I need a happy ending to Eight Belles?

Question

I'm writing a tribute speech on her, but I can't end it on a happy note... can someone help me?

Answer 1

Eight Belles beat 18 of the 19 best colts of the year - her heart and determination to win were just stronger than her body would allow.  Additionally, many horses will be saved because of her - the author of "Seabiscuit" rescued a horse from slaughter in honor of Eight Belles, and the racing industry has formed a committee to look at all aspects of racing to see how it can be made safer. There is also a petition to ring eight belles at next year's derby in her memory.  I think all of these things are positives -- I hope that helps.

Answer 2

Answer 3

Answer 4

she ran second to a monster in big brown...if he wins the tripple he will go down in history as a horse to rember. 8 belles will always be remembered for running second to big brown...not to shabby...

Answer 5

She was undefeated until the Kentucky Derby and she beat 18 other horses in that race.She was amazing and it was awful that she had that accident!! She was a wonderful talented horse who did not have a happy ending!!
