Very sad. I bet on Big Brown but it was hard to enjoy.

So sad. (5.00 / 1) (#20)

Seeing that horse suffer on the track at the end of the most famous race in the world was hard thing to watch.

My thoughts are with her owners, trainer, jockey, and handlers.

There was very awkward moment shortly after the race ended. NBC interviewed the track doctor and he broke the news to the viewing audience that the filly had suffered a devastating injury and had to be euthanized. When he said it I felt sick to my stomach. Not ten seconds later NBC cuts to the camera crew following the entourage of the winning owner and they're overjoyed and basking in victory. Very poor timing by the director in the TV booth.
