's almost like when tiger wins a major. </p>
