Ruffian is and always will be a champion. While her body no longer graces onlookers racing, her memory lives on. All that is left of her are photographs and a few biographies. Every horse in comparison to her, is nothing. Secretariat on Belmont Day was amazing, brilliant. But if Ruffian had been there, he'd have left that track with a broken heart. She's gorgeous, amazing, no word completely describes her awestruck beauty. Her place was the racetrack, and that is where she'll always be remembered as the hellcat she was. My hero.
