"Hillary sent Chelsea to leverage “free” publicity by backing (and wagering on) the only female in the race. It would be interesting to review all the clever analogies prepared for the Sunday news shows if the filly had “beat the boys”."
Poor little Eight Belles. Lke so many others who the Clinton's have chosen to be involved with.. the ending for these unfortunates is not a happy one!!
I remember hearing about Hillary backing 8 Belles before the race. I was only half listening, but remember thinking that I wouldn’t want that kind of backing and really had a bad feeling. When I heard of the tragic injuries I felt that deja vu feeling and had to do a web search to see if I was right about what I had heard. I hope they have big green pastures in Horse Heaven.
If Eight Belles had won, we’d have heard nothing else for weeks.
