Filly Eight Belles breaks down after 2nd-place Derby finish
Eight Belles could have easily been the wagering favorite in Friday's Kentucky Oaks, an all-girl showcase. But Jones and Porter decided to run her against the boys despite the fact that she had never done so before. She had, after all, solid credentials with a four-race winning streak.

    The AP writer couldn't resist including the Hillary Clinton angle. Twice.

    Eight Belles won 3 big $ races at Oaklawn Park here in Hot Springs last month. People here are really sad. It was all over the newspaper this morning, and with no Hillary mention from the local writers.

    I thought I'd be reading happy news when I set about catching up on what happened in horse racing this past weekend. Eight Belles' tragic death is definitely not happy news. :-(
