Big Brown's nearly five-length win in the race.

Eight Belles' fatal injuries were freakish, as they happened on the same stride:

"That is an injury that is painful. There was no way to save her," Bramlage said.

Eight Belles was at the seven-eighths pole when she injured herself. "She suffered a condylar fracture in her left front, which opened the skin and was contaminated. On the right side, at least one sesamoid was broken. It was a catastrophic injury. It happened on the same stride right in front of the outrider."

Both the winner and runner-up can be seen in the photo on the right.
