Had she lived........well in my opinion.....the horse that every horse today would aspire to be would be the one your watching above right now...Ruffian.....I've never seen a horse like this. Ever....She blew everyone out of the water when she raced.....had she lived.....she would have been the Greatest Race Horse of all time....period....when you have the Trainer of Secretariat say she may be better than his own horse-a horse most call the Greatest of all time-well that tells you everything....

I think Ruffian was a hell of a horse - but even Sports Illustrated ranked Zenyatta as the best Filly of all-time (Ruffian #2). And I agree with that ranking... Zenyatta raced against Colts - and her only loss out of 20 races was by a head. I just wish Ruffian would have raced against Colts before this disaster of a race so there would be no debate.

Native Dancer also passed his unsoundness issues to both his other famous offspring. Both Sunday Silence and Barbaro were of the same blood....and both were brought down (ultimitely) by Laminitis. Ruffian was not alone with family bloodlines that has issues in leg and foot.

Ruffian, R.I.P.
I would ever love you ♥'

She was among the all time greats. If not for the unsoundness, she might have retired undefeated. I have always thought how she always ran on her right lead, indeed like Alydar, that might have stressed that leg even more. In watching Native Dancer I see he ran on this lead often as did Raise a Native his son. Reviewer was an unsound horse that should never have been put to stud. May she rest in peace.
Comparing Ruffian, Rachel Alexandra and Zenyatta is impossible. Which is the best? Our hearts tell us Ruffian because of her spirit. The truth is...we all want another Ruffian. The sad part is....there won't be another.
Ruffian is the best and will always be because she earned it....she earned our hearts. Nothing else compares.

Ruffian is the filly that all other fillies are compared too...There will never be another like her...The best we can do is to just come close and be happy with that.
