Oh, lord, not again...

Eight Belles, the first filly to run in the Kentucky Derby since 1999, finished second-- and then broke her ankles just a few strides later, and had to be euthanized.

The last filly to run in the Derby? Three Ring.

My sympathies to owner Rick Porter, his family, and everybody else on Eight Belles' team.
