Hillary picked the filly and . . . condolences

Hillary picked the filly. I have been waiting since the horrible news about Eight Belles came out to see if there would be a discussion of the irony.

The first whiff of it I found was here: http://blogs.abcnews.com/politicalpunch/2008/05/hillarys-horse.html.

By tomorrow morning there will all sorts of people trying to discuss it: fortune? simple irony? warning? untouchable story line?

Personally I believe it will be most interesting in hindsight, say from after the General Election. Then we can look back and see what thematic parallels were there for us to study or what fate mislead us to believe. Either way this types of events are interesting for literary types.
