"As God is my witness, she may be better than Secretariat." (Lucien Lauren, trainer of the legendary Secretariat)
This says it all. Ruffian was the greatest filly ever to set foot on the tracks. Bar none. She ran a certain distance faster than any colt or filly, 5.5 furlongs, I believe it was. To deny that Ruffian is up there with the greatest ones just because she never raced against the boys and "proved" herself is chauvinistic garbage!
