it was both her front ankles, she was so
amazing! She showed those colts!

This was sent to me by a good friend"
The derby yesterday- I watched it over and
over, and I think I saw the moment Eight
Belles was injured. In the homestretch, after
Big Brown passed her, her head suddenly jerks
sharply to the right, and she starts to fade
right, a little at a time. Tragic- she was
possibly the equal of the great
Ruffian..."

i heard that several horses were euthanized
that die at the same track because of broken
legs. there's an investigation going on to
see if it was the condition of the track.

people need to stop looking at the track
surface -which may be the end cause but is
certainly not the main ones.

The trainer feels the jerking head during the
race was not the moment of injury, and that
she exhibited this behaviour before in other
races. Maybe.
