The Stimulus
In January, Congress approved $152 billion in economic stimulus checks for millions of American households, intended to boost the economy and avert a recession. Just how this money will be spent remains to be seen. We hope this website helps shed some light on where the stimulus money is going.

Eight Belles was euthanized on the track after breaking both front ankles and she Placed (2nd).
With my $900 I can buy four or five TBs from the kill buyer and save them from slaughter!

TO OTTB - good work! FOBs will love you for it. If I had put money on Eight Belles I would have had to donate it all to save the horses from the kill buyers. Wouldn't have been able to enjoy the win after what happened to her. After Barbara I swore I'd never watch racing again but I broke down (oops bad analogy) to watch Eight Belles in the Derby. Preakness - I'll be a no show.
