There are two Ruffian books. One by Jane Schwartz "Ruffian, Burning from the Start" that is a fantastic book I'd give 4+ stars. The folks who wanted to do a movie about her were unable to reach a deal, so William Nack was hired to write a Ruffian book that I didn't read. Nack wrote the definitive Secretariat bio (fantastic), but I heard the Ruffian book wasn't nearly as good.
