Unlike the idiots from Peta and Liberal Socialist Squirrels out there who are so messed up in their core values to understand the greatness we all witnessed in the 134th running of the Kentucky Derby.
Eight Belles, tragically ran the race of her life and lost it and was euthanized after suffering compound fractures in both front legs. She had been the only horse to even make Big Brown nervous in the final furlong. She was a lovely creature her trainers, owners and handlers put all their heart into. If there was anything sinister going on, you can believe me that horse people would take care of it in house with a good old Kentucky ass kicking. However, there wasn’t.
It was just a testament of the commitment of a horse to the race and her place in Kentucky Derby history. Eight Belles and her jockey ran into the history books by finishing second ahead of 18 other horses in the 134th running of this Kentucky Derby.
While America is inspired by her story and testament to what we all need to do in every task we take up. We truly need to give it “Eight Belles”, that is we need to give everything we have and even more. We must give it all up, leaving nothing for us to say we kept in reserve after our race is run.
Paul talks of Running the good Race, fighting the good fight, and now Eight Belles race is over. I want you to know that we need to give this life we are blessed with our “Eight Belles” Best.
Join me my friends, running the good race and fighting the good fight!
Eight Belles will now forever be known for her selfless giving of herself to accomplish the goal, to run the good race and fight the good fight.
God Speed Eight Belles, I pray for all those who owned, trained, and handled you especially. They lost you at the height of your career. They never thought they would not be taking you to the next race.
But, your race is run, and your fight is over!
We will feel the excitement you had for your sport this weekend and again in the Preakness where your Big Brown, the only horse who beat you that special day will try to make you proud and put together a run at the Triple Crown.
America will join this sport with a great watchful eye. Our American Spirit is tied to this Sport.
Who will take a run at the inevitable dominant Big Brown? Who will tragedy strike? Who will emerge the victor and lead us into the Belmont for the final leg. I pray it is Big Brown. I think he has a Triple Crown he needs to win for a beautiful girl who gave it her “Eight Belles”
