Ruffian is Euthanized After Great Match Race Crash
Ruffian, unbeaten filly of New York racing, was humane ly destroyed after a shattered right ankle ended her bid in The Great Match Race against Foolish Pleasure at Belmont Park. Jockey Jacinto Vasquez pulled her up early in the race as she led by a half length. Foolish Pleasure won the $225,000 prize. Surgeons operated for nearly four hours but could not save her. The crowd of 50,764 watched in stunned silence as Ruffian’s leg injuries were described as a compound fracture of both sesamoids in the right front.
