I strongly disagree with PETA ON THIS ONE! I was at the Derby and Eight Belles showed no indications there was anything wrong with her. She just simply went down at the last minute--the Jockey had nothing to do with any of it! Larry Jones, the trainer of Eight Belles, wouldn't have ran the filly is he had thought anything was wrong with her. Also, keep in mind here that the jockey, Gabriel Saez, could have gotten hurt or worse. How do ya'll feel about this?
