Ruffian has been gone 40 years now, and there still hasn't been another Filly as Talented or as Fast or as Beautiful as the Greatest Filly in the World, Past, Present or Future. RIP BABY GIRL.
@@anna-oc1xs Ruffian... 10 race wins against only fillies and mares... Black Caviar won 25 races... only 2 were restricted races.... one win she set a weight carrying record in a G1 open handicap. Winx won 25G1's... only 1 was restricted. Ruffian might have been Pegasus but her record doesn't stack up.
WOW! Thank you for putting this together. As a racing fan, I've always known that Ruffian was one of the best fillies ever, but watching her run in these videos was jaw-dropping, what with all the track and stakes records she smashed, and the easy, dominating fashion she did it. Such a treat and blessing to watch this...thank you!!
It was never difficult to find Ruffian. At every point of call in every race she ever ran Ruffian was in front, even up to the point her leg snapped in the match race with Foolish Pleasure. Ruffian - 8 stakes races, 8 stakes wins, 8 stakes records, and 39 years later, 7 of those records still stand. Ruffian - the greatest filly of all time.
Kinscem, Sceptre, Artful, Fashion, Shuvee. All, great racing horses whose accomplishments exceeded those of Ruffian. Black Caviar also deserves mention. Without further reference tot he greats of the past stretching back to the 19th Century, even Shuvee won TWO JC Gold Cups, against males. Also, take a look at Princess Rooney's run in the 1984 Breeder's Cup Distaff where she ran 1 FULL SECOND faster than Wild Again at the same distance, just 1/2 hour earlier than the Classic, probably the main reason they never ran the Distaff at that distance again. As for Ruffian herself? Possibly, an avoidable tragedy. That bone crack which ended here 2-yo season should have warned them, this gal runs real hard with no reserve, so watch her closely with the vet.
People today talk about Zenyatta who was a superstar and elite. But Ruffian was on a whole other level. Not just 1 of the best fillies but one of the greatest horses ever. Arguably top 3 or 4
A superb one of a kind courageous filly, we might not ever see another one like her, rest in peace precious girl you will never be forgotten.. Ruffian.❤️
That match race was so horrific I never watched a horse race live again. Which means I watched no horse races for over thirty years, until reruns were broadcast on RUclips.
Thank you for not showing that final race. It's still hard to watch. I love you, Ruffian. Forever, our gift from G-d! You can fly with the angels, now! ❤
Been reading up a lot about this filly (I'm from the UK)... you have put together a hell of a video... well done and a great testament to one of the greatest girls to ever race.... 10/10
Thank-you to whomever made this video available to the rest of us. Such a beautiful filly, I just saw the video that shows her braking down, and its enough to make a person cry.I believe her sire was a son of Bold Ruler, so she was related to the great late Secratariet.Micheline Kribs. Rolla,Mo. Rest In Peace girl with so many other greats
Thank you for this..... Ruffian is a great love of mine. I never have found - maybe you know this - shortly after Jim McKay wrote and broadcasted remarks about her death, why she mattered, why we cared and cared so much
.... perhaps it aired on a broadcast of Wide Wide World of Sports (my memory seems to indicate that) the next week-end, I am not sure .... but I have ever since wished I had that quote, word for word - it so touched me - they were healing words
I like her far more than Secretariat because she was just as amazing, if not more so and she proved that she didn't have to be a man to be as incredible as the great horses of the past.
So beautiful, good music, but I know what comes next, and I don't know if I want to cry today. Does it seem like the colts have more press coverage?? I remember the match race. I watched it on t.v. But, even though I was 14,,, it just seems like alot of the general public was not as familiar with her as they were, say, Secretariat, even though she was as great. Did she get the magazine coverages as Sec did???
The benchmark in which other great fillies and mares are measured against. Zenyatta, Rachel Alexandra, whoever. All are measured against the achievements and ability that this dynamic filly possessed.
Really great job... But I had to say you made some mestakes about her lengts... Everything else is perfect... :-) Video quality is good... Great job, waiting for the next part... :-)

@TheCptnSQUASH I watched a clip that was showing the two coming toward the camera, which showed birds flying in front of her. It appeared she spooked hard. There was talk that, perhaps, this lead to her injury. Any thoughts???
parabuteo78, Hi - I am very impressed with your videos and was hoping that you could help me to get a copy of the soundtrack. I have been searching everywhere and read from your post that you were given a copy. Is there any way you can help me out or at least point me in the right direction? I too love sound track music, and actually just visited the grave of Ruffian last week at Belmont Park. Please help out a fellow fan? ~ ian

@@anna-oc1xs she is way way way way way way way way way better than winx and black caviar.
RUFFIAN IS THE BEST RACEHORSE IN THE WORLD..

Ruffian is the greatest American female racehorse. No American filly or mare could beat her.

Quite a superbly put together feature... fitting tribute to the great filly... many thanks
your videos are amazing, please continue with the great work. Thanks for posting these about the best filly that has ever lived
I live how not many people do this but people like you who take text time to make videos like these

what a beautiful horse so sad watching this
I love ruffian
I like her far more than Secretariat because she was just as amazing, if not more so and she proved that she didn't have to be a man to be as incredible as the great horses of the past.
Not one of the greatest fillies. The Greatest Filly ever.
So beautiful, good music, but I know what comes next, and I don't know if I want to cry today.
Does it seem like the colts have more press coverage?? I remember the match race. I watched it on t.v.

Its people like you who do her great justice.

Where did you get the OST from the movie?
What is the name of this music I have been trying to find that for a while
@TheCptnSQUASH I watched a clip that was showing the two coming toward the camera, which showed birds flying in front of her. It appeared she spooked hard.
There was talk that, perhaps, this lead to her injury. Any thoughts???
Wow. Am just finding the great and graceful Ruffian. So, if Bold Ruler sired her, doesn't it make her Secretariat's sister?
parabuteo78,
Hi - I am very impressed with your videos and was hoping that you could help me to get a copy of the soundtrack. I have been searching everywhere and read from your post that you were given a copy. Is there any way you can help me out or at least point me in the right direction? I too love sound track music, and actually just visited the grave of Ruffian last week at Belmont Park. Please help out a fellow fan?
