What a tragic day it was. I didn't watch it but heard about her passing.
This is absolutely heartbreaking. It's so easy to get caught up in the pageantry and glamor of the derby, especially being a Kentuckian, but this year has left me completely numb. The horses may be treated like royalty ( unlike Greyhounds) but this is still a huge strain on these beautiful creatures.
I'm sorry, Rebecca, I don't follow the Kentucky Derby...it seems that this horse has passed away?
If so, that is sad news, and I'm sorry....The horse in these photos is quite beautiful...
Lavinia, she came in second at the derby and no sooner did she cross the finish line, she collapsed with two shattered ankles. She was euthanized right there on the track. It was horrible. She was so beautiful and the only filly running this year.
What a sad, sad story. And such a gorgeous animal, too. I'm so sorry to hear about this tragedy, Rebecca.
Rebecca...I could hardly believe what I was hearing...This beautiful Philly gave it all she had and then some..so sad... Our youngest rode horses while growing up...she competed Hunter Jumper...these gentle giants give it all they have when competing...A sad day at the Derby...
DeeDee...It was an absolute nightmare..She gave it her all and literally ran the race of her life...
Hi, I receive notices from google whenever my family name TenBroeck is mentioned and received this one:
His father-in-law, Richard Ten Broeck, was an accomplished horse breeder and trainer, and introduced Clark to horse racing, attending the English Derby at Epsom Downs outside London.
