LOUISVILLE, Ky. -- Big Brown backed up his trainer's boasts with an explosive finishing kick and won the Kentucky Derby on Saturday, a commanding victory turned somber by the fatal breakdown of the filly Eight Belles on horse racing's biggest day.

Congrats to Big Brown. My heart goes out to the owner's, trainers, and jockey of Eight Belle's. Very tragic.
