Charles Bukowski - American author

Don't know if there's many racing fans here, but I know there are a few animal lovers around. Yesterday's "Run For The Roses" was a sad one. The filly "Eight Belles" fell down after the race and had to be euthanized on the spot. Both ankles broken. She was a promising horse and actually finished second in the Kentucky Derby, out of a field of twenty.

There is more written about it HERE

As some of you may know, I work for the racetracks myself. It was a sad ending yesterday to what is usually our best day of the year. Had to shake off a little gloom and write about it. I made a post at my blog, if you're interested : http://sugarskullparade.blogspot.com/
