Yes, she shattered her leg as she was pulling away from Foolish Pleasure. What made it worse was that she did not want to stop but kept trying to run. Her jockey jumped off her and had to fight her to get her to stop. This action cause tremendous damage to her leg and even though the surgery was sucessful - she fought so hard that she broke the cast and had to be put down. I still cry. She was awesome to watch. Fastest filly ever.
I love Ruffian & Seabiscuit
