Enjoy. I was bored! I had fun though! Haha!

They're all so pretty. I like Big Brown. It was so sad that Eight Belles had to be euthanized... it was horrible what happened to her. I didn't get to see the Derby for like, the first time in years...

I felt so bad for eight belles she was young! Oh I also made a little horse memorial for her on the form if you can would anyone just post rip or something? Also I love those pics!

Yay Big Brown!!!! I was so mad wen I saw eight belles go down :(

Omg! Her legs are bent the wrong way in that picture! :'( :'(

Aww that's a shame. :(
Cute pictures, though!

What happened to her actually? I understand she finished the race anyway. Just SO sad...

Fab pictures, thankyou.

Kitten_Val, it was just another racing breakdown - babies being worked to hard, too young and compounded by the fact that racehorses are not bred for longerm soundess. Their legs just can't stand up to it - so sad. She had so much heart and talent and it was all wasted.

Horrible! HOW people can do it.... :(

Yeah, it is. :(
