I imagine that the plight of Eight Belles was a major buzz kill.
It reminds me of when I watched the fight between Ray “boom boom” Mancini and Duk koo Kim. I had no idea that I was about to watch a death.
No mas for me.

I wonder if there was a Bonnet Contest?

Pete, you got that right! Lots of tears in lots of eyes yesterday. She ran a great race. Very sad ending.

happy monday
i only have one thing to say that might help,
why don’t they let the 4 year old horses run
instead of the 3 year olds? i think they are
a little to young to run in the kd.
gee, horses can still compete at an even
older age. my wife loves horses and i was very
sad ending to a very nice day.

It’s likely the age makes no difference in these types of tragedis. It’s probable that Eight Belles took a very slight misstep causing the first ankle fracture and the second followed because she could not support all her weight on the remaining good leg. While it’s very sad, unfortunately, it’s part of thoroughbred racing. They are very powerful animals supported by very fragile legs, ankles and feet.
