Ruffian was honestly my first personal racetrack memory. I started to go to Saratoga every day the last week of 1974 and I had read about Ruffian and watched her from the rail at the finish line in that Spinaway.
Foolish Pleasure won the Hopeful the next day....I only knew that when I was watching the Triple Crown preps.
Here's a trivia question.....name the horse Chic Anderson mistakenly called winning the Derby late in the race as Foolish Pleasure was cruising to victory.
