Eight Belles
 

Oh God.....

OMG 8Belles
 

Please get up girl... wtf...

Does not look good.
Sorry.

heart attack?

Jesus, what happened???

Yeah I got the Ex. but don't even fell like cashing it now. What a brave filly hold on girl hold on. Get her to the Vet's.

If I had to guess.
She's all the way down.
not moving

She's gone.

Jesus.

**** she's gone. Got dam it. RIP Girl.

R.i.p

Sh it.
RIP.

over...........

What the???:eek:

Damn, That sucks

Both ankles? My God she gave it her all. I saw her win at Oaklawn. She gave it her all. R.I.P. girl you showed'em you belonged with them boys.

I just can't imagine how this happend!! She was pulling up..!! Damn.. I feel so bad for Larry and everyone involved... This sucks!

That's awful, she did run her heart out, thoughts and prayers to Larry Jones and the owners, geez.:(

A great effort for this filly, and the most UNFAIR conclusion ... The ugliest Derby outcome I have ever seen---no offense to the outstanding winner ... AWFUL ... The belles will toll no more ...

So easy to love and hate this game at the same time.

Stupid arse NBC shows the Jock being thrown from her. That's why I hate TV coverage.

I don't think they realized as did I what was happening.. I was'nt even sure who I was looking at for a few seconds..

You are so right. very sad day

Seems like very year a horse gets injured during this race. Last year it was Sharp Humor, this year Eight Belles. rip.

I was thinking all day how I wish she would have ran friday..What a shame..she ran her heart out

I was so impressed with this filly from the Oaklawn races, I saw that she was special and thought she's aquit herself very well here which she did, only losing to a possible TC winner. really a sad moment.

in tears.

Sharp Humor was not last year. He ran in '06.

It is too bad about Eight Belles. She was a talented filly.

:(
That's awful.

I can't even remember a horse breaking both ankles in a race.:(

The track vet reported she had 2 broken ankles, not sure where it happened but it is sure a downer to say the least...

****.

I didn't like her today, and then spent the first thirty seconds after the race talking about how impressed I was with her, how she was more shocking to me than Big Brown and that she proved herself over and over today.

Whoever said that it's so easy to love and hate this game at the same time -- i couldnt have said it better myself.

rip

Well said. Exactly what I was thinking.

I'm sitting here in disbelief, the live coverage of the race we got cut out soon after Big Brown crossed the wire, so I didn't see it happen. Terrible.

R.I.P.

What's really too bad too is, she probably wouldn't have racerd again anyway. With Larry Jones having the other best filly in America in his stable, what motivation there have been to run 8 Belles anymore. She would've gotten big bucks at for her broodmare services.

But R.I.P. She ran her heart out. It sucks...

Still don't quite know what to say other than RIP big girl. You were awesome today.

RIP girl, if there were no big brown she would be a Kentucky Derby winner

she was a beautiful girl... what a loss.

Cast a pall over the whole day....

Glad I didn't have her in any of my bets,I couldn't have cashed that ticket

with any real joy.

There may be something wrong with me, but my initial reaction to a horse going

down is "How is the horse?" Secondly...is the jock OK?

This is a real bummer and ranks right up there with the Barbaro tragedy to me.

Very classy tribute by Millie and HRTV.
