Your comments are much appreciated, and I think representative of how most people are feeling.<BR/><BR/>Matt, I always root for the filly. Genuine Risk was the first horse I ever betted on in the Kentucky Derby, she went off at 10-1; and as you may remember almost won the Triple Crown. She was 2nd in the Preakness and 2nd in the Belmont to two different horses. The media doesn't talk about it, but her record of 1-2-2 in all three triple crown races is the best record overall in the triple crown since it was last won back in 1978.<BR/><BR/>It's always sad to hear about a racehorse, or any animal, having to be put down prematurely, but especially at this setting just moments after the race.<BR/><BR/>Cheers!Matthew S.

Two imprisoned Cuban political prisoners come to America, buy a horse and win the Derby -- would have been a great story.<BR/><BR/>But poor Eight Belles.
