  • I bet during the Derby everyone was cheering for her.

  • @BreyerGirl your right! Horses love racing it's just tht I think they should be older! You know? I mean I would love to see them race at the age of at least 6 and older!

  • the 29 female horse to race... she came second to big brown which was a big deal but the sadly after the race she collapsed due to two shattered ankles in the front end of the horse, it is sad she was a Beloved filly and we were all rooting for her all the way R.I.P Eight Bells :'( we will always remember you

  • HOJE 3 ANOS SEM EIGHT BELLES EU A AMO, REST IN PEACE, : ( anderson do BRASIL

  • Its odd, she broke her ankles while she was airborn, not on the ground, she was a champion and i think she was in pain the whole race but kept going and couldnt bare the pain after it was done so she stopped... which led to you know,

    RIP Eight Belles, maybe gone but never forgotten

  • The Magic Eight Belles varices. True, onanie was like the other legends. She was unique and beautiful in its own way.

  • THEY MEAN FETLOCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • You passed 2 yrs ago today. RIP Eight Belles

  • I bet on her during the KY Derby, she was an awesome philly.

  • Poor filly.

  • Its so sad. she was a beautiful little filly with alot of heart.. and now shes gone :(

  • @OxBreezyBunnyXo

    i know im am sad too i love eight belles and babaro i wish they had another chance ;(

  • she wouldnt be dead if it werent for the the idoits in this world making money on forceing horses to run their fastiest. and the horses die or they live and end up at rescue barns bc they were abused

  • if it wasn't for racing she porbaly whould of never be born

  • @TheHorseGames BOO HOO SHUTUP

  • @whatthefuckubrat you shut up id you don't like horses don't watch a horse video or is that to smart for you jerk

  • @TheHorseGames HI HONEY!!

  • @whatthefuckubrat

    change your youtube name you dont evan really care about horses then do you

  • @oliviaaelliott idiot you can't. BUT i can make more clone channels and spam the fuck out of you

  • @whatthefuckubrat ha as if i know more about eight belles and babaro and phar lap and sebiscuet and specil run and zenyetta and ranger and solider beat that i know evan more than that

  • @oliviaaelliott HA! But do you know how to spell? So you know about the Club footed Comet? Mr. Longtail? The nickname they gave to Smarty Jones when he reared up hit his head on the starting gate? Banana Nose or AKA The Master? You can't even spell Barbaro right oh and it's an a not e in Zenyatta's name honey.

  • @whatthefuckubrat

    ok lets just be friends plz who cares now i don't so ok i hate your name hahahahahaahaahahahahahahah

  • :'(

  • Though our eyes tell us your gone

    our heart tells us your still here

  • She broke both fetlocks, I even asked my horse's vet who specilizes in Thoroughbreds what happened. He said that once the first ankle shattered, all of the extra weight was put on the other ankle although it couldn't hold all of that weight and shattered. She had compound fractures. Also, she had bruises on her lungs. Saving her was impossible since she couldn't get up, she tried too although she will come back. She had alot of inbreeding from a horse that had ankle problems, it got passed down!

  • My moms friend's relative owned eight bells. I have pics of her before she died.

  • She was a hero. Little Philly made it to the big race and won. Now she is running in heaven with the likes of Secretariat!

  • well she didnt win the race but she won our hearts lol

  • she didnt win the race and its filly

  • the video is fantastic and i love the song

    what is the name of the song ?

    RIP Eight Bells

  • Innocent by david cook

  • @MaddyAndStormy

    the name of the song is innocent by our lady peace

  • @MaddyAndStormy Could you spell her name right?!?!

  • No offense to anyone, but I'm not too fond of horse racing myself. All I see is horses running and dying for people's amusement.

    RIP Eight Bells.

  • greatpyrite's right forlock is i call it the horses bangs but she shattered her fetlock

  • Hi. I'm sorry, but everybody below who said she shattered her "forelock" needs to learn horse anatomy. A forelock is the part of the mane between the ears/on the face.

  • at 00:10 the breast plate was flying all over,

    but this was a great video :]

  • i love this video. aw! poor Eigth bells! i really miss her she tried and she made history. but it was soo sad that she is not here with use :( but she is in a happy place with Barbaro (sp?) :) that is the good part. :) *sigh*...*sob* :(

  • that was an amazing video my horse had 2 be put down and its very hard to lose something so wonderful

  • okay, lets get this straight. her knees were beyond a compfortable repair. even if they had patched her up, she wouldnt have been the same. it was in her best interest that she go and race barburo on her wings ~sniffel~

  • Who is Barburo?

  • Barbaro is one of thebest racehorses who lived. he died due to laminitis, and had to bre put down. he ended up breaking his right hind leg at a race called preakness stakes

  • @neddynesbitt Its Barbaro. He was a colt who broke down during the Preakness in 2007.

  • @94gunsmoke 2006not 2007

  • @whitestarline08 oops. that wuz a typo. I saw it happen in 06, too. thanks 4 fixing it tho.

  • eight belles more like two broken ankles

  • it was her knees that shattered!!

  • accually, her forelocks broke after the race. so she couldn't get cooled off.

  • @TwilighterCullenSwan its fetlocks not forelocks

  • @Agilitystar no it was her sesamoids

  • @Agilitystar NO it was her ankles

  • @Agilitystar No, it was her ankles

  • @Agilitystar knees im pretty sure ankles!

  • horses arent ment to be raced with, they have to be in the wild and be free, those people need to find jobs and stop racing animals

  • thoroughbreds are bred to race they like it... but people could train differently though

  • this is gay i wanna see the fuckin horse die not this faggy video

  • wtf your a fag if u wanna watch crap like that!

  • rip little filly!

  • how the hell is this funny you dike head you are rude she is like or was the best race horse and delaware and she repusented our state well kk and thats really not funny its sad

  • HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

  • how the heck is this funny?

  • nice video :)

    RIP 8 EightBelles, we all luv u :)

  • Poor Eight Belles. She was beautiful and should have won...

  • i was commenting about the other kid who said fuck horses. im asking him why he is waching the vid if he thinks "fuck horses" i love horses and i love this vid. im not commenting it bad. i think it was rude that that kid said a niggaa shot doesnt even get this much attention. fuck horses. sorry you didnt understad. =]

  • ok seriously i was just joking around horses are ok and it was the trainer's fault to race the horse case she was too young...so i guess you could say it was their fault...sorry if i offended you in any way

  • get this if she was any older she woulda been to old to race so she was not too young!

  • In my prayers 8 bells.

  • so sad...

    R.I.P. Eight Belles

  • Her name was Eight Belles, not Eight Bells.

    Talk about disrespect.

  • @funk987 THANK YOU so much. I hate how SO many people misspell her name, poor girl

  • ok seriously who cares anymore and i don't even like horses so whatever

  • what is wrong with you! don't commet if you don't care! she was amazing filly she died too soon she would have been amazing!

  • Thanks for entering my contest!

  • fuck horses?

    y are you watching this..seriously.

  • Dude. If you dont like it, dont watch it. God, people are so retarded.

  • Love this video. It brought more than a few of us to tears at Into Equus.

  • a nigga shot don't get this much attention fuck horses.

  • The breeding. Thoroughbreds are getting more and more muscularly powerful, but their bone skeletons are getting more & more light and frail!! They need to stop bredding thoroughbred on Thoroughbred and try an arb and Thoroughbred to strenghten up the bone mass. Racing crul, I don't think it should be illegal. I think they need to watch their breeding. Great vid!

  • I mean, racing isn't cruel and abusive, the horses love it. They are just too young when they are raced and the breeding is causing them to have weak bones.

  • I agree that horse racing should be more closely monitored for abuse. This beautiful horse lost her life to our greedy quest for the perfect race horse. There is nothing wrong with horses racing each other, they have a natural desire to run, but we push them more and more and we weaken them to the point that we saw in the Derby. She did not deserve to die on that track. If we can't produce winners through natural means, then we should kill the sport instead.

  • THANX!!! haha i am so happy someone agrees with me!!

  • this was a tradegic accident that should not have happened she was a beautiful horse that had so much to live for! i have a horse and i think that horse racing shoudl possibly be illegal because of some of the bad reprocussions needless to say she was an amazing horse that didnt deserve to have her life ended so young and infront of all those people she was amazing

  • accidents happen get over it the horses like to race

  • wtf I never said they didnt its just sad when these things

  • Piss off all you race fans! Kill another then cry about it

  • to all you race fans piss off and to hell withyou

  • dude shut up the horses like to race you dumbass.

    damn thickheaded peta loons

  • ok get this through ur tiny lil brain! I have a fricking ex race horse k? in case your idiotic lil brain didnt know what that means it means i have a horse who used to race k? got that?? i know plenty about thoroughbreds! SO BACk OFF!!

  • thank you so much for making this..<3

  • you can tell by watching her that she loved to run.

  • damn for a girl horse that chick can run!

  • she was a great horse,and she did her best.the horse fracter both ancks.i do not know how that happen.

  • sister- i am a horse lover it is hard to lose a horse because i lost one to.

  • fuk eight bells pharlap is the best

  • yeah , get a life

  • well only horse lovers understand that this is tragic but if oyu hate them and this this is stupid then dont watch it

  • OMFG. THis is so pathetic, making a tribute movie for a horse? Come on? Really?

  • that filly was special, she could have been a champion. i am a horse lover as many of us are, and this is sad for us. so we may like another horse better but it still hits us in the heart. she was too young. i think you are pathetic for saying that. have you never had a pet, if you have what would you do if that animal trajically died, alittle bit of you would die to. to all of us horse lovers we bow our heads for the loss of a special filly

  • i agree with u. but eight bells was a tragity and she was a filly against 19 colts. that's one girl against 19 boys and she came 2nd!

  • they shouldnt mix filly's and colts. the bones fuse differently, and they are not meant to be mixed. but im glad she showed em' this is a sad story. Rest In Peace.

  • thank you for the beautiful tribute to a beautiful filly..i hope she and ruffian are romping it up against the boys

  • where did you get video???

  • i'm sad that she died, but at least she got 2nd place and beat the colts

  • R.I.P Eight Bells. It wasn't fair for her. When are the stupid racing people going to realize it is abuse. Sorry but it is

  • Rest In PEace Eight Belles..poor baby ran her little heart out and impacted my life so much girls are just as good as males and this little filly prooved it. She ran her heart out and with her death was born another amazing horse for a little girl to love <3 RIP Eight Belles

  • poor baby

  • hey commit ur a fuckin dumbass the trainer didnt even know she was being euthanized until after it was already over u fuckin dumb fuck gets ur facts before u come on here talkin shit and plus it wasent a dumb horse the horse was a phillie running agianst 18 males and beat eighteen and lost to big brown so fuck u and go suck ur daddys dick or something u bitch

  • This was just my answer to comicfl...

  • Nice video, where did you get your clips?

  • Wow, horse racing is a really brutal sport. I think I will stick with kickboxing.

  • it all depends on the owners

  • thanks for this video- Eight Bells was a hell of a horse! She ran with her heart and she was great for that . it is a very sad thing that happened. This video helps us remember what she acheived and the price she paid for it .

  • Who is Eight Bells? That horse they killed? I can't beleive there are people who actually know it well enough to make a video about it.

  • well if you are a thoroughbred race horse owner like me then you would know why if my champion race horse Ghost died then i would be sad too

  • Who is ghost? I don't know these horses.

  • my horse an ex racehorse but to us thoroughbred owners this is big news

  • his grandsire was famous sorry typo but still if you are a horselover then you would care

  • duh ghost is her horse lol he is a race horse

  • So it's just a stupid horse. The owner owned it and had a right to kill it. After it got injured it deserved to die. It is no use anymore.

  • do you really feel your derogatory statements are useful? Crawl back under your bridge, troll.

  • I see that you were injured at birth(head,brain and heart) for telling this kind of shit.You don't have use anymore(and surely you never had) so you should die, fucking son of a bitch.

  • The horse is of no use anymore so there is no reason to keep it around. Why is that so hard to understand? It was a RACE HORSE and now it CAN'T RACE. I swear some of you people would arrest homeowners for killing fire ants if you had it your way.

  • Actually Just cause eight bells cant race dosent mean she shouldve been put down!

    She could be a pasture horse or trail horse! The only reason they had to put her down was cause they said she broke her leg or tendan! Other then that if she was okay they wouldnt have put her down! Do you not know anything about horses. If its healable they wont put the horse down! So before you say their is no reason to keep her around cause she cant race their are alot of horses that are around that dont race

  • They had to kill him. They need that room to get another horse that can make them money. No room for a lame horse.

  • @comicfl she was a HER

  • Kay well a lame horse can always be healed!!!

    And im guessing you dont kno crap about horses.

    Cause The least they could have dont was made her a pasture horse.

    So are you really gonna sit here and argue when they know if she was heal able!!! THEY WOULD KEEP THE DANG HORSE AS A PASTURE HORSE. Use it as a broodmare SOMTHING!

  • well no, labaronbell, not always can a lame horse be healed.

  • Her front ankles SHATTERED. It would be like you breaking your ankles in several pieces and going through long surgery and casting and sitting around your house and having to 'tiptoe' around for fear of re-breaking.

  • @LaBaronBell NO way to save her

  • how could u say that do u have a heart what if you were eight bells you would have been begging your owner to save you asshole!!!

  • Yea, only problem with that is, I'm not a horse.

  • unfortunatly there was no saving her...

  • ok..if you get hurt can i come kill you too then? your just a stupid human..

  • No, because I am a human and Bells is just a horse. Learn the chain of life and get back to me.

  • lol so true

  • dude it broke both of its knees either they euthanize the damn horse painlessly or leave it in incredible paint to die

  • Agilitystar, Thank you for this tribute for Eight Belles, dose any one really know why this happen to Eight Belles, do you think she was just too young to be running this race, others are saying she must have been injured during the race, Saez should had stop her than to finish the race, i know accidents happen, i just don`t understand both ankle, i`m so sorry this happen i only hope they learn from this and give these horses time to grow if this was the case. i guess we will never know for sure

  • yea I think that she was to young and that her bones weren't developed yet

  • Aw! Poor horse! Was he your familys or yous?

  • who Eight Bells? no she was in the derby... but Ghost is mine

  • Oh. Lucky you! (about ghost)

  • So sad.

  • well im glad u stood up for urself and fuck those police officers around in my neighborhood there r cops living on our street and there children r my friends..but they r not fuckers like the police u called.. (no offense i was talking about the officers)

  • and i am sorry i offended u, i mean no harm

    it's just i have been through a lot, and that is why i have no religious beliefs. i believe in nothing

  • yea i'm sorry if any of us made you feel bad

  • dude im not racist either there r many latinos and blacks at my school most being male.. and some r my closest friends..i know not all blacks steal and kill people, and i am truly sorry about ur girlfriend did the police listen to u? and when i go to th big city ppl stock me 2 most being white males..im not saying i hate blacks at all! and victor martinez on the indians team for Cleveland he is my all time fav player and he is lation but plz dont dis on my bffs vid.. its for horse lovers likeme

  • thank u, and no not all people are racist, i just think it happens with more black women, and, white men, i really do not believe for a second that white women are racists, unles they are 30 and older, and grew up old-school

  • the comment i posted was to the akuonye guy..go away u fag.. u say whites should leave then y doesnt ur soon to b bride leave then?yeah thats right i know she is white and so r we so if u dis whites u r dissing ur "soon to b wife" and ur baby u r going to have..so leave us alone! its not our faults that the owners r too gay to know that they shouldnt race at only 2 or 3! they should race at like 6! so dont complane to us complane to the fucking owners!

  • white men u fag, i love white women, and feel sorry for them

    i put black women in the same sentence with white men in terms of judging race. that is why black women are single, and another reason rap is number one in all music. white girls love rap, while white guys hate it. even black girls hate rap, because they feel white women are taking to black guys from them. unlike white men, nobody wants to fuck black women, that is why they are 75% single worldwide. while black men, are single 4%

  • It's ashame the good have to die young im putting this on my website in honor of eightbells.

  • i know same with Barbaro but its a good thing that we didnt try and fix her otherwise we might have another Barbaro story

  • steriods is wrong

  • yea well so is dog fighting and being racist

  • doesnt matter they are both wrong, i think when it comes to racism, black women, and white men, lead the list

  • i herd that they put steroids in racehorses food, so they have tooo much muscle and tiny tiny bones, and they snap easily...and her sire and dam had bad leg problems:( R.I.P eight belles, barbaro and ruffian :( we <3 you all!

  • yea i guess her bones just crumbled and thats when her ankles gave

  • why no outrage, this is way worse than vick

    lol feeding steriods to animals what cruelty

    this justy shows u the media can make anybody look bad, now u see why us blacks didn';t think dogfighting was bad. this is asinine

    white people use steriods on everybody even themlseves, they are devils

  • well like what me abd seabiscuit19382002 said we own thoroughbreds and we never use steriods... it was just that she was to young and she ran to hard it has nothing to do with steriods!!!!!

  • well...I herd that the cow jumped over the moon that is made of green cheese! Since I heard it, damn, it must be true! Common hunterjumper, you are a brighter person that you portray yourself with that post! I am a thoroughbred owner and have been for 15 years. The NEAREST steroid to my barn is about 20 miles away at Valley Ranch and the Dallas Cowboys. My fellow owners DO not and WILL not subject our horses to such a negative health issue. The filly was big which was to her advantage!

  • yea i'm a thoroughbred owner too but some do steriods but i sure dont

  • i was looking pics and i found the must disturbing pic of her.. i say a pic of them putting the medicine in her to put her asleep i almost puked and i started crying..

  • I know people have those on there movies its sad

  • i know.... do u wonder if she had a heart attack and that made her fall and break her ankles? i think thats what happened but thats just me and r u going to the barn during my lesson?

  • i think she just stepped wrong... yea i can stay is that ok with you

  • white people are evil

    evil

    god will punish them, white men are evil, not white women. i feel bad for them.

    how can u get mad at vick, but not mad at this, unbelievable

  • akuonye, you have your right to think as you wish, go watch the video on hear,cobra attaccaun bambino, then come back here and talk your hate for white people, dog fighting is cruel and inhumane, it`s clear you hate white people, You can hate me all you WANT i was one that helped put Mike Vick in JAIL. go watch the video.

  • seriously i agree

  • i do not care for dog fighting, and i hate white MEN, i just think putting sterids in a horse is worse.

    it's crazy, don't u see that

  • well not all people do that!! you have to understand that!!

  • well if you hate them so much well you should stop and think about all those white people who were against slavery. without some of the people who were against discrimination and slavery you would be woring for people like slaves did and you would be treated that badly you should stop and think about that before you say anymore shit about white people!!!!
