Kentucky Derby

******************

As usual I watched the Kentucky Derby

but yesterday was a sad sad day.

**

I had picked my horses and Eight Belles

was my choice of winner and she ran for

all she was worth. What a beautiful

creature , only to cross the finish line

in 2nd place and collapse.. Both of her

front ankles had broken.

My heart was broken , not because of the race

results, but because such a magnificent

creature had to be euthanized.

****

She was in my dreams last night and I am still

very sad this morning.
