I feel the horse racing industry should honor Eight Belles, as well as every other competitor, that has given their very best. The Kentucky Derby is "The Race" that every American knows, even if they know nothing else of horse racing. It is every owner, trainer and jockey's dream. It would be a solemn and fitting moment to begin each and every Derby. A pause in the celebration to remember those that have worked so long and dedicated so much to chase that dream. - M. Cleveland; Birmingham, AL	Because of Eight Belles, horseracing will become safer, horses will be saved, and people will someday smile again. Eight Belles has become immortal. With greatest gratitude to her for the joy she has brought us and the joy she will continue to bring when we see the the long-lasting effects she will have for all horses everywhere. - C. Bartle; Sacramento, CA
