Eight Belles Legacy is a Thoroughbred Racing Industry Forum that stands as a Tribute to Eight Belles, a beautiful steel grey filly racehorse. Eight Belles life was tragically cut short just moments after running second only to the winner Big Brown during the prestigious 2008 134th running of the Kentucky Derby held at Churchill Downs. She was euthanized right there on the track after making history, proving to the world that she had the true heart of a champion. Eight Belles Legacy would like to establish the creation of a database to help serve the equine community, professionals and fans alike, an opportunity to express your views,concerns,suggestions,questions and expertise about the current state of affairs in the industry today. We hope to serve the industry as one of the many informative resources, as they review and implement new rules to enhance and ensure the safety of our Thoroughbred athletes, jockeys and care givers.
