Well, we've got our Triple Crown contender for this year, Big Brown, who won by 4 3/4 lengths. But the moment was tempered with sorrow, as 2nd-place filly Eight Belles had to be euthanized on the track after breaking her two front ankles about a 1/4 mile past the finish line.

Thoroughbred, high-strung and unfortunately, much more delicate than they look. You both ran a grand race - I'm sorry that it had to be mixed in with such a tragedy.
