Filly Eight Belles finished second behind favorite Big Brown in the Kentucky Derby on Saturday, then collapsed with two broken front ankles and was euthanized after crossing the wire.
The field of 20 horses was galloping out around the first turn at Churchill Downs when Eight Belles suddenly went down on both front legs and jockey Gabriel Saez slid off.
This is horrible but I think we all knew this poor animal was doomed when Hillary chose it as her favorite to win the derby.
The curse of Hillary takes out another Innocent victim.
MAYBE THE HORSE CURSED HILLARY IN HER FINAL WHINNY...THE SAME MAT HAPPEN TO HER...EXCEPT FOR BEING EUTHANIZED OF COURSE...
ReplyDeleteYet one more example of why horse racing (and dog racing and dog sled races, etc.) should be banned. How can any civilized person enjoy watching animal abuse?
