| Kentucky Derby |

|
LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP)—Big Brown backed up his trainer’s boasts with an explosive finishing kick and won the Kentucky Derby on Saturday.
But the cheers of the crowd were cut short when the filly Eight Belles, who finished second, was euthanized on the track minutes after the race with a fatal injury. |

It was a story from the American press, you know! You can't impose your colonial will on the rest of the world forever, you GMT elitists!
 
Shocking about the horse, though. Having lived in Kentucky, I'm sure it's cast rather a pall over the whole weekend.
