I chose the only filly running in the Kentucky Derby to win.
It is rare that a filly wins, but there was something about her that I liked. Maybe it was the fact that she was the only gal amongst 19 strong male thoroughbreds. Maybe it was the name (that is how I usually pick a horse). Or maybe it because she was so gorgeous.
She ran a good race, leading at first and holding a strong second to the end.
Unfortunately she then collapsed on the field.
Apparently she broke her front two legs and they euthanized her immediately.
Very sad.

I chose her too. I usually pick a horse by the way they look. She was dark and gorgeous. And I always pick the gal amongst the guys if possible. When she collapsed I immediately told Husband that was it. She gave it all she had. Sad beyond words.
