Does anyone remember that match race in the 70's between the filly Ruffian and Forward Pass? If I recall correctly, she was beating him and then shattered her leg. I still feel like I'm going to cry every time I think of that race.

[I still care]

It was Foolish Pleasure she ran against. We lived near Belmont track and my father went to see the race. He said it was the most horrible thing he ever saw, she was right in his line of sight when she broke her leg.

He came home very upset. He used to go to Belmont all the time, and he never went again after that.
