Match Race Ends In Tragic Fate Of Ruffian
Ruffian, the champion filly, was humanely destroyed after a shattered right ankle suffered early in The Great Match Race with Foolish Pleasure at Belmont Park.

Foolish Pleasure won the $225,000 first prize as Ruffian could not be saved, leaving owners, trainer, and fans in mourning.
