Ruffian is not Seattle Slew's granddaughter, Rags To Riches is.
Rags To Riches was sired by A.P.Indy who was sired by Seattle Slew. His dam was by Secretariat. Rags is out of Better Than Honour who also foaled Jazil who won the Belmont Stakes in 2006
The foal by Giant's Causeway is named Riches Causeway. Rags was bred to Henrythenavigator for 2010.
Ruffian died several years before Seattle Slew was foaled.
@LeeAnne151 Actually, Ruffian died in 1975. Seattle Slew was foaled in 1974. So, Ruffian died the year after Seattle Slew was foaled. Which is a shame because had she lived, I think Seattle Slew would have made a perfect mate for her. Not being an asshole, just thought I'd correct you on that.
IF ANYONE KNOWS HOW TO SEND A REQUEST FOR A HORSE TO HAVE A BREYER MODEL AFTER THEM PLEASE TELL ME!!! ALSO, I CAN'T BELIEVE SHES IN FOAL!!! THATS AWESOME! Ruffian is Seatle Slews granddaughter? I didn't know that :P sorry bout the caps, i didn't realize they were on until I was half way through the message. awesome video by the way. shes a gorgeous horse :)
she's just beautiful! if anyone's curious, Rags To Riches foaled a beautiful chestnut filly on March 9th, and has been booked to a stallion by the name of HenryTheNavigator. Rags also passed her white blaze on to her daughter.
Ruffian was a famous racing filly in the 70's, she was in a match race against Foolish Pleasure I believe, and she was leading, snapped her right front leg, ran on for a few steps, and then fell and was euthanized.
i love rags to riches she is my favourite racer of all time i would love to see her an i hope her foal may become a great racer like rags to riches did :):):):)
I can see what you mean if this was a $1000 claimer that couldn't outrun someone's Granny, but this is a champion I think she had earned the right to pass it on. JMO.
yeah bu thave u ever thought that maybe she wouldn't want to foal? DO people ever think about that when they decide to breed horses?!? exactly shut up
Shut up? That is mature. Animals by thier very nature want to procreate. I have worked breeding farms and even the bitchest of mare when in heat would drag someone over to the stallion pin so she can show the stallion she is ready. And mares that were left open for a year would repeatedly try and steal other mare's foals. I guess we can just create foals in the labs thats reasonable and logical.
Isn't that how horses do it in the wild. A mare gives birth, within 14 days she has a foal heat and the stallion comes a calling and will continue to breed her until she stops having her heat cycles for the year. A mares body will let it know if it is not safe for her to carry a foal that year by either not getting pregnant or aborting the foal and that happens in wild and captivity.
My problem with breeding is people breeding horses with no athletic ability and poor confirmation that have greater chances of ending up in slaughter houses or breaking down and that goes for anyone that is breeding horses, even the big names ones in the racing and show areas.
Have you never seen a mare with a stallion who dosn't want to be pregnant? I don't mean to be rude, but if she didn't want to have a baby then she would kick the stallion away.
ok they don't impregnate every ex-racing mare... it's not in human either yes sometimes the stud farms does mistreat the mares but rags is proberly fine with cause she is older enough too
Wow, she's not trying to kill anybody. How kind of Her Highness! But for what it's worth, she was WAY more interested in the Belmont Stakes program that showed her all the boys she beat than her Breyer model. =)
Wow! I can't believe the actual Rags to Riches gets to see her Breyer! I hope her foal is a grand race like its parents! After this foal, they should breed her with Smarty Jones, now that would defiantly be the next triple crown winner! Good luck on your foal Rags!!! =)
When I went to Kentucky for Breyerfest I got to pet her sire, A. P. Indy. HES AWESOME! of course, so is she! :)

Rags was injured in training the year after she won the Belmont Stakes and was retired. She will never race again.
She is royally bred and a great racer and certainly deserves the chance to pass on her genes.
Breyer is an American company and that is likely why they haven't made Shergar and Desert Orchid who are UK racing stars.
I do hope they make Zenyatta and Rachel Alexandera both.
