Here's the Filly's Extraordinary True Story on DVD
Undefeated in her first 10 races, Ruffian is fast on her way to becoming one
of the most successful Thoroughbreds in horse racing history.
Yet as the two-year-old's reputation continues to grow, so does the pressure
to enter her in a one-on-one match race against 1975 Kentucky Derby-winning colt
Foolish Pleasure. Despite the growing concerns of her trainer, Frank Whiteley,
Ruffian takes off on what will be the most momentous race of her life, a
neck-and-neck "battle of the sexes," that only the best horse can win.
Bonus features on this DVD include:
- An on-the-set documentary
- A SportsCentury Interview with Bill Nack
- Nine amazing races
- A SportsCentury Flashback on Ruffian
- A tribute to Ruffian and Barbaro
- Audio commentary by Director Yves Simoneau and Editor Michael Ornstein
Starring Academy Award nominee Sam Shepard as Whiteley and Frank Whaley as
legendary sports writer Bill Nack, Ruffian is the extraordinary true
story of the greatest filly racehorse of all time. |
