5/3/2008 6:37:41 PM

Woodford Reserve, the official bourbon of the Kentucky Derby.

It's pretty damn good too.

5/3/2008 6:39:21 PM

WHOA

WHILE SHE WAS STILL ON THE TRACK

Quote :

"LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) - Big Brown backed up his trainer's boasts with an explosive finishing kick and won the Kentucky Derby on Saturday—a day marred by the fatal breakdown of the filly Eight Belles. The cheers for the winner's decisive victory were cut short when Eight Belles, the runner-up, was euthanized on the track minutes after the race when she collapsed with two broken front ankles. The unbeaten Big Brown took charge when the 20-horse field turned for home. Under the urging of jockey Kent Desormeaux, Big Brown cruised to a 4 3/4-length victory to become the seventh unbeaten Derby winner with his fourth consecutive win. The last one was Barbaro in 2006. Eight Belles was attempting to become the fourth filly to win the Derby. However, as the horses galloped out around the first turn, the filly fell to the ground and jockey Gabriel Saez jumped off. An equine ambulance came onto the track, but the filly could not be saved, said Dr. Larry Bramlage, the Derby's on-call veterinarian. "When we passed the wire I stood up. She started galloping funny. I tried to pull her up. That's when she went down," a distraught Saez said."

5/3/2008 6:55:39 PM

damn they had to motherfucking kill the horse???

5/4/2008 12:42:13 AM

yeah man, thats one of the most painful things ever

times 2

at once

5/4/2008 12:48:09 AM

it had a broken ankle

you don't just come back from a broken ankle

i remember on time i sprained mine and it was all i could do pretend it didn't hurt so the doctor wouldn't kill me

it was a scary time

5/4/2008 12:50:00 AM

OMG SEABISCUIT DID


didn't he?

5/4/2008 12:59:52 AM

I had money on #10. I lost my money.


we were drinking mint juleps though so I wasn't sad.


until the mare broke her ankles...


then I was sad.

5/4/2008 3:58:14 AM

Most years I am excited to watch the Kentucky Derby this year I was too,

until about a minute after it ended.

Then it was a sad event.

Reminds me of the Ikilledadog sled race.

[Edited on May 4, 2008 at 4:26 AM. Reason : ]

5/4/2008 4:26:02 AM

Yea, pretty sad that they had to put a horse down, esp. after such a huge race.

5/4/2008 4:27:21 AM

Especially after coming in second.

That horse would have been fun to watch at the Preakness.

5/4/2008 4:29:10 AM

so no one thinks that forcing these horses to entertain us by competing so hard that they sometimes die* is wrong?

BUT NO!! HORSES LOVE INDENTURED SERVITUDE!! DUCKS LOVE BEING FORCE FED!! COWS DIG BRANDING!!

LET'S GO ELECTROSHOCK SOME DOGS AND BREAK THE BEAKS OFF SOME BIRDS!!! YEAH!!!

FUCK ANIMALS!!!!! THEY CAN'T EVEN TALK!!!!



(countdown until some idiot incorrectly asserts that anti-animal-cruelty = anti-eating-meat: 10, 9, 8, 7 ....)



[Edited on May 4, 2008 at 10:36 AM. Reason : *receive an injury so severe that they must be euthanized]

5/4/2008 10:08:23 AM

^ you obviously never been around a horse that loved the track...

now for the other things you mentioned i agree...

5/4/2008 10:24:40 AM

I'm not saying horses shouldn't be allowed to run in circles with other horses

running usually makes horses happy

5/4/2008 10:34:36 AM

why am I not drinking a mint julep right now?!?!?!?!?

5/4/2008 2:43:42 PM

come in to the bar after 5, i'll make you one

5/4/2008 2:48:52 PM

which bar? I am considering going out for a couple tonight.

5/4/2008 2:55:47 PM

THE BAR

its next to bada wings, right?

[Edited on May 4, 2008 at 2:56 PM. Reason : in mission valley]

5/4/2008 2:56:26 PM

well, the biggest problem is that the horses aren't bred for health anymore. so shit like this going to happen more and more

5/4/2008 4:58:00 PM

so did it come out yet about someone putting a hit on the lady horse? im thinking suicide bomber

i never thought i'd ever see anything more embarassing and redneck than an ncst tailgate.

but i always forget about the KD

one of the horses I used to ride was a former racehorse. It was a great horse, adn LOVED to gallop.

5/4/2008 6:28:18 PM

What do they use for euthanasia on the track? And how do you move a dead horse?

5/4/2008 7:10:38 PM

^
-Euthasol
-Fork lift

5/4/2008 10:17:15 PM

^ yep, we knew it was the worst case scenario when they had several trucks surrounding the horse so no one could see.

5/4/2008 10:28:09 PM

At least they have chemical means of euthanasia. I don't know how many people these days would go for a gunshot and would rather the animal suffer.

5/4/2008 10:56:24 PM

a medium rifle to the head would be instant, but messy. drugs would be better.

5/4/2008 11:03:56 PM

Yeah, chemical euthanasia now is by far the best means since it entails no pain other than a simple prick (which Eight Belles wouldn't have felt).

5/4/2008 11:12:06 PM

this is why women shouldn't try to compete with men in sports. cause they get killed

5/4/2008 11:16:46 PM

I had money on Eight Belles. I was so excited when she was doing so strong and then SO BUMMED.

Like, seriously, talk about an emotional coaster.

5/5/2008 1:36:38 AM

so why a shotgun? in front of like that many people would seem so crazy...couldnt they get a silencer or something?

5/5/2008 1:37:40 AM

how is it possible for someone to be so dumb

i mean seriously
