Curses

Filly Eight Belles breaks down, is euthanized-
All that heart and her gallant fight, however, ended in the worst of all possible ways: a breakdown, an ambulance on the track. And, with no other choice, she was euthanized by injection.
The day began with hope and pomp. Bolstered by the sentimental support from 157,770 fans and endorsed by presidential contender Hillary Clinton and cheered by daughter Chelsea, the filly finished second in the Kentucky Derby on Saturday.
Never ever let a politician bet on your horse. Never ever.
It’s always a shame when a promising animal gets hurt and has to be put down. To do it right on the track in front of over a hundred and fifty thousand people is even worse.

Wow, when I read the first paragraph I thought you were writing about Hillary. Dr. Dean can be tough.
