Who won the Kentucky Derby yesterday (5/3/08)?

Question

What was it's number? We didn't get to see the race, and don't know the details.

Answer 1

Big Brown won. Not sure of the number, but it was a big bay.

Eight Bells, the filly went down and broke two ankles. She had to be put down.

I think its disgusting how barbaric people can be though. People just sit with their money and their stupid fluffy hats with bouncing sh*t coming out of the top and dont realize what the horses are being put through! I didnt make it to the television in time but when i found out this morning i was heartbroken. Its so sad how people put young horses in like that for MONEY. Its really depressing. I would be so mordified if my favorite horse on this planet was put into a big shindig like that and had to be put down for breaking to ankles.

I'll pray for Eight Bells.

Answer 2

Big Brown...I don't know what # but Eight Belles, the only filly, broke her 2 front ankles shortly after passing the finish line and coming in 2nd place behind Big Brown....She had to be put down a few minutes later on the track

Answer 3

Big Brown, #20 won with daylight...

Answer 4

Win: Big Brown (by four lengths)

Place: Eight Belles (may she Rest In Peace):

Show: Denis of Cork (quite a surprise)

Answer 5

Big Brown

Answer 6

The favorite "big brown" won. His odds were 5/2 at start time. He was #20 and he has 4 starts and 4 wins. Can you say triple crown? He won by a good margin, but not exactly a blowout. He came from behind towards the end, like most winners do. He started from the outside rail. The other big story was the only filly (female horse) in the race ( first one in ten years ) Eight Belles came in 2nd place and broke both front legs immediately after the race and had to be put down right there on the track, it was sad.

Answer 7

Big Brown, and he was at the outside, so he was probably 19 or 20 as there were 20 in the field, but I can't remember if he was the last one in the gates or not.

Answer 8

r.i.p. eight belles

Answer 9

Not the donkey, I bet $25.00 on to win (Colonel John), Big Brown #20.
