Ruffian, you were the greatest. You'll never be forgotten.

Still living on in my heart in 2020. Never forgotten. May you live on in the hearts of your fans for all eternity. FOREVER RUFFIAN!

Thank you She broke her right foreleg in a match race aganist Foolish Pleasure on July 6, 1975. She spent 12 hours in surgery needing to be revived twice. While breaking up from the surgery she thrashed around breaking the cast and hurting her leg even more. She could not go though another surgery. She was euthanized on July 7, 1975 at 2:20 am. She was buried under the flag pole at Belmont Park with her nose facing the finsh line. Your english is really good.

She died to young R.I.P Ruffian 🕊❤️😭🥇

Ruffian the queen of racing RIP

To hard for me to watch - used to hot walk for Campo & Ross barns and everyday I'd go by her stall say hello some days give her a apple She was a LIVING FLAME that GOD loaned to Us for a fleeting moment R.I.P. Gorgeous

I love you ruffian 🥺

Oh my God...I can't...I can't watch all the way through... it breaks my heart.

Me too 😢 But I watch it for HER ; she deserves to be remembered and mourned for 💔

Tragic loss of a great filly! She didnt have to die! The owners should have listened to Frank...😢

We Love you Ruffian always never forgotten Ruffian

The best ones always go :'( love you Ruffian R.I.P

So beautifully edited... This movie is sooo sad :(

I think she is the greatest race horse ever. She never had a chance to fulfill the expectations of her races.

R.I.P beautiful girl you will be in our heart forever

They are from ESPN's movie Ruffian. It was the true story of the Queen of Fillies. She is thought to be one of the best racers of all time. She broke her leg in the great match race against Foolish Pleasure.

Why did she have to go so young? She was destine for greatness. She was so fast and powerful like a mustang on the highway. I gave her a nickname," Black Blur"! She was by far the greatest filly of her time and could've been of all time. She's the only filly that I've ever seen in my life that could keep that kind of speed for such a long distance.She would've been Horse Of The Year and would've been put in the Hall Of Horses!:( :(

Well, there are awards which she won: U.S. Champion 2-Yr-Old- Filly (1974) 4th U.S. Triple Tiara Champion (1975) U.S. Champion 3-Yr-Old- Filly (1975) And her honours: U.S. Racing Hall of Fame (1976) #35 - Top 100 U.S. Racehorses of the 20th Century #1 - Top U.S Female Racehorse of the 20th Century Ruffian Handicap at Belmont Park every year TV film from 2007 A lot of books. And many, many tributes on You Tube :D

this song should be used for a any other race horse ever to live only for her we miss you so much Ruffian but i guess you love to leave us guessing what would of happened that day you broke down Because you didn't want to have 1 horse to be shamed love you girl

She was magnificence personified. Regal and majestic, wrapped in speed and beauty. Will there ever be another that'll bear such comparison? I hope so, but... Love you, girl! RIP. Who can deserve it more than you, my love.

Beautifully done. I was a 9 year old little girl and in love with Ruffian. Part of my little heart broke forever when she died, and I carry her with me still. Thank you for taking the time to make a lovely tribute.

One by one , Only the good die young , They're only flying too close to the sun . - but we'll remember - always

We will never forget RUFFIAN Love so much

RUFFIAN yur sound of your hoove beats pounding on the track the sound of you winning the sound of when we heard you hurt the sound we heared you being put down brought all/of close to each other RUFFIAN god bless you baby girl

Bless Ruffian ❤

The tragedy is they didn't check that the both the broodmare and sire were healthy and had no issues with their bones. If they had done, they had found that not only did Ruffian's parents but grandparents both had limb break downs leading to offspring being at risk of having softer bones. Weak bones combined with an extremely intensive exercise regime too young, early breaking, weight carrying before the bones are hardened at 3-5 years of age. The problem with fillies is their bones are not hardened yet, leading to a chronic lameness by the time the horse is 10 years old.

Oh I think her trainer new that and did his home work.. is why he was careful to pick the races and spread out her races ... She had the best trainer out there who actually cared about her and her well being .. She should of never run that race and he new it, but when owners and that bs media outlets and need to save racing crap put the pressure on him to race her.. Probably genetics played its part but people will never get over her passing ever..

We have to be reminded that the best tech and medicines were not as good as what is available now. I know what you mean about her bloodline having dangerous leg issues BUT even without the match race she likely would have broken down as a 3 yr old. Some race or training breeze it was inevitable. I wonder what has become of that bloodline today?Have breeders avoided continuing the chancy blood? I wish I knew.

The day Ruffian the pride of Camden South Carolina died in a Match race that should never have happened Godbless you always Ruffian the Shenanigans and reviewer filly ❤🙏

Beautiful baby girl

gone but not forgotten the best horse in my eyes🙏🏽❤

Thank you =)

Aww great video rp girl xxxxxxxxx

I NEVER WATCHED HORSERACING AGAIN!!!!

Live it and live Riffian also to my puppy who died now Blackie has to move on and find a new friend Blackie and Brownie (one who died :'( ) were brothers poor Blackie we all mess him too Blackie :'(

😢 …

U can watch it on youtube

You can buy, but I think it is discontinued so you would have to buy it off amazon or Ebay.

😮😦😧🥺🤧😭

for a racehorse 4 is considered quite old, they have to get them trained and running when they are young so they have all the energy they can get "/ why can't they just race cobs? it might not be as fast but there would be less accidents like this! x

biedna biedna

"Ruffian" It was an ESPN movie with Sam Shepherd

Which it is a song

Why can't they at least wait until the foals are fully grown. Then there wouldn't be stuff like this. I hate horse racing so much. The foals are too delicate to run themselves out like that.

What are the lyrics?

She broke her leg during a match race with Foolish Pleasure the 3 year old Derby winner in 1975. They took her in for an extensive surgery. As she was coming out of anesthesia, she began thrashing around breaking her elbow and slipping the cast re-injuring the broken leg. She was euthanized and is buried at her home track, Belmont Park, with her nose pointed towards the finish line. ESPN has a great movie about Ruffian's life. It is a bit graphic.

not now she died on the track as you can see this is the movie about her

She made a wrong step because she got suprised by a pigeon. You can see that in interviews and videos from the real race

yeah well i kept watching the video and its the gate that broke her leg because when the gates opened ruffians gate didn't open all the way and she hit her sholder on the gate
