I watched the Kentucky Derby today, and after the horrible outcome with Barbaro--Ken and I were watching when that happened--and after today's runner-up was injured and had to be euthanized on the track, I think I can officially say that I am done with watching horse racing. I love the excitement of the race, and I love seeing the beauty of the horses--they are magnificent animals. But I just can't bear seeing them be so severely injured that they have to be killed right then and there. Just can't do it any more, nope, I'm done.

Sad thing is that the race was over, the poor filly broke both ankles during the pull-up from the race. What a tragedy.

I didn't watch this race and I am glad that I didn't. I just saw some pictures on AOL news. That was a bad thing to happen. Helen

to the Derby, but my children have. I have been to the
races in Lexington and watched polo at the Horse Park.
I could really get into that. Such a festive atmosphere.
The horses are incredibly beautiful. I guess every
sporting events has its risks but that was a sad ending
for the only female entry. Have a great day, Pat
