On Joe Scarborough's MSNBC show "Morning Joe," Willie Geist has a segment called "News You Can't Use." On that segment Friday, May 2, 2008, he points that in one of Hillary's stump speeches, she asks people to bet on the female horse, "Eight Belles" in the 134th Kentucky Derby. Willie says, "Big Brown is the 3-1 favorite to win the first leg of the Triple Crown at Churchill Downs despite the fact he's starting way outside in the 20th position. Well Senator Hillary Clinton is not going with that favorite. She likes...get this...an upstart filly, who will fight to the very end."Joe Scarborough says, "Boy how embarrassing if Eight Belles pulls up lame and they have to put her down."Either Joe was just imaging the worst scenario for Hillary's metaphor or he has an ability to see into the future, because, the worst scenario became a reality. "The victory was overshadowed by an injury to Eight Belles, who broke both front ankles and was immediately euthanized after the race."Big Brown was "the first horse to win from the 20 hole since Clyde Van Dusen in 1929"This was only Big Brown's fourth race in his career!Is this a bad Omen for Hillary or just a lame attempt to play the gender card that ended up being a parallel she will regret making. Do you think Joe Scarborough feels bad that he laughed about it even though it was before the race and the chances of that happening were extremely slim?

All horses are slow and hard to stop, racehorse or not. Belle was not "refusing" to stop, she was slowing down gradually.

Tell me about it.

Eight Belles was a filly, not a mare. And most of the horses in the Derby are colts, not gelding. And why can't the fillies race the colts? Did you watch the 2007 Belmont Stakes?

It make me sick that these idiots are making all these comments about the Derby and Eight Belles when they know nothing about racing or "Belle." I know they didn't know Eight Belles would die, but that's something you don't joke about. How dare people make fun or her, alive or not. It's aimed at Hillary, but leave the horse out of it. Hillary actually had sense here, Eight Belles fought to the end like a tiger. RIP Belle. I still miss you, baby.

What are you talking about??!?!?!

Dont know anything about racing, do you? Eight Belles was a FILLY, racing against COLTS...not geldings. Most racers are uncut males, and there wasnt a single gelding in the Derby.

I hate horse racing.Why is it in this world everything has to be the Fastest the BIggest the StrongestIts so cruel to do this to animals.

eight belles is a great she beat all 18 boys how great is she
castleguardian (December 31, 1969 at 6:59 pm)
give me one founded reason why mares or in this case fillies shouldn't race against colts? fillies can be just as fast if not faster than colts, it all depends on the horse. eight bells would have broken her ankles wether she was racing against colts or other fillies, it has nothing to do with the fact that she was racing the opposite sex...

Her breaking down had nothing to do with running against the boys. The same thing could have happened if she had run in the Oaks the day before against the fillies.
