This was posted on a website I visit for local horse people in So. Fla. She does horse stories that are in the local paper. (some of you probably have heard of the Palm Beach Post)
"I'm looking to do a column on the local reaction to the tragic death of Eight Belles at the Kentucky Derby. I believe that she was too young to be racing and that her joints were not mature yet. I'm interested to get everyone's take on what happened to her. I'm especially interested in people who own TB's. This might be an upcoming story if I can get a local perspective.
Thanks!

What bothers me is some of the replies this woman is getting. Anywhere from "I blame the jockey" to "Horses shouldn't be racing so young" to "fillies shouldn't race colts". Makes me very angry.
