When i heard that a horse was down on the track my heart stopped. To hear that it was Eight Belles made my heart break and i burst into tears. I may not be a racing fan and this might be the first derby i ever saw but it goes to show how much it hurts to see such a beautiful creature die. RIP baby girl u deserve a good rest.

What happened to Eight Belles wasn't even fair. She was a great filly with a lot of talent and heart. When they said a horse was down I was already sad, but to learn it was the filly almost made me cry. She could've been so great, too. . .

I've owned horses and I know they are competitive animals and love to race each other. I don't like aspects of horseracing like the gambling and too-rigorous training, but running is instinctual and they love it. No human could force them to put their hearts into it like they do.

RIP EIGHT BELLES. However folks I do believe we have our triple crown winner here! 17 hands high her delicate body just could not take the weight. reminds me of the deathof the wonderful grey a few years ago in the Grand National in England. awesome race. Dennis of Cork should be watched too. However Big Browns triple crown to win or lose! Was glad they played "run for the roses again"

He wasn't on drugs when he won the Haskell or his final race, which was against older horses. Not every horse can say they won on two surfaces, and beat older horses, and he did that while he wasn't on steroids. Your comment pretty much proves my point - people hear about the steroid and can't see past it even when it's not a factor in the equation.

What a sad day. Glad that Big Brown won, and wonderful to see the filly, Eight Bells hold on like she did. They seemed to buddy up together right away following each other and keeping pace. I watched this video earlier too and saw the rider of Eight Bells on the right side of the screen as a shadow flying off her as she went down. That part of the video is no longer on here. WHY? I know what I saw!

I feel really bad for Big Brown. Not that I don't care about Eight Belles, but he had to deal with people hating him for being on the anabolic steriod (which he won twice without and the third he had a hoof problem, which is what they RUN ON so of course that would hurt his chances) and because of the filly collapsing he didn't get all the attention due a Derby winner.

Eight Belles. Barbaro. Things have got to change in the racing 'industry' here in the US. They need to run horses whose skeletons are fully developed so they don't break limbs, to breed them to have larger, stronger bones, to train them instead of break them, to breed and run them for endurance, not speed. And more importantly- it needs to be isolated to A circuit. The backyard/over-breeding is why the market is flooded with unwantedhorses who are sent to slaughter in Canada/Mexico.

I love how people who know nothing about horse racing can hear about something like Eight Belles and decide they know everything about the sport and give their 2 cents on how cruel it is, yes there are some problems with the sport but nothings perfect. For people who dont know she didnt go down during the racing it was after, she tripped while being slowed, ill admit i cried for her but that could happen to any horse anywhere. Accidents happen everywhere unfortunately, its a part of life.

Oh Eight Belles, what a heart, what a valiant effort, what a tragic result of innocent horse courage and drive coupled with line breeding that guarantees disaster. All the horses in the race descended from Native Dancer? Breed out! Give these noble "beasts" a chance to do what they are meant to do, run to make the humans rich, but without sacrificing their lives in agony.

Nice race by Big Brown, but I'm done watching the horses. Eight Belles was the last straw. How many times do we have to watch horses get run to their death? Barbaro was a fine race horse, and we all were hoping for a miracle recovery. Most people only watch the big races, so I would imagine that this is happening rather regularly in the sport. There is no other conclusion than to call it cruelty.

It´s interesting what makes a horse popular. Dieing after a race or winning a race? Sorry but no one talked about Big Brown in any german horse journal. I guess cause many people likes to watch accidents, more then races. -_-' But I´m wondering, why did they had to run AFTER the race?! Well, Eight Belles was a good filly, every horse I know wouldn´t keep running. Didn´t the jockey noticed something? Has she any offsprings?

There were nothing wrong with Eight Bells at the start of the race! Everyone looks for something or someone to blame..I call it what it is .. a very serious injury! It happens to humans when they play sports and sadly it happens to horses. Eight Bells ran a huge race! If a horse is not right mentally or phyical they would not run like she did!
