Kentucky Derby Is A Bummer

And I'm not just saying that because publicity-whores Spencer Pratt, Heidi Montag and Larry Birkhead were there with their hydrogen-peroxide locks and big, cheesy smiles. The runner-up horse Eight Belles suffered two broken ankles after crossing the finish line and was euthanized at the race.

That is so effing horrible. Has medicine still not figured out a way to help horses heal from injuries like that? Did we spend all of our research money on making penises bigger? Sigh.

This event would have been the perfect opportunity, though, to take out Heidi and Spence. I wonder if someone would have broken the couple's ankles, if Heidi's horse-teeth veneers would have put her at risk for being shot.

It's in the best interest of the horse.

Please stop posting pictures or even writing the names of those two Hills people.

It's an insurance thing.

Horse racing is barbaric.

The reason Eight Belles had to be put down right there on the track is that she had 2 broken ankles. There was no way she could hobble out on her own and there was no way of moving her to treat her nor could she have spent the entire recovery period down. There was no other choice.

I knew that Heidi was attending the Derby, so when I heard a horse had to be put down...I was naturally hoping it was Heidi!

So sad that a beautiful creature like 8 bells is lost and Heidi is still around....life is soooo unfair.
