2008 Kentucky Derby (don't merge me)

[BB73]

This thread has been recreated - it was lost in a merge, since the other thread had an earlier start time.

The odds haven't been changed - they are better than Vegas odds as of last night, and will remain fixed. But if you bet on a horse that gets scratched, that's your tough luck.

Time for my Nouveau vRiche ass to start playing the ponies.

THe filly eight Belles is down. I thought I saw a huge clot of horses at the start. They are saying she broke both front ankles.

Yep, she finished 2nd then fell and was immediately euthanized. Very sad.

I've watched this horse race twice (2006 and 2008) and each time a horse has died. I'm done watching it.

If all the horses survive in 2009 I recommend the above for a "posthumous GPA"

Seriously, a tragic turn of events - the rider said he heard a pop and tried to rein her in - but the damage was likely already done.

Laughing my ass off at the media talking about a "tragedy" Yeah, dead horse...BFD. Good riddance.

I agree. Crying about the deserved death of an animal is just juvenile.
