I like the long shot philly with 20 year old jockey, 8 Bells. You go girl!!!!! I also like Pyro. |
How heartbreaking. 8 Bells finished second and then went down. I hope she is OK. I think right now they are thinking it is her heart. |
two front broken legs..they put her down:( |

I just watched and I about died. How heartbreaking. I am just sick. :( Deana Prestigeous Yorkies and 2 Maltese :) |
Oh I am glad I did not watch...that is extremely heartbreaking! |
no, I haven't ever been. You can see better on the TV. Eight Belles was my first pick. So sad, they said both her front ankles collaped and they euthanized her on the spot. larry Jones is heartbroken as is everyone else asscociated with her. I expect we have a triple crown winner in Big Brown. |
They did a special story on her earlier in the day. The trainer took her for a ride around the track with the camera crew and he talked about what a great horse she was. Later, there was a story about her young jockey. It was easy to fall in love with them. This is the first time in years I have been able to watch because I am normally at a dog show the first weekend in May. I really wish I hadn't. |
Absolutely heartbreaking. They said she had two compound fractures and the pain was just to severe. Such a loss! |
She was a beautiful animal, so heartbreaking. |
WOW! How heartbreaking! I never watched but just heard. I am curios as to what happened though. How did she break her legs? That is so unusual for a race horse.:confused: |
