Remembering Ruffian Part 2: The Match Race

Part 2: The Match Race and its aftermath This is the second part of my over 20 minutes long video about the legendary filly Ruffian. This part tells the story of the Match Race with colt Foolish Pleasure on July 6th, 1975 at Belmont Park, Ruffians breakdown in that race and its aftermath. Notes for this part: There is a lot of footage of varying quality edited together in the pre-Match race sequence. I realise this can be a little awkward to watch, but I wanted to include as much original footage as possible. I have not (as before in my other Ruffian videos) added footage of Ruffians breakdown. I have seen it several times and that was quite enough. I do use the audio from the race caller and show photos of the filly which could be disturbing, as in some of these the pain and panic of the filly are obvious. However sad or distressing this may be to some people, these images are a part of Ruffians life and without them the story isnt complete.
