My favorite champion racehorse is Ruffian. She was an undefeated 2 year old filly and in her 3 year old year she was put into a match race with Foolish Pleasure and snapped her front right cannon bone and had to be put down. But her spirit has always inspired me. I love her so much even though I never met her.

I think I read somewhere that there's going to be a TV movie about Ruffian.

Aw, that's sad. D:

I knew a couple of race horses. :3 G.W. (Guided Way) is a FANTASTIC stallion but he never got to race because of his back leg and split weewee. His owners way back then had the money to pay for him to get his leg and weewee fixed. Now he lives as a stud, breeding. I know another TB that would be PERFECT for racing, Sax. She is a sweetheart that won't let ANYONE in front of her when riders are on her. X3
I also ride an Ex racer named Bobbin. He is an ex racer because he is as slow as a tractor on 2nd gear. XD

Oh man, I saw the tv Ruffian movie. It was really sad. I read the book Ruffian too and I was almost in tears. Ruffian's my favorite famous racehorse.

I know a lot of racehorses because my friend works at Philadelphia Park. Her horse is an ex-racer who broke his leg, he's also related to Secretariat.
Her mom just bought a racehorse named Boulevard.
Both got their horses with broken legs.

My favorite racehorse is Bull For Rush. He loves cuddles. whee

We call him Bully or "Ugly Pony" (affectionately, of course.)

He was called Ugly Pony because he had a nasty skin infection that left him with patchy fur and a bunch of scars that grew in white. I say he thinks he's an Appy. xd You can see one of the white spots above the bag of treats I'm holding in the first picture.

He's really fast. And he's small for a TB. He was moved up to Boston, so I probably won't see him for a while.
My friend's interested in buying him, though, because she just retired her horse. If we bought him, his new name would be Dave.

I'm not telling u not to but I heardits bad luck to rename a horse. But that's silly superstition so don't mind me LOL! I did watch one of the triple crown races this year though. The one that the filly one. I think her name was Rags to Riches. Pretty fitting I think!
