@@elisabetta611 Loved and cherished her they may have, but forcing a FILLY to run at unnatural speeds when her bones are still not fully developed and are severely underdeveloped to withstand such conditions is ABUSE. A horse’s skeletal system matures when they’re 5 years old, and Ruffian died because of her injury-her leg snapped because she was still a BABY. A person may love their horse all they want, but still unknowingly abuse the animal. Ruffian didn’t care about the love she received, horses don’t care about that, she just wanted to live a natural horse life. So tell me, what is so ethical about forcing a filly-an underdeveloped mare-to run at extreme, unnatural speeds when her bones are still growing, only for her leg to just snap? Is that ethical? Is it?

My friend was into horse racing, and after watching Secretariat, and Seattle Slew, win triple crown,s I was hooked. We went to the OTB in our town, to place bets. He told me about this horse, that refused to be "headed". So when the race with Foolish Pleasure came up, we went to see it at the OTB office. When Ruffian "broke down" myself and easily 90% of the men watching burst into tears !! I,ve never watched a horse race since, and I never will.

If anyone were to challenge Secretariat's title as the greatest of all time, it's only appropriate it should be a girl from his own family.

And yes, they tried to save her but when she woke up from the operation, she stirred and broke another leg, which caused them to put her down. She also kept running because as long as a nurse knee still moves, it most likely will keep running. She wouldn't have fallen on impact. She loved racing and wanted to keep running.

I remember watching this when I was 15. I’m certain that the flock of birds in the backstretch threw Ruffian off her stride and caused the accident. Her momentum only made the injury worse. The ankle was completely pulverized. There was no way she could recover from that type of injury. I remember crying the next morning when I heard that she’d been euthanized. Burying her whole in the infield at Belmont with her nose pointed towards the finish line is the greatest tribute that could have been paid to her.

+jesusisnotallright s here have a fun fact: As Ruffian left the starting gate, she hit her shoulder hard before straightening herself. The first quarter-mile (402 m) was run in 221⁄5 seconds, with Ruffian ahead by a nose. Little more than 1 furlong (201 m) later, Ruffian was in front by half a length when she changed leads, followed by an audible crack: both sesamoid bones in her right foreleg had snapped. Vasquez tried to pull her up, but the filly would not stop. She went on running, pulverizing her sesamoids, ripping the skin of her fetlock and tearing her ligaments until her hoof was flopping uselessly. Vasquez said it was impossible for him to stop her. She still tried to run and finish the race.

If you can't see when she breaks down you can see the gates behind her a little ways. That means that this wasn't real and the clip of her leg snapping was animated and clipped into the movie. What I'm saying is that they show you them riding the rail on the turn, but there was actually no real turn because if there was, you wouldn't see the gates.

(I know I'm going to get a lot of crap for this comment but whatever..) All jockeys want these days is money. They really don't give a shit about their horse.. Jockeys work their horses to the maximum level so they can win the race. Personally I think horse racing is abusive to the horses. If Ruffian wasn't pushed to the maximum level she wouldn't have broken her leg! Next time you have a horse race, think about your horses heath/care!! I love Ruffian and I understand why she had to be put down. A horse can't race with a broken leg.. (Think about my comment.....)

Umm you do know it's not the jockey's fault things like this happen? And the reason this happened to Ruffian was that soft bones ran through her family and she hit her shoulder on the starting gate which was when it all happened. And they don't put the horses down because they can't race anymore. They put them down because a horse cant live with a broken leg. Do you think that the owners of Barbaro tried to save him only because they hoped he would race again? No, of course not. And i know what I'm talking about. My own father was a jockey

She finally broke down after unduring all of those stupid races. What do you expect would happen to a horse her age pushed to the limit? Prior to this she competed in 10+ races and won 10 consecutive races. If her owners really cared about her well being they wouldnt have forced her to race to the breaking point. It was inevitable, had she won, her next race would have killed her etc... It wouldnt have stopped, the only thing that could stopped her from racing was irreversible injury or death.

Disgusting, unfair, and cruel. The while industry should be investigated and abolished. RIP baby Ruffian Princess of the Track!!!
