Derby update

The FP Gal's horse was in the very last place about half way through the race. Somehow he came back and took third place. The second place horse, 'Eight Belles', was injured and was euthanized right on the track. (I'm guessing that's a tradition that NASCAR won't swipe.)

You know, I was discussing the Derby and Eight Belles at work today, and the question came up; if she had, say, finished, I don't know, twelfth or something, would the owner simply have gotten Purina on the phone and a .22 out?

Or do you think that really would have frosted PETA's shorts?
