I was surfing and saw the name of Reviewer, who was the sire of Ruffian. I hadn't thought about Reviewer for years -- I believe he broke a bone while turned out, and had to be destroyed not terribly long after Ruffian died. Many years ago, natch. The match race with Foolish Pleasure that was Ruffian's end is so vivid in my mind -- what an awful day that was. Match races are never good ideas -- gallant fast horses destroy themselves. Ugh. The match race was a gender thing -- colt vs filly -- and they played "Anything You Can Do I Can Do Better" on the tv -- I still can't bear to hear that song. She was an amazing filly. Bred to have a breakdown, though.
