Saturday May 4 marked the anual kentucky derby. it is a race of the best horses in the country. This year the 5-2 favorite to win, Big Brown, bested the competition despite being inexperienced. Tragedy struck unfortunatly this year when the runner up Filly Eight Belles crossed the finish line, collapsed and broke both front ankles. The injures inevitably forced the owners to euthanize the horse on the spot. This was the first time since 1974 that a horse had to be put down on the track.
