When a metaphor goes horribly horribly wrong

Hillary was backing Eight Belles, the only filly racing in the Kentucky Derby today, suggesting a metaphorical parallel to Hillary's presidential race. After finishing second, Eight Bells collapsed on the track moments after crossing the finish line. Both of her front legs were broken and she had to be euthanized.

The winner of the Derby? A horse named Big Brown.
