Hillary Clinton's Horse (R.I.P.) Loses the Race

On Saturday, the Kentucky Derby — which is essentially the Kentucky Derby of horse races — was held in, I think, Tennessee, and Hillary Clinton put her money on Eight Belles, the one female horse, running against a bunch of male chauvinist horses to win…

"I hope that everybody will go to the derby on Saturday and place just a little money on the filly for me," Sen. Clinton told supporters in Jeffersonville, Ind., ABC News reports. "I won't be able to be there this year – my daughter is going to be there and so she has strict instructions to bet on Eight Belles."

Isn't that cute?

Unfortunately, Eight Belles came in second place to (I'm not making this up) a horse named Big Brown, suffered a fatal injury and had to be euthanized immediately following the race.

That's less cute.
