Description:
(Sports / Doc) Based on the story of the great filly who was undefeated until suffering a fatal breakdown in a match race against Foolish Pleasure at Belmont Park in 1975 . Only lasting two short seasons on the track, Ruffian was unbeaten through her first ten starts – shattering records at nearly every race.It was the much anticipated 11th race, on July 7, 1975 in front of a packed house at Belmont and a television audience of 18 million viewers, that proved to be her last.Hailed as the battle of the sexes, Ruffian went head-to-head with Kentucky Derby winning colt Foolish Pride, in what became the last match race in professional horse racing.Just short of the one mile marker, Ruffian went down hard with a broken leg, ultimately leaving doctors with no other option than to put the horse to sleep.The next day, she was buried at Belmont and to this day remains the only horse granted that honor.

Rating: - Ruffian
I love horse and I was hoping someone would tell the story to a wonderful horse with a great heart.Every story doesn't have a happy ending!
Rating:  - Burning from the Start!
This was a fantastic movie and deserves to be shelved beside the greatest of horse race movies (Seabiscuit, Phar Lap...). This is the story of Ruffian, a filly who won every race and was always out front. She broke every track record with blistering speed and beautiful style. Even the trainer of the great Secretariat said that he thought she was better than him. It's too bad that a match race was set for Ruffian to run against Foolish Pleasure, a colt who won the Kentucky Derby and got second in ... Read More
Rating: - Excellent movie............very accurate and compelling.
This video very closely folows Jane Schwartz's book, Ruffian, Burning from the Start. The characters are perfect for their roles, the story is very well-developed, and I thoroughly enjoyed this movie.Anyone who has read about this beautiful horse will be moved to tears at the end.After reading the book, the visual images enhanced my understanding of the horse, the trainer, and the untimely death of a magnificant animal.I would highly recommend it to anyone............as I would highly recommend ...

Rating: - Ruffian
This movie is a great horse movie.The first time I saw it, I cried a lot.I mean A LOT!It is a moving movie and a historical one too. A true story of an amazing horse.I don't necessarily approve of horse racing, I think it's kind of cruel. I don't cry when I watch it now, because I know what's coming. It's well worth watching for the historical value.
Rating: - A Worthy Portrayal of Racing's Greatest Filly
This movie is tremendous! Its very well done and the acting is awesome! I knew the story even before I saw the show, but It didn't make the traumatic and heart breaking final race of Ruffian any easier. I nearly cried , it was so sad. I think this film has done a worthy job of portraying the glorious career of the greatest filly racing had ever seen.
The music and amazing media effects add to the brilliance. This is a must see.
