    Big Brown looks like an animal from what I have seen of him, I think I'll have a small wager on him

    Well, the race has been getting more headlines since it finished, for the wrong reasons: Eight Belles finished 2nd, then broke both ankles as she was pulling up, and was euthanized immediately. (ESPN story here.) :(

    What's worse it could all be prevented from happening if the trainers/owners weren' looking for such big framed horses that can't support the weight!
