Eight Belle?

That animal was LOVED and WORTH tons (not just $ wise). Naked Dog and Jalford have the right answers here. It was the kindest thing to do to put her down. They put her down on the track because she needed at least one good front leg to get her into the ambulance. Her chances nil, she was put down there instead of letting her suffer tremendously. I can't imagine how her owner, trainer, and jockey must feel. :( How sad. I am sure they would not want their loss and the suffering of their horse broadcast all over television. I am sure that those in charge of the coverage chose to focus on Big Brown out of compasion for the owners and the filly.
