my favorite won, but eight belles broke both front ankles and i'm crying

Big Brown won absolutely beautifully. It was thrilling. But the filly, the big filly, too big for her age filly, came in second and then dropped of broken ankles. God damn it. God damn it. God damn it.

4:15pm, PDT:
They put down Eight Belles, the only filly in this derby, Hillary's pick, and Chelsea's in solidarity with her mother... and... well... the Clintons can't be happy about that omen... but, fuck the Clintons, I'm heartbroken. I was yellin' and yayin' for Big Brown, even though I've NEVER picked the favorite before in my life, and bam. The filly crossed the finish line second and then dropped from stupid fuckers running a horse who grew too big too fast, could not possibly have had the bone for the job yet, and KILLED her. I was grousing about that as they were heading into the starting gate. God fucking damn it!

This year's coverage stank to high heaven... an endless procession of stupid celebrity banter... and then such a gorgeous run from Big Brown... OMG... it was spectacular! Only to be slammed into the dumps like this.

This has always been the very worst part of it for me. It makes me hate humans so much... and I'm sworn to make life better for humans... shit, shit, shit, shit, shit! Sometimes you assholes SO don't deserve it!

Pardon me. I really have to go off and have myself a good cleansing cry. I've had to try to suck it up a little for the last hour and it's killing me.
