Big Brown takes it

Yeah I know I’m late reporting in, lol, but that’s OK with me. If fact, I recorded the race and just re-watched it again. Big Brown had only 3 previous starts and his 4th start was a big one. He was favored today and it showed. Could Big Brown be the next horse to win the Triple Crown? Maybe so.

However in spite of victory there is also bad news. Eight Belles after finishing second, went down while slowing down with 2 front broken ankles and they had to Euthanize the poor horse on the track. That is so sad. You hate to see that when it happens. My Uncle has a bunch of horses and I know if one of them ever had to have that done I’m sure we would be devastated, just like the current owners and trainer.

So on the sad note of Eight Belles, congrats to Big Brown on winning the Kentucky Derby by 5…

See you at the next track.

It’s Derby Day

It’s today, it’s actually here already. Time has flown by so quick, I didn’t even realize it till yesterday that is was today. It has felt like yesterday when I was in Seattle watching an Emerald Downs workout 1 week before opening day up there. And I still haven’t made it out to Lone Star Park yet to watch some live racing action.

Maybe we will go tomorrow since my uncle has 2 horses racing at Emerald Downs, and I can watch them from Lone Star Park on the big screens.

I hope today’s race is a really good one and I will be watching it on TV to see who has the stride to try and win the triple crown this year.  I really have no favorites at this time, but at last check Big Brown had the best odds to win.  Good luck Horses.!!!
