Waiting for details on Eight Belles

I heard via a viewer from home (my dad) that Eight Belles was euthanized. While I saw that she was having problems coming out of the race, and figured it was bad news when she laid down, it is so almost impossible to get information if you're actually on the track or not watching in front of a television.

I was in the paddock when NBC's Donna Brothers brought jockey Gabriel Saez back from the track, but he quickly rushed off to the jockeys room and didn't have an immediate comment...

broke both ankles and was euthanized immediately. They are NOT talking about it on nbc at all!

NBC just showed her breakdown, since we apparently needed to see that...at least Ivarone mentioned it and was respectful, so I don't share my general dislike of Dutrow with him.
