Ruffian ran track records the first two times she hit the track, never trailed at any point of any race, and averaged winning by 9 lengths. I don't care who she did it against, that is greatness. It's just my opinion, but I think she could have outrun all but a handful of horses that ever lived- male or female- at 5 to 8 furlongs.
