Filly Euthanized After 2nd Place Finish

ESPN: Tragedy at the Kentucky Derby

It’s always sad to see this happen. Barbaro at the Preakness two years ago was a particularly gut-wrenching story for me.

Meanwhile, it hasn’t gone unnoticed that Hillary Clinton had drawn comparisons to herself and Eight Belles, the only filly in the race. Among the comments:

  • Hillary has big ankles… she won’t be euthanized.
  • The horse was running from sniper fire as it turns out.
  • Does the Democratic Party have the same rule for mortally wounded second place finishers?
