@ZenyattaLuvr I love your wording here. I agree with you all the way.

@johnofohu123 who said Ruffian would be forgotten? almost everyone who is interested in horse racing knows about her, shes a legend... n i think shes more of the Queen of past racing. i think of Zenyatta as the present Queen, and now im just waiting for the Queen yet to come.

@ZenyattaLuvr Ruffian is still the queen and never will be forgotten..

@serbellam Well, maybe that "curse" had no effects on Rachel Alexandra, but it had on Eight Belles. ._.
-
omg that's so sad....

@Liese1997 Why would you blame the jockey for this? It was a horrible accident that occured. This "stupid jockey" suffered horrible injuries because of this race and you can't just go blaming him. Those whips are actually made so they don't hurt, and Go For Wand died doing what she loved. That is a horrible thing to say.

Poor horse. R.I.P. Stupid jockey. That's what happens when you struck , as on his horse

Must have hurt for the jockey too.....

@ruffianruleswolfrule Go For Wand, Ruffian didn't look like that. But yeah, I watched this for the first time this evening, and it does look eerily similar to me.
The tragedy unfolded on NBC on live television, and painfully reminded viewers of Ruffian, another promising filly who was fatally injured on the track. In a strange coincidence, several veterinarians estimate that she actually broke her leg about twelve strides before she fell. This would have meant that "Wanda" suffered her catastrophic injury while passing the flagpole that Ruffian was buried next to.

I watched her breakdown on tv that day. I also saw Ruffian's that day, years ago. Both heartbreaking days. I never really thought about it, but these comments do make me think. Ruffian was definitely a diva with much attitude. It is very strange that Go For Wand broke down where she did. But, maybe not. If Ruffian was responsible, Rachel Alexandra would have broken down when she won the Oaks. If that had happened, then there really would be a curse.
