When the brilliant Eight Belles, just the second filly to finish second in the Derby, started to lean forward and sink to the ground on the first turn, it was clear something was wrong. She tried to get up. The apparatus that lets a horse stand was no longer working. Everything in her front legs had blown apart. Her will told her to stand, but she could not.

A few moments later, the Derby winner galloped by on the way to the winner's circle as the needle was coming out with the solution that would end the filly's pain.

And her life.

I guess she couldn't run with the big dawgs.


Should horse racing be change?

It sucks, but it's not as bad as dog fighting for sure. The horses are run hard, but they are made for that. I'm not a fan, but it's not nearly as big a deal as they make it out to be.

Horse is good but I couldn't eat a whole one. Jockeys are a bit tough but at least you can fit them in the oven.

Com' on guys, it's not that bad, what's with the long faces??:)



It's like that old Redford movie, the Electric Cowboy, when he steals some million dollar race horse and shows the media how it's all doped up w/roids and stuff.

Horses aren't my thing, but I'm not against it. Sure is sad. Kind of funny how jockies die once in a while, but if a horse dies all hell breaks loose.
