My gosh I cried for the winner!  That whole family was overcome with happy tears when Cody's Wish won!

@SurferWife    Won what?

Kentucky Derby.  I just assumed everyone knew it was today.  It was so touching for the horse that won.  He is named after the young son Cody who is wheelchair bound.  Bless his little heart...my husband & I were both crying.

The Ky derby has not run yet. However Cody's Wish did win the Churchill Downs Stakes and yes it is a heartwarming story!

@SurferWife   The Kentucky Derby hasn't been run yet.  Must have been one of the minor pre-races.

I'm crying for the 7 euthanized derby horses this week

God bless Make A Wish for making this wonderful experience happen for Cody. They grant such wonderful wishes.

@scatcat Me too, it is heartbreaking.

@SurferWife   That was such a good racethat Cody's Wish won. Can't believe he came up from last place. That was only the Breeders Cup though.

They euthanized one of the horses right after it raced today....and the others died within the past few days. Something is not right. These horses are being drugged or abused in some other away. Shut the whole thing down if it means they have to sacrifice these beautiful animals for a sport.  Forte was scratched this morning due to a bruised ankle....the trainer was going to run it anyway...but the vet said no after it stumbled during practice.
