Ruffian ~Tribute

Ruffian (April 17, 1972 - July 7, 1975) was an American champion thoroughbred racehorse who won 10 consecutive races, usually by wide margins. In July 1975, she entered a highly anticipated match race with Kentucky Derby winner Foolish Pleasure, in which she broke down. Surgery was attempted but Ruffian reacted poorly and exacerbated the injuries while coming out of anesthetic. As a result, she was humanely euthanized.
On this day, 42 years ago, Ruffian broke down in the match race. She will forever be missed..

She is legendary, nobody is better than her.

[@brooklyn3061]

Secretariat will ALWAYS be better than every horse, (my opinion) No horse can be better than him

[@jenniferbeyer6412]

[@janetgallo5720]

It’s just a tragedy. Wether she was the best or the second best it doesn’t even matter. She lost her life so young and in such horrific way that it just tears at your heart.

[@horselover-nd2ck]

Go ruffian, be wild and have fun with totilas, dreamer and other Wild horses

[@Alina.White5]

Ruffian is the best filly

[@harperdiscoball4684]

i feel so bad for her

[@charmmusicoriginal]

May She Rest In Peace 🙏

[@spaz5138]

And best racehorse and filly in the world

[@kaileyallen7563]

So sad what happened to her. Because of her story, we have so many new medical advances that have saved countless lives. Many horses who suffer injuries in the heat of a race like this are woken up in large pools now, so they can thrash about when they wake up and be much less likely to hurt themselves. Had we known then what we know now, she would’ve lived a full life still, even if her racing career had been ended

[@lexi_0534]

Yes.. its realy sad...

[@johnwalsh3215]

Heartbreaking, but at least some good things came from from her with medical treatment for horses
RIP beautiful girl!

A maior egua de corridas de todos os tempos, Ruffian ,e o maior cavalo de corridas de todos os tempos ,Secretariat

[@sanny.ivanova]

My love 🖤🌹

[@seabiscuit7116]

No horse had the same speed as her

[@marialibby3179]

I agree and ruffian always liked being in the front of the races she was in, however I like to put in that she won all of her races because when she broke down she was in front of Foolish Pleasure and I would of liked to put it as a win for the filly not the Colt

[@johannalapuste4720]

yes not even secreatariat! she is the best horse EVER

[@hella_gabbert_fan8892]

[@montanamountaingarden476]

Give me a freaking break, you did not own Ruffian, you probably didn't even know who she was until seeing this video.

[@pegasusgamer3509]

The owner of Ruffian was definitely not you. Please don’t lie about it

[@pegasusgamer3509]

Also, Ruffian’s owners are dead… 1988 and 1987. They were husband and wife

[@lexi_0534]

But it is not sure how shergar died. Because he Was lost and no one has ever found him.. nobody knows what happend to Him..

[@montanamountaingarden476]

You said earlier that you were the owner of Ruffian you troll. You don't own either of the horses and judging by an earlier comment, don't know the first thing about either one of them, considering you don't even know the true reason of why Ruffian was euthanized or even the order the events happened that day
