I agree with 2taggs2 she didn't race the best and when she did she broke down so you can't put her as the best. And MAN O WAR is the best ever not scretariat. And they took the name big red from man o war. Man o war was the first ever horse to be called big red and was the ever
I can't consider Ruffian one of the best ever - simply because she never ran against colts. Yes. She was probably the best filly ever... but to put her in the company of Secretariat is ludicrous. She never ran the Derby, Preakness, or Belmont - let alone win one or all of them. It's a shame what happened to her, but you can't put her in the "greatest" ever class.
she didint die just because her back legs got hurt,she died because she was racing foolish pleasure and she was running to fast and broke her canon!whitch is her ankle,have you seen the movie ruffian?she had a heart of a champion and when her front leg got broke they lade her down and she was moving her front legs,like she was still runing,no matter how bad that pain hurt her she was still runing like a champion but they dident want her to suffer any move and she was put down
@Mrsna4067 Ruffian hit the starting gate w/her left shoulder puttin all her weight on her right leg. thats what made her break down not cuz she was running fast
did nanyone hear about secertarit? hes the best he was so cute when all he did is run in the feild but one his lammatidist was so bad they couldent put him in the pasture they where afraid he would run after that they put him down :(
saddest movie ive ever seen i remeber crying 4 hours i couldent stop i wish i couldove seen her when she was alive i rember waching that movie when i was little if she fineshed the race she would of beat him
k u did a really amzing job of the video and so did she she had played her part in life yet i still wish she was alive and had won that race and not have died its almost like i was in the stands waiting for her to cross the finsh line frist
Great description for her! All I can say is that she had heart and LOVED to run. I could probably say a lot more about her but that'd take me years. She's just perfect in every way.
I got the DVD and I like it very much though they should have paid much more attention to the details: you can see sometimes that the horse playing Ruffian was a male (!), and as far as I know, she was rather "Squeaky's horse" than Whiteley's. I am also not totally satisfied with the guy playing Jacinto Vasquez.
I'll never forget that awful day watching it, I unashamedly cried like a baby when she broke down, as I did when the great Barbaro broke down a couple of years ago. You can clearly see in other videos that she was spooked by the birds flying up in front of her! RIP sweet Ruffian.
and i did watch that broadcast. i recorded it too, every time i watch it i cry my eyes out. its just so horriable how such a wonderful filly had to go like that. and at the end of the movie how they show her eyes close as she is being put down is just so sad.
I cried during Seabiscuit and I am going to cry during this. I also cried watching the Barbaro movie. ='( I cant stand seeing such beautiful animals get hurt....
i own this movie and i cried. during the match race when she shatters her leg it was really graffic and disturbed me they made it look to real but it really gets people thinking just how painful it was it is so sad
I can't believe I actually WATCHED IT! ON TIME TOO! I never do that kind of stuff lol. It was a good movie. I cried almost like a baby. I can't stand seeing horses in pain or watch them die, quick or slow.
Ruffian........that movie turned me into a sobbing mess. I don't think any sound ever got to me as much as that snap that broke her leg.... Goodbye, lovely one, play and run free where no one will ever hurt you again!
she was an amazzazing and she met a tradgic end she didn't have to prove anything everyone new she would of beat foolish pleasure by a lotttttt!!!!!!!! to you ruffian
i watched the movie and i was seriously just crieing histericly. i mean she was so great and she tried so hard and for something that horrible to happen to her its just so sad. when they showed her leg and then the guy who said "as soon as they throw some speed at her she breaks down" GOD! i hate people like that.
yes there are people like that...just awful....I have the Newsweek article (still) where the father ( Moody Jolley) of Foolish Pleasure's trainer is quoted (commenting gracelessly in the inner's circle) "We threw a fast half at the horse and she just unbuckleded"

i saw the movie. It was soo good i luved it. But it did make me cry when the accident happened. Shes the best ever. I think she could of won against Foolish Pleasure.
Wonderful video. I love Ruffian and I've watched every video involving her on youtube, but I'm going to miss the movie with no way to tape it. So depressed. :(
She was the fastest filly alive...and I think she could've won the Derby that year....I was 9 and remember that match race very well....Beautiful work, Carly...just beautiful...BTW, I hear Disney is going to do a film about Secretariat...should be interesting..

Hey HorsePsycho, I ordered it while I'd been in the USA, through a bookshop only for $25.
I see that you live in Australia - well, ask in big bookshops if they could order ir or not..
I live in Hungary which is a bit far from you :), but if I could send you a copy as a collect package (to charge forward, you know) I would try.

I think he is saying that when foolish pleasure picked up the speed, ruffian couldnt handle it. and that is why she broke down.
Thats pretty horrible to say..
