Arndrake Posted May 3, 2008 Share Posted May 3, 2008 Big Brown, the favorite, even though he had to start from the 20th post, was able to win the Derby. He ran great and accelerated out of the final turn. He could be the next Triple Crown winner, but we'll have to see how he handles the Preakness. I have a feeling he may have no trouble in the Belmont. Sadly, the #2 finisher, Eight Belles, had an accident after the finish and broke both her front legs. She had to be euthanized on the track. She had such a great chance of winning and obviously ran a great race herself to finish 2nd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liquidcrystalcompass Posted May 3, 2008 Share Posted May 3, 2008 Yeah. It's very sad because you know that she must have a heart to be in the position to run at the Kentucky Derby. The only Filly in the field went down on what seems to be a freak injury(s). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it is a similar formula used for most animals. My ex wife had to have her dog put down last month. She said the injection consisted of the same chemical used for general anesthesia, but in a stronger dose, which suggests it is a really strong sedative. That way the animal goes to sleep, feels no pain, and their heart and brain shut down. I'm sure for a horse, it would be a very strong dose.

Arndrake Posted May 4, 2008 Author Share Posted May 4, 2008 btw, regarding the Theisman injury, the scene I will always remember after LT made the tackle was that he was immediately up and signalling for the medics to get in there. He knew he had hurt Joe horribly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
