    Too bad for Eight Belles breaking down right after she came in second crossing the finish line at the derby.A big boney filly that gave it her all right to the very end.I hope they name a race for her as early as next year at Churchill Downs.They should probably bury her there too.

    That's part of the reason why racing can't gain popularity and market share.Alot of people don't want to see fragile thoroughbreds break down especially when the kids are with them.That's funny how it works where some people attending NASCAR races actually wait for wrecks to take place but when an animal gets hurt or killed,everyone feels bad.

      How else do you think they would end it? Grenade launcher to the head?
