A tribute to Eight Belles. I know a lot of videos have already been made of her since the Derby, and I'm not sure mine adds anything that hasn't already been expressed, but I felt compelled to make one for her.
Footage and most of the pictures from rockportharbor.com. Song: "The Hours" from the movie soundtrack. I do not own the songs, pictures, or video and I will remove them if anyone who owns the rights to them wants me to.

  • Did u know if Big Brown wouldve never won It would've been Eight Belles!? Were just lucky she didn't suffer I love horses but seriously this has happened 3 years ago time to think about a different horse. Ok?

  • @MichaelJs1luv96 No offense, but I don't understand your point. I made this video three years ago. It's not like I made it last week. And most of the comments are old, too. Besides, Eight Belles was a wonderful filly and the only horse to die in the history of the Kentucky Derby. If we don't take the time to remember the horses who break down, how can we ever make racing safer?

  • She was truly amazing, she really did run her heart out. Thnxz 4 posting...

  • No problem. :) Yeah, she was one game filly.

  • i would bet,,,,, if she knew what happened,,, this amazing beatifull EIGHT BELLES would run no matter what.... she will forever be in my heart RIP beautifull belles

  • i always route for the underdog. she was a beautiful horse. i wish i could have seen her run in person.

  • god she was such an amazing filly!

  • 20 horses in the Derby is just crazy. It makes the Derby more about luck in terms of where you end up in traffic. The best horses often don't even get a chance to compete because they can't make it out of traffic in time. i.e. Colonel John, Eight Belles, Denis of Cork (watch his stretch run), and the list goes on. They should limit the number to like 14, like they do in the Preakness.

  • Yeah, with 20 horses running in the Derby, there is always that fear of a horrifc multiple horse wreck. Though since no horse had died before, I had a false sense of security in the Derby that was shattered when Eight Belles died. :( I agree, the industry needs reform, but the wonderful horses always bring me back to the sport. :)
