Ruffian wins the Triple Tiara with another masterful performance.
Frank Y. Whiteley trained champions such as Tom Rolfe, Damacus, and Forego, but he is best remembered as the trainer of Ruffian. Two days after her death he glanced at her old stall at Belmont and said, "That stall will never be occupied as long as I have this barn. There'll never be another horse worthy of entering it."

  • Ah ... Wire to wire @ 12f on the dirt! They raced 'em well back then!

  • @k7m4 hot n nasty was closer...

  • I liked the statement that this was Ruffian's final race "we wish to remember her by".

  • I saw Ruffian live at the Coaching Club American Oaks, later on in 1995, people dont remember this was a very strong group of fillies, Copernica (One eyed Filly) was actually higher rated early on as was Hot n'Nasty, You had Sir Ivors Sorrow and Point in time, as well as Laughing bridge. Ruffian beat them all and beat them handily. One reason records where shattered, as this group could fly, Ruffian was just faster...

  • It's a standard expression for the beginning of the race:

    "And they're off!" ("Und sie sind ab").

  • LOLZ. She's way too good, though. She was ours to borrow but never to keep.

  • she was 1-20 in this one....thats pretty scary for any horse to go off that price

  • Ruffian could have gone around again and they would have never caught her. When those horses bunched up behind that was just an illusion. They were desperate and all they could hope for was that she couldn't get 12 furlongs.
