Closed Minds
Sorry that Eight Belles died.
More people should open their eyes. In the rest of the world, fillies face the boys with success all the time. Only in this closed minded country is it looked at as a stupid move. I hope Eight Belles' performance today helps to change the minds of some people. I hate getting called stupid like I did when I suggested that the top fillies this year could run with the boys. She didn't win but she was far clear of the rest of the field and it took a potential superhorse to beat her. The decision to run here here was absolutely the right one. Hopefully now, we see Proud Spell facing the boys in races like the Haskell and Travers. She's at least as good as Eight Belles is and that's better than any male that will be in those races later, save for Big Brown.
