BobRight now I don't care that Big Brown won and may be a possible triple crown winner. Right now I don't care that I thought Gayego was too far out (19th) and boxed the favorite Big Brown and my race longshot Eight Belles. Right now I am very, very sad that a courageous filly is dead. It broke my heart to see the replay and see 8 Belles, beginning to fade, show her heart and make another charge and finish a strong second to the winner with 18 colts eating her dust. Right now my heart is broken that a courageous filly is dead. I would gladly swap the card I will buy at auction with my winnings, if she were still alive. She showed her grit and heart down here in Arkansas this spring, winning the Fantasy at Hot Springs in a gutty performance. Rest In Peace 8 Belles.
I am miserable
