She ran a magnificent race and I thought she might give "Big Brown" a challenge in the Preakness. Sadly, we will never know. I hate it when these beautiful animals are hurt so badly. I cried my eyes out and still grieve today for this magnificent filly lost too soon and too young. My deepest condolences to Larry Jones, Richard Porter, and all those connected to Eight Belles.Eleanornoreply@blogger.com
