The filly Eight Belles took second before collapsing with two broken ankles beyond the finish. "There was no way to save her," the trainer Larry Jones said. "She couldn't stand."
This image breaks my heart, but it's also an amazing capture.

the outcome of that race was absolutely horrific and sad. i too, scoured the photos to come from that race and there are many that are just hard to see. some even show her trying to stand on broken ankles which is absolutely heartbreaking: http://media.timesleader.com/images/300*207/belles_05-04-2008_C67SGI2.jpg
