They should have done more for her - instead she was treated like a raw material.
The owners of Barbaro will always have my respect for how hard they tried to save him - a class act to the end.
Pity the same cannot be said for Eight Belles owners. The difficulty of an injured horse to recover from leg injuries is well documented but there are exceptions to the rule - and some have beat the odds. Too bad Eight Belles never had a chance to "beat the odds".
Thanks for posting this! Eight belles was a truly magnificent horse. She reminds me so much of Ruffian, may they both rest in peace and continue to race in the afterlife. This is an awesome song, put to one of the saddest moments in horse racing. Again, thank you for posting this!
she was kinda like ruffian. she never gave up. Poor baby lost her life doing what she loved. WE WILL MISS YOU EIGHT BELLES! im sure god gave her a golden starting gate. Wish you were her eight belles!
Just terrific!! Thanks for doing this and posting it for the rest of us to enjoy!! She was a terrific racehorse; she will change horseracing for the good.
