"Down The Stretch They Come"

The 134th Kentucky Derby was an exciting one. One of the favorites Big Brown pulled through with a 5 length finish. Big Brown was the first horse to win the derby in the 20th position since 1929. However after this victory tragedy struck. The second place winner Eight Belles collapsed after finishing the race. Moments after Eight Belles fell doctors rushed to the scene. Eight Belles broken both its front ankles. This fatal injury resulted in Eight Belles being euthanized. This was a sad way to end the most exciting two minutes in all of sports.
