Sarra B. (sarradee) reviewed on 1/7/2006 + 47 more book reviews

I cried when Ruffian had to be put down. She had such a promising future, and her owner/trainer threw it all away for a match race. I'm not quite old enough to have seen Ruffian race, but my mom bought me a book about her when I was a horse crazy kid. It was more of a picture book, so it didn't have all of the backstory that this one goes into. Ruffian was an amazing horse, as are all the great racers, Man o' War, Secretariat, Seabiscuit, et al. I don't watch the racing, I just like to read about the horses. Recommend.
