Book Reviews of Ruffian (Thoroughbred Legends, Number 13)
Book Review: A Great Filly
Summary: 5 Stars
I have read three books written about the phenominal filly, Ruffian. Her story has recently been put on film as well. This "Legends" version I found to be full of interesting general horse racing information as well as very accurate specific information about Ruffian. Originally, I had planned to have only one book on each horse in my library but as a well know blood horse agent told me, "it is good to read a variety of books on the same topic if you can". I find they all work well together and make for a more complete picture of each horse. This book is part of a series and I have read them all. Without exception, every book in the "Legends" series is well worth owning.
Summary of Ruffian (Thoroughbred Legends, Number 13)
Ruffian's tragic story still has a powerful hold over horse racing enthusiasts. The big, almost-black filly so dominated her peers that none could get near her on the racetrack. Then came the fateful match against Kentucky Derby winner Foolish Pleasure--the race in which she lost her life.
