Foolish Pleasure Killed Ruffian

  • cocoa2 · Nobody seems to recognize that the fragile bones of Reviewer (proved by her numerous injuries before TGMR) combined with the recent hairline fracture, bad bumping in the gate, and a rock hard track would wear her down. That she was expected to fly down this cement stretch for so many panels is ridiculous. If the birds played into it, I know not. · 202 days ago ·

It is hard to do full justice to a legend, and in thoroughbred horse racing there are not many legends as great as that of Ruffian...Read More

What a year you brought us joy and you brought us fear,what a career,we hold you dear! 1974-1975
Early in the summer I remember several of the Monmouth Park writers having a discussion about the quality of racing after The Haskell. Which hearkens the question: Is there life after The Haskell?Read More

the match race should be taken off both FP list and Ruffians, since it was declared a no victory! meaning no horse came 1st!!!!
foolish pleasrue was truly great, won the 1975 kentucky derby then placed 2nd in both the preakness and belmont, its sad how most people only remember him as the other horse in the great match of the century against ruffian.... that would have been a great "edge of your seat" race if ruffian didnt break down...... the race was declared a no victory, but that didnt upset foolish in any way!
  • Waya · Did you know he didn't even win the 3-year-old championship that year? It was Wajima, who was a monster in the summer/fall. You're right though, Foolish Pleasure was a hell of a horse! · 721 days ago ·

  • Arrrgy · I was so happy to see Tom Fool in the blood line. Buddy galloped her while she got over her ocolites (?) but when they went cold, it was back to her winning ways. I'll never forget telling my old boss, J. Bowes Bond, meeting his 8/5 Four Bells, Not today Bowsey. What beat her by 6 in the Mth slop! :) · 1155 days ago ·

Whenever it’s said, “It’s not about the money,” you can bet it’s about the money. Charles Cella, the man at the helm of Oaklawn Park since 1968, gave co-owner Jess Jackson and owner Jerry Moss five million reasons to have their champions, Rachel Alexandra and Zenyatta, respectively, point toward Apr...Read More
