everything is a gimick with her.

Kentucky is about 80 to 1 for Clinton over obama. Sometimes things work out as they should. I hope the filly wins.

I hope the filly wins the Derby. I know Hillary will win Kentucky!

The filly's name is spelled Eight Belles, with an 'e'.

I always root for the fillies. It takes a lot of talent and heart for a filly to make it to the Kentucky Derby.

Finally an Omen!
The filly will lose the Kentucky Derby
just as Hillary Clinton will lose
the Democrat Presidential Nomination
to Obama! Hillary the "Bell(s) tolls
for Thee"!

Is this an example of what she would base her decisions on if she were to become President?

Web Smith:
This is an example of the MSM
bowing to their master, Hillary Clinton
by doing "puff" pieces on her!
They should be asking her why Clinton
Advisor Mickey Kantor Trashed the
People of Indiana!

Poor Eight Bells was put down after the race with 2 broken ankles....

Let's home she wins and decides to ban horseracing.

I HOPE HILLARY KICKS SOME BUTT....

Why assume that all who are dislike the Clintons are Obama people?? Does it not occur to anyone that negative messages could possibly be posted by Republicans?

I agree scott, this is a very sad day and I feel horses have spirits. I know she is out there now free of pain and suffering. Why are you people so cruel, you are the people I loath and I believe you all should go live in Darfur then maybe your remarks would be no more. Damm you for making this political. Eight belles may you be free & running in the heavens.

This story will be remembered forever in American Political History as the Derby Omen. The eerie part of this is that Joe Scarborough on Morning Joe last Friday said "wouldn't it be a tragedy if the filly that Hillary is betting on breaks a leg and needs to get put down on the track".

I was referring to "Robert Robinwitz" post!! not "SCOTT"

I won't ever watch another horse race. I keep saying you'd never pound a trail horse like they pound these races horses when they're still babies. If they would let them grow up before they run them, there wouldn't be so many tragedies on the track. Not much money to be made when a horse isn't running, I guess.

Okay, so Clinton pulls for the filly. So what!?! Eight Belles rest in peace.

Gender and race obviously are important in this political race, and a lot of people do care about that, else it wouldn't come up so often in the news. Why do people have to get so nasty about it? Easy, it's something called FEAR. For one thing, there's a lot of American people worried that a Woman or a Black Man will become the next U.S. President, and they feel threatened by that.

Let's try to focus on the issues at hand, and the views that all the politicians have, rather than focusing so much on gender & race. It's that simple people.

The jockey of the horse eight belles seems to lack alot of experience with only about 3-4 years on the track. This terrible tradegy could have been prevented. Its a shame to run these horses when they are so young. Just to make some money is just sickening. The correlation to the Clintons is just plain stupid

I think it is sickening what racehorse people do to these animals. I agree that they should not be running these horses so hard at such a young age. With show horses, they typically cannot be ridden and shown until atleast 3 years old. This kind of selfish greediness and only thinking about money is definitely representative of the 15%+ of horse owners who are men!!!!

"The correlation to the Clintons is just plain stupid."

I agree.

However, let it be known that the correlation is made because Hillary Clinton, FIRST made the connection. She urged her supporters to go out and support Eight Belles, the only female philly in the KD. Who, happened to be, by the way, on paper most likely to beat BIG BROWN, only to, tragically, come up short.

Like it or not, the symbolism cannot be lost. A shameless ELITIST plug by a presidential candidate who asked her supporters to place a bet, no less, on the lone female philly in the race. It's a irony that cannot be lost.
