hey, i know that yall are pissed cas of yet another tragedy in the sport of kings....but lets face it....it happens...its just unfortunate that yesterday, chelokee dislocated his ankle, but hes goin to be jus fine, and i did cry at philly park today when i saw eight belles lying on the ground...things happen..theres a risk to everything...these horses are bred to run, and they llove doing it. these animals are treated better than most humans...they treat these thoroughbreds like royalty..i dont know if you remember tiago, from last years derby, well he only drinks fiji water...and you should actually go to the backside of a racetrack one of these days and watch how precious these animals are..and there handeld with care, since there so fragile....

so maybe you should actually know what goes on behind the scenes before you jump to make accusations, on how she was maltreated, and should have never been entered in the derby..well i have an answer to that my friends...

if she was to run in the soup yesterday, worse may have happened..she has never ran on an off track...where today was a fast track....

also...she was one of the few..about 4 horses...that had a triple digit beyer figure..she also is a big filly, as big as winning colors, the last filly to win the derby...she was bigger and better then most of the field...some of us actually know the horse and watch her race...unlike those who just flip on the tv on derby day nd say.."oh..she sucks,. shes a girl..she doesnt belong in here.."

doesnt that sound a little sexist? thats why they offer the triple crown and other stakes races to both sexes, so the talented fillies, like rags to riches and eight belles, can prove to the big boys that theyre all buisness, and what did eight belles do today? she came in second...she prolly would have won it if big brown didnt get a dream trip. this filly was sometihng else, and some people just refuse to believe that sometimes, the girls are better than the guys...

rest in peace eight belles...you gave a battle and made big brown run for his $$$

you truly are a champion in the eyes of many. <3
