Thats whats heart breaking, she had never had another horse in front of her so when Foolish Pleasure did get a nose infront, she ran her heart out. It isnt about if you did win, its about whether you think you won. In my world. She won by miles
I know this might confuse many ones who read this; but R.I.P. to the great racehorse Go For Wand. Go For Wand was a good filly which leg shattered near the place where Ruffian was buried.
WHY OH WHY HER????? I guess it is Gods way of asking for another angel :} i still miss you 36 years later i still miss you :} on this up coming july 5th i will watch all the videos of your greatness. I wish i could have been alivve to see you :} i mean i never saw you and i still miss you! Ruffian R.I.P and in my heart you are the winner i LOVE watching your brave last strides before IT happened you were an amazing filly and you went out with a bang that still rings today. Thank you Ruffian.

Race never should've been run not even a stake race,just some made for TV (CBS) battle of the sexes event trying to capitalize on the hype of the tennis match 2yrs earlier between Bobby Riggs vs Billie Jean king.
Just imagine the pain...

She was an AMAZING filly!! This race, although, is one of the saddest I've ever seen D':

If she hadn't broke down she would have won. She was already a half length in front. No way she was letting foolish pleasure past her
I saw the video for Go For Wand when someone else mentioned her. I don't EVER want to see that clip again. :(
i love ruffian

There is no doubt in my mind that Ruffian would of won that race.
This is 1 of the saddest races I have seen. I wish it didn't have to end like this and she would've won if it didn't.
Ruffian still won
