Yes, it created a big to do, and TV, but we haven't had a match race since, I remenber Foolish Pleasure running on home and Ruffian"s leg broken in 3 places just dangling while she stood there in 3 turn. That's why we'll never see another match race in our lifetime. To risky for the Flak if something bad happens
