So, so sad. She beat 18 boys in The Derby, bless her. What a trooper. Like Ruffian, I'm sorry we won't get the chance to see just how good she could have been. RIP, beautiful girl.

this video really showed that she put her all and her heart into every race and it was something that she loved to do! RIP

It was so sad Eight Belles died, she was a magnificent filly, but it wasn't Big Brown's fault. I don't understand why he hasn't had the accolades he deserves, he is also a wonderful horse.

even after awhile this is still my favorite tribute to my derby pick belles.i love how you show her races won.we will never know how things would have worked out even if she ran in the oaks..there was another big hearted filly by the name of proud spell to contend with..belles did beat 18 other males in the derby..not a small feat.

If history repeats itself, a horse wont die until 2142.
Eight Belles was the first horse every to die in the Derby.

Big Brown is a terrible, lazy cob? The horse?
How did SHE win fair and square? She didn't win. Big Brown did. Obviously showing that even being a lazy terrible cob, was still faster than Eight Belles

This is the best memorial video I have seen. I searched high and low for the music you used for this, the "Love Theme from Ben Hur". I can't find it anywhere. Maybe if you're feeling generous, you could send me the Mp3, or help me locate the same piece you used! It's such a moving song, and was so appropriate for this tribute. Thankyou for sharing it with us!
