Ruffian, the coal black filly who won her first 10 races, was humane ly destroyed after a shattered right front ankle during The Great Match Race with Foolish Pleasure at Belmont Park. Despite heroic surgery and care, anesthesia complications and swelling led to euthanasia. Owner Stuart Janney Jr trainer Frank Whiteley Jr and others mourned a horse many called possibly the greatest filly ever, a loss to racing and audiences who adored her.

Medicine No Match For Filly Ruffian at Belmont Park
Leading veterinarian Dr. Larry Kramer says advances in equine medicine give horses a workup option before deciding on euthanasia. Ruffian, a 3-year-old filly, fractured her right front ankle during a match race with Foolish Pleasure at Belmont Park and was destroyed after anesthesia complications. Despite the tragedy, bone plating, metal implants, fiberglass casts, and safer anesthesia like halothane have improved care for other horses.
