so who was everyone rooting for? and what was everyone's reactions? I was rooting for eight belles (was extremely pleased/shocked/devastated when she got second. and with everything that happened afterward). Visionaire, Adriano and Monba. But I also have a question about eight belles' pedigree. I know she is an Unbridled descendant, but doesn't that family line have a slight history of soundness issues, or am I thinking of a different family line (besides that of ruffian)?

I was rooting for Anak Nakal and Eight Belles, so I was pleased with both finishes. Eight Belles was simply a tragedy. She's by Unbridled's Song (by Unbridled), who had unsoundness problems himself when he was racing and has passed on that problem to many of his foals, from the looks of things. Eight Belles is just one of many of his that have come up with fractures, etc.

I was also rooting for Eight Belles. That was so upsetting that she broke down, and had to be put down. I just hate when that happens. As a side note, I loved seeing the Budweiser Clydesdale commercial again.

I was rooting for Eight Bells, it was so sad that she had to be put down after the race. She ran an amazing race.
I wonder if Big Brown will be the Triple Crown winner. only one more race left.
