description: Thoroughbred racing has yet to see another filly like Ruffian. This brilliant dark bay filly had it all: blazing speed, courage, charisma, and a tragic end. In short, everything of which legends are made. She won the 1974 Eclipse Award for Champion Two Year Old Filly, the 1975 American Filly Triple Crown and the 1975 Eclipse Award for Champion Three Year Old Filly.
