Ruffian crushes her opponents in her debut.
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."

She knew what she was from the very beginning. The great ones always do.

She looked like Florence Griffith Joyner running against some 6th grade girls. What an awesome display of ability.

Yeah, it's kinda hard to see from the side, but from head-on it's really noticeable. Good to see ya!

That swinging right front leg of hers is interesting to me. What an incredible performance!

Yes, it flared out quite a bit.
Ruffian sure made the most of her debut. Stunning.
Take care.
