:( Did'nt understand a lot of it, but just kept imagining them cutting her up. Poor girl. R.I.P Belle

Here is a very good read on Eight Belles.

great article, now we have experts redboarding breakdowns.

That is what I thought as well.

Looks like she may have been a little sick. What a gallant effort

It is a great article. And Ellen Parker is a great pedigree expert. The article is spot on and we must continue to fight for what is right.

Commercial farms = factory farms

like puppy mills

While she may be a great pedigree expert and very knowledgeable the article strikes me as a little self serving. I wonder how many horses carry the cross that so worried her are sound and haven't broken down.

every time I think you have hit a top....you come up with one better.

He's like Ghostzapper.

sumitas gets a 150k stud fee?

Eight Belles Tests Negative for Steroids
 

Did she say this before her other 4 races this year? Like AJ said a breakdown redboard.

The autoposy made it very clear why
they put her down so quickly. Very
sickening, bone penetration...

I was certain she had a heart attack
as she was not moving when I first saw her.

A very informative article, dialogue was needed and you just hope someone will listen...it's a start and maybe something good can come out of Eight Belles death, it just isn't right what happened to her. We need all angles examined.

The filly was dead?

Ghostzapper the horse is smarter

if all 20 horses are descended from native dancer, the cause celebre of all things wrong with the thoroughbred today, why didn't she just say 'i hope none of them break down'? why just the filly? but then, she wouldn't have been considered quite as prescient, and there wouldn't be as much drama in the article...
