LOUISVILLE, Ky. - Triumph turned to tragedy for trainer Larry Jones on Saturday as the brilliant filly Eight Belles suffered a fatal injury after finishing second to Big Brown in the 134th Kentucky Derby.

Eight Belles, who was attempting to become just the fourth filly in history to win the Kentucky Derby while also attempting to give Jones a rare Kentucky Oaks-Derby double, suffered condylar fractures to both front ankles and had to be euthanized. Jones had won the Kentucky Oaks 24 hours earlier with Proud Spell.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. – Neither inexperience nor a wide trip could offset the talent of Big Brown in Saturday’s Kentucky Derby at Churchill Downs.

He won the 134th running of the Kentucky Derby in spectacular fashion, rallying from just off the pace and easily winning a race marred by the fatal breakdown of runner-up Eight Belles, who broke down galloping out after the race.

Denis of Cork rallied for third, while never close to the winner or runner-up. Tale of Ekati was fourth.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. - In 1985, Spend a Buck wowed the crowd at Churchill Downs by winning the Kentucky Derby. Twenty-three years later, a son of Spend a Buck, Einstein, also thrilled Derby-goers, albeit in a different race, Saturday's Grade 1, $548,300 Woodford Reserve Turf Classic.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. - Intangaroo proved her victory over Hystericalady in the Grade 1 Santa Monica Handicap earlier this year at Santa Anita was no fluke when she did it again Saturday at Churchill Downs, rallying from off a hotly contested pace to outfinish Baroness Thatcher by a head in the $334,800 Humana Distaff Stakes.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. - Chelokee will need "a major piece of surgery" to repair a dislocated right front ankle that he suffered during the running of Friday's Alysheba Stakes at Churchill Downs, Dr. Larry Bramlage of the Rood and Riddle Equine Hospital in Lexington, Ky., said Saturday. But while his racing career is over, Chelokee could be saved to become a stallion, Bramlage said.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. - Speed on the Churchill Downs turf course, strong on Friday, continued to be strong in the first grass race Saturday as Bayou's Lassie, Dreaming of Anna, and Ventura went around the track one-two-three in the $150,000 Churchill Distaff Turf Mile.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. – Game Face, taking advantage of a sharp pace that softened up the front-runners and a clever ride from John Velazquez, came up the rail and then outdueled Keep the Peace in the final furlong to earn a neck victory in the Grade 3, $168,450 La Troienne Stakes for 3-year-old fillies on Saturday at Churchill Downs.

Tiz to Dream, a 14-1 shot, was another two lengths back in third. Alina, Secret Gypsy, Minewander, and Color Me Up completed the order of finish. Both American County and Informed Decision were scratched earlier in the day.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. - Game Face, the 9-5 favorite who was presented with a big opening on the rail into the stretch, outbattled an unlucky Keep the Peace to win Saturday's $150,000 La Troienne Stakes for 3-year-old fillies at Churchill Downs.

Early pacesetter Secret Gypsy, in her first start since a big maiden win at Saratoga last summer, drifted wide while tiring entering the stretch, carrying Keep the Peace even farther out. Despite benefitting from this, Game Face was hard pressed to narrowly prevail over Keep the Peace. Tiz to Dream outgamed Alina for third money.
