I never watch the Derby or any of the Triple Crown until all the horses can get back to the barn, so I know the winner before I see the race. I was watching the live broadcast when Ruffian broke down, and it was the worst. I was riding horses with my dad since before I could walk and then rode, trained, and showed until my middle 20s. It just destroys me to see one break down.

My Dad owned a starting gate for harness racing when I was young and I used to ride along with him during the races. There was a pretty bad accident during one of the races and several horses went down. One of them couldnā€™t get back up so they had to get a truck, drag him off of the track and put him down.

Definitely not something my ten year old eyes were ready to see.
