There is a petition in support of ringing eight bells at the 2009 Kentucky Derby in tribute of the great filly who was euthanized at the derby two weeks ago.
Here is an article giving information on this movement.
Eight Bells for Eight Belles?
"The phrase "eight bells" notes the ending of one watch and the beginning of another on a ship. It also can be a way of saying that a sailor's lifelong watch is over, as in an obituary."

Please, if you can, sign it! She was such a gallant and courageous filly and she most definitely deserves to be acknowledged next year.
