I don't mean any harm to BB on this cause I really love Brownie BUT did he really win the Derby and Preakness? I feel that Eight Belles really and truly won the Kentucky Derby.
"The issue of steroids in horse racing saw increased public scrutiny this spring after Rick Dutrow Jr., the trainer of Big Brown, acknowledged using the anabolic steroid stanozolol on the Kentucky Derby Presented by Yum! Brands (gr. I) and Preakness Stakes (gr. I) winner."
I wish all trainers had half the heart that Larry has... I feel for him because his feeling for this wonderful filly was genuine...RIP beautiful girl.
smartysgal. I am mariasmon with a N. He died last year. He was Wait A While's sire. That may have been a typo. :) You like Smarty Jones don't you. That horse needs a heavenly address too.
Remember when Elton John changed theh lyrics to Good Bye Norma Jean for Princess Diana? I think that would have been cool for new lyrics for Eight Belles. Man I love her. I may make some up for her to that song.

Eight Belles died to make NTR a better sport. I agree with Larry on that one and I will miss watching her charisma and that beautiful long stride.

Man that would be awesom. He surly is one of a kind. He loved Eight Belles, that is apparent. I am proud of the speech too. It came from his heart.
