1
00:01:51,842 --> 00:01:53,810
Hey, Mike, let's get
his teeth checked.
2
00:01:53,811 --> 00:01:55,746
He's dropping
too much grain here.
3
00:01:55,747 --> 00:01:57,814
Sure thing,
Mr. Whiteley.
4
00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:04,020
Dan.
5
00:02:04,021 --> 00:02:06,590
Morning, Mr. Whiteley.
Big day today.
6
00:02:06,591 --> 00:02:08,525
What's today?
7
00:02:08,526 --> 00:02:10,527
Yearlings coming down
from Claiborne.
8
00:02:10,528 --> 00:02:13,029
Oh. Ha.
Is that today?
9
00:02:13,030 --> 00:02:15,532
You got your eye
on something special?
10
00:02:15,533 --> 00:02:19,235
Got my eye on you. Now quit
talking and get these horses fed.
11
00:02:25,193 --> 00:02:28,028
Horse racing
is a lot of things...
12
00:02:28,029 --> 00:02:31,999
a sport, a business,
a spectacle.
13
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:34,835
The track's a place
for hopeful beginning,
14
00:02:34,836 --> 00:02:37,538
triumph, sometimes heartbreak,
15
00:02:37,539 --> 00:02:41,975
and always at the center
of it all are the horses.
16
00:02:49,734 --> 00:02:53,003
Chico, Jim, sort these
bay horses out, would you?
17
00:02:53,004 --> 00:02:55,155
Sure thing,
Mr. Whiteley.
18
00:03:00,428 --> 00:03:03,580
Damn, that's some big baby.
19
00:03:03,581 --> 00:03:07,484
It's the Reviewer filly
out of Shenanigans.
20
00:03:07,485 --> 00:03:09,419
Now, she's a queen.
21
00:03:09,420 --> 00:03:13,157
Well, don't forget, Man O' War's
half-brother pulled a milk cart.
22
00:03:13,158 --> 00:03:16,009
Bet she got a lot of muscle
under that baby fat.
23
00:03:17,445 --> 00:03:20,380
It ain't muscle yet.
24
00:03:28,789 --> 00:03:30,591
She's got some class.
25
00:03:30,592 --> 00:03:33,327
You never know till they run.
26
00:03:38,015 --> 00:03:40,150
Ruffian.
27
00:03:40,151 --> 00:03:43,020
She was built like a watch,
28
00:03:43,021 --> 00:03:45,522
a study in balance.
29
00:03:45,523 --> 00:03:49,526
A big, tall,
full-bodied filly
30
00:03:49,527 --> 00:03:53,030
with a neck and head
so refined,
31
00:03:53,031 --> 00:03:56,099
like a drawing by da Vinci.
32
00:04:04,942 --> 00:04:09,513
Five months later, Frank Whiteley
took his filly north to Belmont.
33
00:04:09,514 --> 00:04:12,015
All right. Give me 3/8.
Keep her under wraps.
34
00:04:12,016 --> 00:04:14,518
I want a slow 3/8, all right? All right.
35
00:04:14,519 --> 00:04:16,520
Don't push her.
OK.
36
00:04:16,521 --> 00:04:19,389
It was a new world
for the young horse.
37
00:04:19,390 --> 00:04:21,391
New sounds, new sights,
38
00:04:21,392 --> 00:04:26,029
especially that great
mile-and-a-half oval of a track.
39
00:04:59,898 --> 00:05:03,333
You pinhead.
40
00:05:05,436 --> 00:05:07,838
He's not gonna be happy.
41
00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:09,139
Man.
42
00:05:13,528 --> 00:05:16,729
How fast do you think
you were going, Jacinto?
43
00:05:16,730 --> 00:05:19,399
37. 37. How about 34 and change?
44
00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:21,819
You call that slow?
I told you to go slow.
45
00:05:21,820 --> 00:05:25,088
There's no way. I would have felt
- 34 and change!
46
00:05:25,089 --> 00:05:26,957
You better fix that clock,
'cause there's no way.
47
00:05:26,958 --> 00:05:28,792
I'm gonna fix your clock!
48
00:05:31,095 --> 00:05:33,080
What'd you say?
I heard that.
49
00:05:33,081 --> 00:05:35,214
She's some kind of racehorse.
50
00:05:35,215 --> 00:05:37,384
She ain't raced nobody yet.
51
00:05:37,385 --> 00:05:39,470
Race or not, I love that horse.
52
00:05:39,471 --> 00:05:41,821
You never fall in love
with one.
53
00:05:41,822 --> 00:05:43,857
Gas prices may be falling as...
54
00:05:43,858 --> 00:05:46,310
OK, give me a year.
55
00:05:46,311 --> 00:05:48,278
Not again.
56
00:05:48,279 --> 00:05:50,447
Come on, come on.
Give me the year,
57
00:05:50,448 --> 00:05:53,317
and I'll give you the winner. Let's go. 1876.
58
00:05:53,318 --> 00:05:55,552
1800 and 76, hmm?
Taking me back.
59
00:05:55,553 --> 00:05:57,988
Let's see. Would that
be... Vagrant?
60
00:05:57,989 --> 00:05:59,723
Wait. What is
this game?
61
00:05:59,724 --> 00:06:01,725
No, don't
encourage him, please.
62
00:06:01,726 --> 00:06:04,060
Give me the year, any year,
from the beginning of time,
63
00:06:04,061 --> 00:06:06,446
and I will tell you
who won the Kentucky Derby.
64
00:06:06,447 --> 00:06:07,880
1955.
65
00:06:07,881 --> 00:06:10,217
That was the year my boyhood
hero Swaps won the race.
66
00:06:10,218 --> 00:06:12,753
Would you mind not cluttering
my bar with your stuff?
67
00:06:12,754 --> 00:06:15,255
Uh, this stuff, to which
you so delicately refer,
68
00:06:15,256 --> 00:06:17,257
happens to be my book, sir,
69
00:06:17,258 --> 00:06:20,260
and it is dedicated to the greatest
horse ever to set four hooves
70
00:06:20,261 --> 00:06:22,045
on a racetrack -
Secretariat.
71
00:06:22,046 --> 00:06:23,930
Well, I got a race to cover.
72
00:06:23,931 --> 00:06:25,916
You don't seem
so excited about that.
73
00:06:25,917 --> 00:06:30,119
I've seen the greatest, OK?
Wrote a book about him.
74
00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:31,271
So we've heard.
75
00:06:31,272 --> 00:06:33,056
What do I owe you?
76
00:06:33,057 --> 00:06:34,808
Five bucks.
77
00:06:37,545 --> 00:06:41,631
I don't suppose you'd accept
a book as payment?
78
00:06:45,286 --> 00:06:47,654
It was the start
of another racing season,
79
00:06:47,655 --> 00:06:50,624
a time of high expectations.
80
00:06:50,625 --> 00:06:52,543
I would swing past
Frank Whiteley's barn
81
00:06:52,544 --> 00:06:54,978
because he always had a
live wire or two in his shed.
82
00:06:58,466 --> 00:07:00,984
She's doing good.
83
00:07:00,985 --> 00:07:03,003
Hey, Puerto Rican.
84
00:07:03,004 --> 00:07:04,972
Yes, sir?
85
00:07:04,973 --> 00:07:08,241
You got your boots on tight? Yes, sir.
86
00:07:08,242 --> 00:07:11,028
Hey, Squeaky. Hey. It's that famous reporter.
87
00:07:11,029 --> 00:07:13,096
Oh, it must be Tuesday.
88
00:07:13,097 --> 00:07:15,465
How's the old man?
Good mood or bad mood today?
89
00:07:16,935 --> 00:07:19,686
Now, look, all she's gonna
want to do is flat-out run.
90
00:07:19,687 --> 00:07:21,571
Mm-hmm.
So let her have the lead
91
00:07:21,572 --> 00:07:23,907
and take a snug hold
on her and no stick.
92
00:07:23,908 --> 00:07:26,460
Snug hold.
All right, Mr. Whiteley.
93
00:07:26,461 --> 00:07:29,546
Jacinto.
�Qu� pasa?
94
00:07:31,549 --> 00:07:34,484
Ha-ha. Morning, Frank.
95
00:07:34,485 --> 00:07:36,503
It's "Mr. Whiteley,"
96
00:07:36,504 --> 00:07:39,172
and the Puerto Rican
understands English.
97
00:07:39,173 --> 00:07:41,091
Ha.
98
00:07:41,092 --> 00:07:43,076
That's commendable,
seeing as how
99
00:07:43,077 --> 00:07:45,512
this particular Puerto Rican hails from Panama.
100
00:07:45,513 --> 00:07:49,215
Bill, I told him a million times,
but you think he believes it?
101
00:07:49,216 --> 00:07:52,235
Panama's a ditch, isn't it?
102
00:07:52,236 --> 00:07:55,204
What do you got
for me today, Frank?
103
00:07:55,205 --> 00:07:57,607
Goose eggs.
104
00:07:57,608 --> 00:07:59,509
I was over at barn 10.
105
00:07:59,510 --> 00:08:03,363
Guys over there like a filly in the
third hole by the name of Suzest.
106
00:08:03,364 --> 00:08:04,865
Is that right?
107
00:08:04,866 --> 00:08:07,317
Well, maybe you ought
to hang around barn 10,
108
00:08:07,318 --> 00:08:09,703
'cause all we've got here is a
bunch of cheap crows, right, boys?
109
00:08:09,704 --> 00:08:11,671
Right.
Yes, sir.
110
00:08:11,672 --> 00:08:13,490
Jacinto?
111
00:08:13,491 --> 00:08:15,641
Yeah, just a bunch
of cheap crows.
112
00:08:22,683 --> 00:08:24,951
Well, thanks
for all the information.
113
00:08:26,787 --> 00:08:28,855
Good luck to you.
114
00:08:35,195 --> 00:08:37,947
Good afternoon,
ladies and gentlemen,
115
00:08:37,948 --> 00:08:40,183
and welcome to Belmont Park.
116
00:08:40,184 --> 00:08:43,252
The track is fast.
The turf course is firm.
117
00:09:27,982 --> 00:09:30,683
All right.
118
00:09:32,570 --> 00:09:35,572
Weak crowd, isn't it?
Mm-hmm.
119
00:09:39,077 --> 00:09:41,078
Don't fall off.
120
00:09:42,547 --> 00:09:44,548
24 and change
at the quarter pole...
121
00:09:44,549 --> 00:09:47,384
Mets are getting bigger crowds
for batting practice.
122
00:09:47,385 --> 00:09:49,886
Well, it's hard for a real racetrack to compete
123
00:09:49,887 --> 00:09:52,889
with the beauty of your
off-track betting parlor, huh?
124
00:09:52,890 --> 00:09:54,558
So, who do you like?
125
00:09:54,559 --> 00:09:56,226
Suzest.
She's a cinch.
126
00:09:56,227 --> 00:09:59,062
Suzest, huh?
Sure about that?
127
00:09:59,063 --> 00:10:02,632
Holy crap.
Who the hell is she?
128
00:10:07,972 --> 00:10:10,907
That is one of Frank's
cheap crows.
129
00:10:10,908 --> 00:10:13,827
Well, where's he
been hiding her?
130
00:10:18,349 --> 00:10:21,851
The Old Fox of Laurel
strikes again.
131
00:10:21,852 --> 00:10:25,422
That, my friend, is...
132
00:10:26,857 --> 00:10:28,358
...Ruffian.
133
00:10:28,359 --> 00:10:32,929
Ruffian.
134
00:10:39,520 --> 00:10:42,022
Sir. Ma'am.
135
00:10:42,023 --> 00:10:44,457
She doesn't seem bothered
by the crowd.
136
00:10:44,458 --> 00:10:46,459
Well, so far so good.
137
00:10:46,460 --> 00:10:48,528
You tell Jacinto anything?
138
00:10:48,529 --> 00:10:51,031
"Don't fall off."
139
00:10:52,483 --> 00:10:55,702
What do you think?
140
00:10:55,703 --> 00:10:59,406
Well, I think we're about to find out
whether she's more than just a morning glory.
141
00:10:59,407 --> 00:11:01,807
The horses have reached
the starting gate.
142
00:11:01,808 --> 00:11:05,028
The fillies are at the post, 10
of them ready to go 51/2 furlongs
143
00:11:05,029 --> 00:11:07,530
here on the main track
at Belmont Park,
144
00:11:07,531 --> 00:11:09,132
all of them maidens.
145
00:11:09,133 --> 00:11:11,501
None of them
have won a race so far.
146
00:11:11,502 --> 00:11:14,854
Let's see who emerges
as a winner this afternoon.
147
00:11:17,191 --> 00:11:19,675
They're all in line,
and the flag is up.
148
00:11:26,350 --> 00:11:28,468
And they're off.
149
00:11:31,254 --> 00:11:33,323
Come on, Ruffian.
150
00:11:33,324 --> 00:11:36,409
On the extreme outside,
there goes Ruffian,
151
00:11:36,410 --> 00:11:39,395
charging up to take command
early and quickly.
152
00:11:49,957 --> 00:11:52,358
Ruffian scoots
to the inside rail,
153
00:11:52,359 --> 00:11:55,312
showing some quick early speed.
154
00:11:55,313 --> 00:11:57,314
Come on, Ruffian! As they
move around the far turn...
155
00:11:57,315 --> 00:12:01,968
Ruffian has moved to the rail
and is in front by 8 lengths...
156
00:12:01,969 --> 00:12:04,136
Did you see that?
157
00:12:04,137 --> 00:12:07,173
Oh, isn't that amazing?
Ohh.
158
00:12:16,484 --> 00:12:18,968
It's Ruffian,
drawing clear now by 10.
159
00:12:18,969 --> 00:12:20,654
She's drawing away!
160
00:12:20,655 --> 00:12:22,122
Come on!
161
00:12:22,123 --> 00:12:23,957
...Suzest in second,
but not closing in.
162
00:12:23,958 --> 00:12:27,994
Garden Quad races third
as they turn for home.
163
00:12:27,995 --> 00:12:29,796
Uh, we have to
double-check it.
164
00:12:29,797 --> 00:12:32,632
And down the stretch they come!
165
00:12:32,633 --> 00:12:35,985
And it's Ruffian,
and she's all alone!
166
00:12:48,516 --> 00:12:51,284
It's Ruffian in front
by 12, by 15 lengths.
167
00:12:51,285 --> 00:12:52,402
She did it!
168
00:12:52,403 --> 00:12:53,452
Ha-ha-ha-ha!
169
00:12:55,156 --> 00:12:56,872
The winner by 15 lengths
170
00:12:56,873 --> 00:12:59,359
with the time of 1:03.
171
00:12:59,360 --> 00:13:01,778
Well, looks like
we might have a good one.
172
00:13:01,779 --> 00:13:03,663
That equals the track record
173
00:13:03,664 --> 00:13:05,598
for Belmont Park's
51/2 furlongs
174
00:13:05,599 --> 00:13:07,099
by a filly or a colt!
175
00:13:07,100 --> 00:13:08,668
What a performance!
176
00:13:08,669 --> 00:13:11,437
First-time starter Ruffian
to the winner's circle.
177
00:13:13,057 --> 00:13:16,492
Congratulations, Frank. Never even broke a sweat.
178
00:13:16,493 --> 00:13:18,161
How 'bout our girl?
Oh!
179
00:13:18,162 --> 00:13:20,513
Good job, Jacinto.
Thank you.
180
00:13:20,514 --> 00:13:23,350
Looks like you've got yourself
a racehorse, Aunt Barbara.
181
00:13:23,351 --> 00:13:24,784
Well, that's my girl.
182
00:13:24,785 --> 00:13:27,187
Good work, Frank.
183
00:13:27,188 --> 00:13:29,955
That's the kind of performance
that'll bring people back to the track.
184
00:13:29,956 --> 00:13:32,475
Mrs. Janney, Mr. Chairman?
This way, please.
185
00:13:33,944 --> 00:13:35,377
Thank you.
186
00:13:40,283 --> 00:13:42,986
Hey, Puerto Rican!
187
00:13:42,987 --> 00:13:46,239
I tried to hold her back. Don't lie to me.
188
00:13:46,240 --> 00:13:48,842
We won by 15 lengths.
That's a track record.
189
00:13:48,843 --> 00:13:51,728
I told you, no stick. I don't
care about track records.
190
00:13:51,729 --> 00:13:54,130
I want the win, and I want her
sound to come back and win again.
191
00:13:54,131 --> 00:13:56,333
Now, if you pull that
again on me,
192
00:13:56,334 --> 00:13:58,385
I'm gonna have to find
another rider, you understand?
193
00:13:58,386 --> 00:14:00,219
I hear you.
Dios m�o...
194
00:14:00,220 --> 00:14:02,756
What'd you say?
A prayer!
195
00:14:02,757 --> 00:14:06,025
You're gonna need it.
What do you say, Frank?
196
00:14:06,026 --> 00:14:09,028
Got any other cheap crows
like that one out in the barn?
197
00:14:09,029 --> 00:14:11,931
I sure hope not.
198
00:14:11,932 --> 00:14:14,183
Scare the hell
out of me if I did.
199
00:14:16,370 --> 00:14:21,541
I appreciate all you boys
coming out here today.
200
00:14:21,542 --> 00:14:23,727
In case you're wondering,
there's two reasons
201
00:14:23,728 --> 00:14:25,545
that my filly here
is called Hot N Nasty.
202
00:14:25,546 --> 00:14:27,881
The first one is,
is she is hot.
203
00:14:29,249 --> 00:14:31,584
She smoked the favorite in
her last race by 21/2 lengths,
204
00:14:31,585 --> 00:14:34,537
and she is downright nasty.
205
00:14:34,538 --> 00:14:37,991
My filly's got a perfect record
- 3 and zip.
206
00:14:37,992 --> 00:14:41,411
So does Ruffian. Ruffian's a
decent horse, I'll give you that.
207
00:14:41,412 --> 00:14:44,647
But, uh, Hot N Nasty come here
to win the Sorority Stakes.
208
00:14:44,648 --> 00:14:47,434
Were you happy with her workout this morning?
209
00:14:47,435 --> 00:14:50,804
If she was doing any better, I couldn't
stand it, and the law wouldn't allow it.
210
00:14:50,805 --> 00:14:52,655
I'd have to slap my grandma.
211
00:14:52,656 --> 00:14:54,590
You're pretty confident.
212
00:14:54,591 --> 00:14:56,092
Hey, you bet I am.
213
00:14:56,093 --> 00:14:57,994
In fact, I'll show you
how confident I am.
214
00:14:57,995 --> 00:14:59,863
Hey, Roscoe and Jack,
bring that over here.
215
00:14:59,864 --> 00:15:01,280
Hey, wow. All right.
216
00:15:01,281 --> 00:15:03,149
I'm gonna invite
all y'all back here
217
00:15:03,150 --> 00:15:05,368
after the race
for a victory toast.
218
00:15:05,369 --> 00:15:07,670
I went out and bought up all
this high-dollar bubbly here
219
00:15:07,671 --> 00:15:09,906
'cause I know how you
newshounds like to souse it up.
220
00:15:11,224 --> 00:15:14,044
Come on back after the race.
We'll do it up right.
221
00:15:14,045 --> 00:15:16,162
All right.
222
00:15:22,753 --> 00:15:24,470
Down the backstretch,
it's Ruffian in front...
223
00:15:24,471 --> 00:15:27,223
Come on. Do it for Daddy.
Come on.
224
00:15:29,143 --> 00:15:31,878
As they move into the far turn,
225
00:15:31,879 --> 00:15:33,596
it's Ruffian
on the inside by a head,
226
00:15:33,597 --> 00:15:35,247
Hot N Nasty is second.
227
00:15:39,770 --> 00:15:42,021
Head and head,
stride for stride!
228
00:15:42,022 --> 00:15:44,774
It's a two-horse race
as the field turns for home.
229
00:15:44,775 --> 00:15:47,660
Come on, hang in there!
230
00:15:47,661 --> 00:15:49,428
It's Ruffian and Hot N Nasty!
231
00:15:49,429 --> 00:15:52,214
They're head and head
inside the eighth pole!
232
00:15:52,215 --> 00:15:55,368
Ruffian on the inside. Hot N Nasty's
on the outside and trying to get by her.
233
00:15:55,369 --> 00:15:56,703
Show her what you got!
234
00:15:56,704 --> 00:15:59,054
Ruffian, Hot N Nasty.
235
00:16:06,197 --> 00:16:08,147
Ruffian opens up a length.
236
00:16:08,148 --> 00:16:09,498
Come on!
Hang in there!
237
00:16:10,784 --> 00:16:12,935
Come on, baby!
Come on!
238
00:16:18,041 --> 00:16:19,909
It's Ruffian!
239
00:16:21,896 --> 00:16:23,696
Hey!
Oh, man!
240
00:16:23,697 --> 00:16:25,281
...record in the Sorority...
241
00:16:25,282 --> 00:16:27,116
1:09 flat!
242
00:16:27,117 --> 00:16:28,718
Ruffian!
243
00:16:28,719 --> 00:16:30,620
Ha-ha-ha-ha!
244
00:16:30,621 --> 00:16:32,622
She had a tough time out there.
245
00:16:32,623 --> 00:16:34,123
Oh, give me a break, Nack.
246
00:16:34,124 --> 00:16:36,626
I mean, the filly just set a new stakes record.
247
00:16:36,627 --> 00:16:38,628
She almost got beat.
248
00:16:38,629 --> 00:16:41,697
It was life or death
at the eighth pole.
249
00:16:57,431 --> 00:16:58,664
All right, walk her to me.
250
00:17:05,371 --> 00:17:07,190
Now away.
251
00:17:10,961 --> 00:17:13,446
Something's wrong with her.
252
00:17:13,447 --> 00:17:16,699
I'm worried because she didn't
run her race out there today.
253
00:17:16,700 --> 00:17:18,851
Never switch her leads, never.
254
00:17:23,456 --> 00:17:26,458
Yeah, she's popped
a little cold splint.
255
00:17:26,459 --> 00:17:28,044
She'll be fine.
256
00:17:28,045 --> 00:17:29,962
I'll give her some time off.
257
00:17:29,963 --> 00:17:32,398
By the time she gets to Saratoga, she'll be 100%.
258
00:17:32,399 --> 00:17:34,217
Mr. Whiteley?
259
00:17:34,218 --> 00:17:36,769
Mr. Lasater says we're the
ones that should have this.
260
00:17:36,770 --> 00:17:39,455
Well, you tell Mr. Lasater
thank you very much.
261
00:17:39,456 --> 00:17:41,040
We sure appreciate it.
262
00:17:48,448 --> 00:17:50,582
Aren't you gonna pop the cork?
263
00:17:50,583 --> 00:17:53,519
I ain't much of a drinker.
You help yourself.
264
00:17:53,520 --> 00:17:55,587
Come here.
265
00:17:55,588 --> 00:17:58,024
I'm not sure I deserve it.
266
00:17:58,025 --> 00:18:01,093
I had my doubts
about her mid-stretch.
267
00:18:01,094 --> 00:18:05,097
Well, you're in
the opinion business, not me.
268
00:18:07,034 --> 00:18:09,101
Hey.
Hey.
269
00:18:12,006 --> 00:18:13,673
She was a little off today.
270
00:18:13,674 --> 00:18:16,509
Heh. Is that right?
271
00:18:16,510 --> 00:18:18,811
Heck of a fast time.
272
00:18:21,164 --> 00:18:25,134
Ever spend any time
away from your horses?
273
00:18:25,135 --> 00:18:27,070
No need to.
274
00:18:27,071 --> 00:18:29,005
Good company.
275
00:18:29,006 --> 00:18:31,357
Well, believe it or not,
276
00:18:31,358 --> 00:18:33,359
I used to be a groom.
277
00:18:33,360 --> 00:18:36,128
Is that right?
278
00:18:36,129 --> 00:18:39,415
Growing up in Chicago, all the
other kids worshiped Ernie Banks.
279
00:18:39,416 --> 00:18:42,251
My hero was Swaps.
280
00:18:43,436 --> 00:18:46,105
Yeah, for a California horse,
he was all right.
281
00:18:48,125 --> 00:18:51,561
I'll never forget the day
he lost to Nashua.
282
00:18:51,562 --> 00:18:53,563
Oh. I was heartbroken.
283
00:18:53,564 --> 00:18:57,066
Swaps didn't lose to Nashua,
he lost to Arcaro.
284
00:18:57,067 --> 00:19:00,069
Shoemaker got outfoxed
that day.
285
00:19:00,070 --> 00:19:02,621
No damn match race
ever proved a thing.
286
00:19:02,622 --> 00:19:05,591
Hmm. That's what people
want to see, right?
287
00:19:05,592 --> 00:19:07,626
Two horses going at it,
one on one?
288
00:19:07,627 --> 00:19:10,580
The only way to win
is fly out of the gate,
289
00:19:10,581 --> 00:19:13,082
flat-out sprint
for a mile and a quarter.
290
00:19:13,083 --> 00:19:15,651
All speed, no pace.
291
00:19:19,807 --> 00:19:22,125
How do you get a horse
happy like that?
292
00:19:22,126 --> 00:19:25,561
Fuss with them,
rub on them a little.
293
00:19:25,562 --> 00:19:28,330
You gonna let her fuss
with the colts?
294
00:19:32,169 --> 00:19:34,103
She's a perfect 4-0.
295
00:19:34,104 --> 00:19:36,339
4 races, 4 records.
I mean...
296
00:19:36,340 --> 00:19:38,407
running with the fillies
doesn't seem like much
297
00:19:38,408 --> 00:19:40,759
of a challenge to her anymore.
298
00:19:40,760 --> 00:19:43,362
I'll tell you what.
I'll make you a little deal.
299
00:19:43,363 --> 00:19:45,348
You stick to
the writing part of it,
300
00:19:45,349 --> 00:19:48,284
and I'll do the horse training,
OK? Fair enough?
301
00:19:48,285 --> 00:19:50,553
Fair enough. Ha-ha-ha.
302
00:19:50,554 --> 00:19:53,740
Just one last thing, Frank.
303
00:19:53,741 --> 00:19:56,241
Is there a horse out there
that can run with her?
304
00:19:59,413 --> 00:20:01,414
As it turned out,
305
00:20:01,415 --> 00:20:03,916
there was another challenger
out there,
306
00:20:03,917 --> 00:20:06,719
another horse
with a perfect record.
307
00:20:06,720 --> 00:20:09,722
Not a filly, a colt.
308
00:20:09,723 --> 00:20:12,225
His name was Foolish Pleasure.
309
00:20:12,226 --> 00:20:14,727
He looked like
an outside linebacker...
310
00:20:14,728 --> 00:20:16,662
quick and athletic
311
00:20:16,663 --> 00:20:18,664
with muscles in his eyebrows.
312
00:20:18,665 --> 00:20:22,168
He was shaping up as the best
two-year-old colt in the country.
313
00:20:22,169 --> 00:20:24,103
Besides being undefeated,
314
00:20:24,104 --> 00:20:27,173
he had something else
in common with Ruffian...
315
00:20:27,174 --> 00:20:29,742
he had the same jockey.
316
00:20:34,081 --> 00:20:36,782
Frank felt it was too early
for Ruffian to take on the colt.
317
00:20:36,783 --> 00:20:38,117
His plan was to establish her
318
00:20:38,118 --> 00:20:40,169
as the best filly
in the country.
319
00:20:40,170 --> 00:20:42,672
A good place to do that
was Saratoga,
320
00:20:42,673 --> 00:20:44,624
a bright stage
where people came
321
00:20:44,625 --> 00:20:47,693
to spot future contenders
for the Triple Crown.
322
00:20:47,694 --> 00:20:50,580
Ruffian, at 4-0,
323
00:20:50,581 --> 00:20:53,699
was beginning to attract her own
fans, especially among the ladies.
324
00:20:53,700 --> 00:20:55,802
Hey, Puerto Rican.
325
00:20:55,803 --> 00:20:59,305
You know, if you weren't such a fool,
you'd be wearing our colors today.
326
00:20:59,306 --> 00:21:02,258
Yeah, but I appealed the
suspension for the rough riding...
327
00:21:02,259 --> 00:21:04,777
Save your breath, Puerto Rican. Hey, come on.
328
00:21:04,778 --> 00:21:06,495
Some jock boxes me in,
what am I...
329
00:21:06,496 --> 00:21:08,364
I don't need your damn excuses.
330
00:21:08,365 --> 00:21:11,834
This filly wants to have the same
rider on her back every time she goes.
331
00:21:11,835 --> 00:21:14,937
Now, if you can't ride safe
and stay out of trouble,
332
00:21:14,938 --> 00:21:18,607
you're not gonna get
on her back, you understand?
333
00:21:18,608 --> 00:21:19,675
All right.
334
00:21:21,111 --> 00:21:23,996
Hey, Vincente, three things...
335
00:21:23,997 --> 00:21:25,481
don't get her hurt,
336
00:21:25,482 --> 00:21:27,817
don't use the stick
and don't get her beat.
337
00:21:27,818 --> 00:21:29,485
Yes, sir.
338
00:21:31,255 --> 00:21:34,006
Huh.
339
00:21:35,808 --> 00:21:37,793
Hey, amigo.
340
00:21:37,794 --> 00:21:41,464
Don't you have a stall
to muck out, Baeza?
341
00:21:41,465 --> 00:21:44,183
Ha-ha. You should have
put me on your filly.
342
00:21:44,184 --> 00:21:47,403
I put you on Damascus six years
ago. It was the mistake of my life.
343
00:21:47,404 --> 00:21:49,639
That horse was sore.
Aw, bull.
344
00:21:49,640 --> 00:21:52,358
You stiffed him so your regular
mount could get Horse of the Year.
345
00:21:52,359 --> 00:21:55,027
Dr. Fager was a better horse,
and you know it.
346
00:21:55,028 --> 00:21:58,314
You held my horse, Baeza.
Get out of here.
347
00:21:58,315 --> 00:22:00,032
You don't scare me.
Her, neither.
348
00:22:00,033 --> 00:22:02,985
Today she gets beat.
349
00:22:02,986 --> 00:22:04,469
Adios.
350
00:22:12,362 --> 00:22:14,696
Well, nice day for a race.
351
00:22:14,697 --> 00:22:15,964
Yes.
352
00:22:40,607 --> 00:22:44,360
Well, they're at the gate for the
6-furlong Spinaway here at Saratoga,
353
00:22:44,361 --> 00:22:46,145
a field of four.
354
00:22:46,146 --> 00:22:49,148
The favorite, 1-5 Ruffian, looking
for her fifth straight victory,
355
00:22:49,149 --> 00:22:50,716
and she is undefeated.
356
00:22:50,717 --> 00:22:53,052
Vince Bracciale Jr.
rides this afternoon.
357
00:22:53,053 --> 00:22:57,089
Second choice is Laughing
Bridge, 3-1, with Braulio Baeza.
358
00:22:57,090 --> 00:22:59,742
You see?
People love her.
359
00:22:59,743 --> 00:23:02,094
Yeah, OK, OK.
Let's see how she runs.
360
00:23:02,095 --> 00:23:04,729
All in line,
ready for the start.
361
00:23:06,383 --> 00:23:09,886
And they're off
in the Spinaway.
362
00:23:09,887 --> 00:23:11,020
Good break, Vince.
363
00:23:11,021 --> 00:23:14,206
And Ruffian quickly
takes command,
364
00:23:14,207 --> 00:23:16,492
Scottish Melody
into the second spot,
365
00:23:16,493 --> 00:23:19,261
Laughing Bridge
is now racing third.
366
00:23:22,900 --> 00:23:25,451
They move to the top of the stretch...
Wait...
367
00:23:25,452 --> 00:23:28,954
...and it's Ruffian now in
command by 2, by 3 lengths.
368
00:23:28,955 --> 00:23:30,172
Go, girl, go!
369
00:23:30,173 --> 00:23:34,093
Come on! Go, go, go!
Not yet, Vince.
370
00:23:34,094 --> 00:23:37,546
They move past the half-mile
pole, heading to the far turn.
371
00:23:38,832 --> 00:23:39,998
Go! Go! Whoo!
372
00:23:39,999 --> 00:23:41,250
Now!
373
00:23:43,770 --> 00:23:47,639
A quick burst of speed as Ruffian
draws away to lead by 8 lengths.
374
00:23:49,408 --> 00:23:51,393
A magnificent performance!
375
00:23:53,163 --> 00:23:54,429
Go! Yeah!
376
00:24:05,625 --> 00:24:07,827
Go! Ha-ha-ha!
377
00:24:07,828 --> 00:24:09,195
Look at that!
378
00:24:09,196 --> 00:24:10,880
It's over!
379
00:24:10,881 --> 00:24:12,164
Ruffian, under the wire
to win it
380
00:24:12,165 --> 00:24:15,034
by... by 13 lengths!
381
00:24:15,035 --> 00:24:18,204
The time - 1:083/5...
382
00:24:18,205 --> 00:24:21,040
a new stakes record
for the Spinaway!
383
00:24:22,975 --> 00:24:24,727
Ha-ha-ha-ha!
384
00:24:24,728 --> 00:24:26,429
Do you see that?
385
00:24:26,430 --> 00:24:29,131
That's another track record.
What you got to say now, huh?
386
00:24:29,132 --> 00:24:31,017
I'm speechless.
387
00:24:31,018 --> 00:24:33,486
Of course you are! He didn't even step on the gas.
388
00:24:33,487 --> 00:24:36,856
Nobody even knows how much
that filly can run.
389
00:24:53,874 --> 00:24:57,710
Faster than any two-year-old has
ever run 6 furlongs on this track,
390
00:24:57,711 --> 00:25:00,046
filly or colt,
including Secretariat.
391
00:25:00,047 --> 00:25:01,580
She beat them all.
392
00:25:01,581 --> 00:25:03,582
She's in a class
all by herself.
393
00:25:03,583 --> 00:25:05,835
She's up there
with the great ones.
394
00:25:16,296 --> 00:25:18,830
What are the odds,
Mr. Whiteley?
395
00:25:18,831 --> 00:25:21,333
26,000 foals
registered every year,
396
00:25:21,334 --> 00:25:23,835
and here, God sends us
this one.
397
00:25:23,836 --> 00:25:25,938
Well...
398
00:25:25,939 --> 00:25:29,275
even a blind hog can find an
acorn now and then, huh, Dan?
399
00:25:36,182 --> 00:25:37,682
They called him
"The Fox of Laurel"...
400
00:25:37,683 --> 00:25:39,134
Here, you take her.
401
00:25:39,135 --> 00:25:40,869
...that for his ability
to keep one eye on his horse...
402
00:25:43,290 --> 00:25:45,624
...and the other eye
on the competition.
403
00:25:49,680 --> 00:25:52,063
Down the stretch they come
in the Hopeful,
404
00:25:52,064 --> 00:25:54,467
and it is Foolish Pleasure
taking command!
405
00:25:54,468 --> 00:25:57,436
Foolish Pleasure,
the tough undefeated colt,
406
00:25:57,437 --> 00:26:00,905
had his own race -
colts only.
407
00:26:00,906 --> 00:26:02,490
Thataboy.
408
00:26:02,491 --> 00:26:04,143
Here's the wire.
409
00:26:04,144 --> 00:26:05,610
Foolish Pleasure
wins the Hopeful
410
00:26:05,611 --> 00:26:06,946
by almost 4 lengths
411
00:26:06,947 --> 00:26:08,697
and remains undefeated.
412
00:26:08,698 --> 00:26:11,600
I told you you should have bet.
413
00:26:17,707 --> 00:26:19,458
All right!
He won, he won!
414
00:26:19,459 --> 00:26:22,394
LeRoy, that's six for six.
415
00:26:22,395 --> 00:26:23,995
Who's counting?
416
00:26:23,996 --> 00:26:26,749
Well, how do you think that compares
against Ruffian's win yesterday?
417
00:26:26,750 --> 00:26:29,334
Fellas, the only way to compare
the two is to let them run together.
418
00:26:29,335 --> 00:26:32,003
Just like my daddy said,
we can only beat the horses
419
00:26:32,004 --> 00:26:34,005
that are willing
to run against us.
420
00:26:34,006 --> 00:26:36,007
Hey, but you ought to be
asking Frank Whiteley
421
00:26:36,008 --> 00:26:38,109
when that girl of his
will be ready to go.
422
00:26:38,110 --> 00:26:41,263
He don't want no part
of this colt.
423
00:26:42,699 --> 00:26:44,950
Frank? Well,
so what do you think?
424
00:26:44,951 --> 00:26:46,735
Well, colt can run
a little bit.
425
00:26:46,736 --> 00:26:48,737
People are saying
that your filly
426
00:26:48,738 --> 00:26:50,739
is the best two-year-old
in the country.
427
00:26:50,740 --> 00:26:52,574
Is that what people are saying?
428
00:26:52,575 --> 00:26:54,576
There's gonna be plenty
of colts
429
00:26:54,577 --> 00:26:56,745
at the Champagne Stakes at
Belmont, including Foolish Pleasure.
430
00:26:56,746 --> 00:26:58,580
Well, don't get all worked up.
431
00:26:58,581 --> 00:27:00,416
October is still
a ways off yet.
432
00:27:00,417 --> 00:27:02,384
Come on. Give me
something, will you?
433
00:27:02,385 --> 00:27:05,421
Anything. An inkling. I got to
have something to write about.
434
00:27:05,422 --> 00:27:07,656
And I thought you guys
made all this stuff up.
435
00:27:08,942 --> 00:27:11,493
All right, look...
436
00:27:11,494 --> 00:27:13,929
we'll go against fillies again
in the Frizette...
437
00:27:13,930 --> 00:27:14,880
OK.
... sharpen her up.
438
00:27:14,881 --> 00:27:15,881
Right.
439
00:27:15,882 --> 00:27:17,483
She comes out of that OK,
440
00:27:17,484 --> 00:27:20,135
maybe we'll go
in the Champagne. Maybe.
441
00:27:22,438 --> 00:27:24,473
That's not much to write about.
442
00:27:24,474 --> 00:27:26,892
Make it up.
443
00:27:26,893 --> 00:27:29,461
Make it up.
444
00:27:33,833 --> 00:27:36,535
The morning of the Frizette,
445
00:27:36,536 --> 00:27:39,654
there was a hush of
anticipation along the shed row.
446
00:27:39,655 --> 00:27:43,342
Could Ruffian continue her
string of record-setting runs?
447
00:27:43,343 --> 00:27:44,510
Mr. Whiteley.
448
00:27:49,882 --> 00:27:52,985
Never seen her leave
this much before.
449
00:27:58,257 --> 00:28:00,392
Well, let's get
her temperature.
450
00:28:00,393 --> 00:28:03,028
Hey, Mike? Grab a shank
and walk her out, would you?
451
00:28:03,029 --> 00:28:04,463
Yes, sir.
452
00:28:07,500 --> 00:28:10,001
There. You see
that funny step?
453
00:28:11,504 --> 00:28:13,572
All right.
Turn her.
454
00:28:17,810 --> 00:28:19,311
And stand.
455
00:28:29,722 --> 00:28:34,426
Well, let's call the vet and
get a set of pictures on her.
456
00:28:34,427 --> 00:28:36,128
What's the problem, Frank?
457
00:28:36,129 --> 00:28:39,030
Well, sir, I don't know why
she's spiking a fever, but she is.
458
00:28:39,031 --> 00:28:42,434
Frank, there are 25,000 people out
there for the Frizette Stakes today.
459
00:28:42,435 --> 00:28:44,969
Yeah, well, we're gonna
have to scratch her.
460
00:28:44,970 --> 00:28:47,306
Nobody knows the horse better than Frank.
461
00:28:47,307 --> 00:28:50,359
If he says she's a scratch, she's out.
462
00:28:50,360 --> 00:28:52,194
Then she's out of the Frizette? Yes, sir.
463
00:28:52,195 --> 00:28:55,030
But she will be ready for the
Champagne Stakes October 5th?
464
00:28:55,031 --> 00:28:57,199
Well, that's entirely
up to her.
465
00:28:57,200 --> 00:28:59,618
No, but, Frank, the Champagne
is a rare opportunity for us
466
00:28:59,619 --> 00:29:02,387
to feature Ruffian and Foolish
Pleasure in the same field.
467
00:29:02,388 --> 00:29:04,606
Horse racing needs this race.
468
00:29:04,607 --> 00:29:07,409
We really need to bring people
back to the tracks again.
469
00:29:07,410 --> 00:29:10,746
Yes, sir. I need
to take care of my horse.
470
00:29:13,833 --> 00:29:15,233
Sorry, fellas.
471
00:29:17,269 --> 00:29:21,656
So, you see this cloudy area
here... and here.
472
00:29:21,657 --> 00:29:23,525
It's a hairline fracture.
473
00:29:23,526 --> 00:29:26,028
She's gonna need a cast.
474
00:29:30,166 --> 00:29:31,983
You're doing good.
Come on.
475
00:29:31,984 --> 00:29:33,985
Here we go.
A little bit more.
476
00:29:33,986 --> 00:29:35,687
Just a little bit more.
477
00:29:35,688 --> 00:29:37,189
Oh - Come on, now.
478
00:29:38,874 --> 00:29:40,743
OK, you're all right.
Come on now.
479
00:29:40,744 --> 00:29:43,078
Easy, missy. Easy.
That's right.
480
00:29:43,079 --> 00:29:45,296
We're almost done here.
481
00:29:45,297 --> 00:29:48,317
Shh, shh...
482
00:29:48,318 --> 00:29:51,120
I don't know, Doc. She's
gonna tear that whole foot up.
483
00:29:51,121 --> 00:29:53,839
You don't give up easy,
do you, girl?
484
00:29:53,840 --> 00:29:56,074
OK, we'll go with the soft one.
485
00:29:58,644 --> 00:30:01,863
You kick me, I'll kick back!
486
00:30:06,852 --> 00:30:08,920
How is she, Doc?
487
00:30:08,921 --> 00:30:12,357
She's got a hairline fracture
on her right hind leg.
488
00:30:12,358 --> 00:30:15,427
When will she be able
to race again?
489
00:30:15,428 --> 00:30:18,296
Mm, it'll be months.
490
00:30:18,297 --> 00:30:20,865
You know what happens?
491
00:30:20,866 --> 00:30:25,954
Here, you've got this half-ton animal
galloping at 36 miles an hour...
492
00:30:25,955 --> 00:30:29,992
and for one split second, when you've got
that foreleg out front of all that weight,
493
00:30:29,993 --> 00:30:33,612
all that force gets thrown
down into that one small hoof.
494
00:30:33,613 --> 00:30:36,465
12,000 pounds of pressure
on that thin lower leg.
495
00:30:42,205 --> 00:30:44,206
Keep an eye on her, Dan.
496
00:30:44,207 --> 00:30:46,274
You bet.
497
00:30:50,613 --> 00:30:52,281
Don't you have a home?
Season's over.
498
00:30:52,282 --> 00:30:55,851
Boy, I sure was looking forward to
seeing her race against Foolish Pleasure.
499
00:30:55,852 --> 00:30:58,787
I hate to disappoint you,
but she's done for the year.
500
00:30:58,788 --> 00:31:02,191
Gonna take her back down to Camden,
let her grow into a three-year-old,
501
00:31:02,192 --> 00:31:04,860
let her be a horse for a while.
502
00:31:04,861 --> 00:31:07,146
With Ruffian now idle
on the sidelines,
503
00:31:07,147 --> 00:31:11,533
the historic Champagne Stakes fell to
the swift mercy of Foolish Pleasure.
504
00:31:11,534 --> 00:31:14,185
Down the stretch they come
in the Champagne Stakes.
505
00:31:14,186 --> 00:31:16,722
It's Foolish Pleasure
with jockey Jacinto Vasquez,
506
00:31:16,723 --> 00:31:18,841
in front by 6 lengths,
507
00:31:18,842 --> 00:31:22,160
and it's Foolish Pleasure,
taking the Champagne by 6.
508
00:31:22,161 --> 00:31:24,162
Gentlemen,
509
00:31:24,163 --> 00:31:26,164
my colt Foolish Pleasure
510
00:31:26,165 --> 00:31:28,734
is now unbeaten
in seven starts.
511
00:31:28,735 --> 00:31:32,787
Now, that's at six different
racetracks, six different distances.
512
00:31:32,788 --> 00:31:36,625
Now, what else
has he got to prove? Ha!
513
00:31:57,363 --> 00:31:59,631
I could take it from here,
Mr. Whiteley.
514
00:31:59,632 --> 00:32:01,616
No, I got it.
You go on home.
515
00:32:01,617 --> 00:32:04,019
You sure?
There's no one else here.
516
00:32:04,020 --> 00:32:06,988
Well, there's 26 head
of horses.
517
00:32:06,989 --> 00:32:09,657
You want me to mix
the medicine for you?
518
00:32:09,658 --> 00:32:11,859
No, go on.
Get out of here.
519
00:32:11,860 --> 00:32:14,129
All right.
520
00:32:14,130 --> 00:32:16,565
Merry Christmas,
Mr. Whiteley.
521
00:32:16,566 --> 00:32:17,816
Yep.
522
00:32:36,202 --> 00:32:38,970
Oh, girl, you know
I can't turn you out.
523
00:32:38,971 --> 00:32:42,306
Just run yourself silly
and get hurt again.
524
00:32:44,043 --> 00:32:48,263
You probably don't even know
you're hurtin', do you?
525
00:32:48,264 --> 00:32:50,982
Heh.
526
00:32:50,983 --> 00:32:55,053
Maybe a year or two from now...
527
00:32:55,054 --> 00:32:57,856
if you make them colts
cry "Uncle."
528
00:33:10,870 --> 00:33:13,371
Well...
529
00:33:13,372 --> 00:33:15,874
tell you what.
530
00:33:15,875 --> 00:33:18,509
One little stroll,
531
00:33:18,510 --> 00:33:20,946
just 'cause it's Christmas.
532
00:33:32,091 --> 00:33:36,111
Now, listen, missy,
I'm turning you loose.
533
00:33:36,112 --> 00:33:40,081
You're not gonna go crazy and
make me look bad now, are you? Huh?
534
00:33:44,020 --> 00:33:45,670
All right.
535
00:33:50,560 --> 00:33:53,177
Quite the little lady.
536
00:34:02,187 --> 00:34:05,040
Come on, let's take
a little stroll.
537
00:34:11,781 --> 00:34:13,081
Here.
538
00:34:23,076 --> 00:34:25,543
You're feeling good.
539
00:34:26,912 --> 00:34:29,164
Come on.
540
00:34:40,126 --> 00:34:42,694
There was a sense of electricity
in the air that spring morning.
541
00:34:42,695 --> 00:34:45,931
She came back to Belmont
groomed and glistening
542
00:34:45,932 --> 00:34:47,665
in a black fur coat,
543
00:34:47,666 --> 00:34:49,767
bigger than she was
last season,
544
00:34:49,768 --> 00:34:52,888
wider, taller, fuller,
545
00:34:52,889 --> 00:34:56,124
looking like a princess
who had grown into a queen.
546
00:34:58,093 --> 00:34:59,961
33 and 2/5.
547
00:34:59,962 --> 00:35:01,897
She's flying.
548
00:35:01,898 --> 00:35:04,233
Welcome back,
Mr. Whiteley.
549
00:35:04,234 --> 00:35:06,250
Oh, I knew my day
was going too good.
550
00:35:06,251 --> 00:35:08,036
Looks like
your filly's back, too.
551
00:35:08,037 --> 00:35:10,355
Got any race picked out yet?
552
00:35:10,356 --> 00:35:12,457
Couple weeks.
553
00:35:12,458 --> 00:35:15,527
Nice to see you, too.
554
00:35:21,284 --> 00:35:23,101
And they're off!
555
00:35:23,102 --> 00:35:26,537
And Ruffian, undefeated
in five starts last year,
556
00:35:26,538 --> 00:35:28,823
jumps right to the front
in her comeback,
557
00:35:28,824 --> 00:35:31,977
and she is in front
by a length quickly.
558
00:35:33,646 --> 00:35:37,266
Down the stretch they come,
Ruffian in front.
559
00:35:37,267 --> 00:35:39,484
A sensational return
to the racing wars.
560
00:35:39,485 --> 00:35:41,937
Ruffian by almost 5 lengths.
561
00:35:41,938 --> 00:35:44,222
It's Ruffian, and she's back.
562
00:35:45,758 --> 00:35:48,492
Mr. Whiteley, it's too early
in her comeback
563
00:35:48,493 --> 00:35:50,512
for Ruffian
to run in the Derby,
564
00:35:50,513 --> 00:35:52,714
but is there any chance
she'll run the Preakness? Nope.
565
00:35:52,715 --> 00:35:56,485
You're from Maryland. Wouldn't it be nice
to get back to your old stomping grounds?
566
00:35:56,486 --> 00:35:58,654
The Preakness has turned into a big circus.
567
00:35:58,655 --> 00:36:02,074
Her dates are the Acorn, the
Mother Goose and the Oaks.
568
00:36:02,075 --> 00:36:03,875
Filly Triple Crown.
That's right.
569
00:36:03,876 --> 00:36:07,596
She's running strictly with the
girls. She does like boys, doesn't she?
570
00:36:07,597 --> 00:36:09,998
She likes everybody
except reporters.
571
00:36:11,884 --> 00:36:14,185
What are you smiling
about, Jacinto?
572
00:36:14,186 --> 00:36:17,222
I get to ride the best filly
and the best colt,
573
00:36:17,223 --> 00:36:19,490
and now I don't even
have to choose.
574
00:36:20,977 --> 00:36:23,478
As usual, in the spring,
575
00:36:23,479 --> 00:36:26,398
the pace of thoroughbred racing
began to quicken.
576
00:36:34,056 --> 00:36:36,558
A month later, Foolish
Pleasure came from behind
577
00:36:36,559 --> 00:36:39,060
to win the Kentucky Derby.
578
00:36:39,061 --> 00:36:41,580
And down the stretch they come
579
00:36:41,581 --> 00:36:43,749
in the first jewel
of the Filly Triple Crown.
580
00:36:43,750 --> 00:36:45,734
The following week,
581
00:36:45,735 --> 00:36:47,903
Ruffian trounced the field
of fillies in the Acorn.
582
00:36:47,904 --> 00:36:50,806
Ruffian, in another
stakes record performance!
583
00:36:53,409 --> 00:36:57,713
But then Foolish Pleasure
fell short at the Preakness...
584
00:36:57,714 --> 00:37:00,381
while Ruffian
just kept rolling,
585
00:37:00,382 --> 00:37:03,151
winning the second leg
of the Filly Triple Crown
586
00:37:03,152 --> 00:37:05,320
and once again setting
a new stakes record.
587
00:37:05,321 --> 00:37:07,823
Mr. Laurin, as the man
who trained Secretariat,
588
00:37:07,824 --> 00:37:10,826
I wonder if you could share with
us your thoughts about Ruffian.
589
00:37:10,827 --> 00:37:15,330
As God is my witness, she may
be even better than Secretariat.
590
00:37:18,835 --> 00:37:22,136
A week later, Foolish Pleasure
gave it all he had,
591
00:37:22,137 --> 00:37:25,339
but lost by a head
in the Belmont.
592
00:37:27,910 --> 00:37:32,414
Frank Whiteley had the only undefeated
three-year-old at this point.
593
00:37:32,415 --> 00:37:35,850
He planned to win the third and
final leg of the Filly Triple Crown
594
00:37:35,851 --> 00:37:38,987
and then beat the heat in July.
595
00:37:43,843 --> 00:37:46,311
Cassie,
I need you to proof this,
596
00:37:46,312 --> 00:37:48,597
particularly this name,
that fact,
597
00:37:48,598 --> 00:37:49,814
and also check on...
598
00:37:53,652 --> 00:37:55,653
Oh, I gotta call you back.
599
00:37:55,654 --> 00:37:58,156
What are you doing here?
This is a place of business.
600
00:37:58,157 --> 00:37:59,825
You heard the rumor?
What rumor?
601
00:37:59,826 --> 00:38:02,626
The race of champions.
The race of champions?
602
00:38:02,627 --> 00:38:05,781
The big boys in the NYRA, they're trying
to do something to spike attendance.
603
00:38:05,782 --> 00:38:07,999
Yeah, so? Three different horses each won a leg
604
00:38:08,000 --> 00:38:10,468
of the Triple Crown this year, right? Yeah?
605
00:38:10,469 --> 00:38:11,920
First time in five years.
606
00:38:11,921 --> 00:38:14,689
They're gonna put all three
of them into one starting gate,
607
00:38:14,690 --> 00:38:17,676
see which one's
the best of the bunch.
608
00:38:17,677 --> 00:38:19,911
What about Ruffian?
609
00:38:21,096 --> 00:38:24,165
The boys forgot to invite her
to their little stag party.
610
00:38:37,279 --> 00:38:40,282
Hey, Dick, get a load of this.
611
00:38:40,283 --> 00:38:42,300
"Race of champions?
612
00:38:42,301 --> 00:38:45,203
That's either a bad joke
or false advertising."
613
00:38:45,204 --> 00:38:48,206
Huh? Huh? "Truth is, no
three-year-old colt this year
614
00:38:48,207 --> 00:38:51,109
"can call himself a champion
unless he tests himself
615
00:38:51,110 --> 00:38:53,495
against the unequaled
filly Ruffian."
616
00:38:53,496 --> 00:38:56,331
Need a kicker.
Give me a kicker.
617
00:38:56,332 --> 00:38:57,716
Gentlemen?
618
00:38:57,717 --> 00:38:59,684
Ah! Gentlemen.
Thank you.
619
00:38:59,685 --> 00:39:01,269
"Gentlemen,
620
00:39:01,270 --> 00:39:03,604
"you cannot steal the crown
621
00:39:03,605 --> 00:39:05,340
of a champion."
622
00:39:07,477 --> 00:39:11,129
"You... must...
623
00:39:11,130 --> 00:39:13,098
earn it."
624
00:39:13,099 --> 00:39:14,899
Very nice.
625
00:39:14,900 --> 00:39:17,585
"You cannot steal
the crown of a champion.
626
00:39:17,586 --> 00:39:19,087
You must earn it."
627
00:39:19,088 --> 00:39:21,089
Oh, boy, that is
good writing. Heh-heh.
628
00:39:21,090 --> 00:39:22,757
You got the girls
buzzing with that.
629
00:39:22,758 --> 00:39:25,660
Ha-ha. Can't say I'm surprised. Frank like it?
630
00:39:25,661 --> 00:39:28,163
Ha! I think you'll have
to ask him about that.
631
00:39:28,164 --> 00:39:30,165
Ah. I'm sure he did.
632
00:39:30,166 --> 00:39:33,201
Field of four horses -
three colts and Ruffian.
633
00:39:33,202 --> 00:39:35,570
The column got it right.
Got it right?
634
00:39:35,571 --> 00:39:38,139
Avatar's already on an
airplane back to California.
635
00:39:38,140 --> 00:39:39,975
He's not turning back.
636
00:39:39,976 --> 00:39:42,477
And there's no way in hell
LeRoy Jolley's gonna run his colt
637
00:39:42,478 --> 00:39:45,480
against another stalker like
Master Derby and my speed horse.
638
00:39:45,481 --> 00:39:47,115
Now you watch.
639
00:39:47,116 --> 00:39:49,951
They'll find a way to get
Master Derby to drop out, too,
640
00:39:49,952 --> 00:39:51,987
and then where's
your four-horse field, huh?
641
00:39:51,988 --> 00:39:53,989
How many horses we got left?
642
00:39:53,990 --> 00:39:54,990
Two.
643
00:39:54,991 --> 00:39:56,525
Yeah. What kind
of race is that?
644
00:39:56,526 --> 00:40:00,244
A match race. Boy versus girl.
Ruffian versus Foolish Pleasure.
645
00:40:00,245 --> 00:40:03,097
The two best three-year-olds in
the country, a fight to the finish.
646
00:40:03,098 --> 00:40:05,366
I thought
the racing association
647
00:40:05,367 --> 00:40:07,602
made a commitment
to run those three colts.
648
00:40:07,603 --> 00:40:09,604
Avatar dropped out.
649
00:40:09,605 --> 00:40:12,407
What about the Preakness
winner - Master Derby?
650
00:40:12,408 --> 00:40:16,161
The owners have been
compensated. $50,000 to withdraw.
651
00:40:16,162 --> 00:40:17,862
50 grand not to race?
652
00:40:17,863 --> 00:40:19,013
What sort of nonsense...
653
00:40:19,014 --> 00:40:20,948
It makes perfect sense,
Aunt Barbara.
654
00:40:20,949 --> 00:40:24,169
It clears the way for the race
the world wants to see.
655
00:40:24,170 --> 00:40:28,306
I don't know.
Did you speak to Frank?
656
00:40:29,909 --> 00:40:31,910
Ruffian belongs to you,
657
00:40:31,911 --> 00:40:33,978
but she also belongs
to the public.
658
00:40:33,979 --> 00:40:37,165
After all, it's the race fans that
make that $400,000 purse possible.
659
00:40:37,166 --> 00:40:39,233
You can't put a price on this.
660
00:40:39,234 --> 00:40:41,586
55,000 fans here at Belmont,
661
00:40:41,587 --> 00:40:44,255
20 million more
watching on television.
662
00:40:44,256 --> 00:40:47,141
The largest purse ever, more
people viewing than ever before.
663
00:40:47,142 --> 00:40:49,744
This one event
could revive the sport.
664
00:41:11,767 --> 00:41:13,768
Mr. Janney,
you're up early.
665
00:41:13,769 --> 00:41:16,271
Ah, couldn't sleep.
666
00:41:19,225 --> 00:41:21,159
Beautiful horse.
667
00:41:21,160 --> 00:41:23,678
She's about as close to perfect as I ever seen.
668
00:41:23,679 --> 00:41:26,881
You ready to win the Oaks?
You bet.
669
00:41:26,882 --> 00:41:29,417
And after that...
670
00:41:29,418 --> 00:41:32,987
Frank, you and I both know
that, some point,
671
00:41:32,988 --> 00:41:35,489
she's gonna have to run
against the boys.
672
00:41:35,490 --> 00:41:39,427
I'm thinking the Travers
up at Saratoga, mid-August.
673
00:41:39,428 --> 00:41:41,362
It's a long way off.
674
00:41:41,363 --> 00:41:43,731
Well, good horses
always need some time.
675
00:41:43,732 --> 00:41:46,134
Frank, you asked for more time
676
00:41:46,135 --> 00:41:49,270
the end of last season,
I gave it to you.
677
00:41:49,271 --> 00:41:51,773
You know I trust you
with this horse.
678
00:41:51,774 --> 00:41:54,642
It's just that the pressure
to have this match race
679
00:41:54,643 --> 00:41:56,844
is just - it's overwhelming.
680
00:41:56,845 --> 00:42:00,048
I don't see how
we can get out of it.
681
00:42:00,049 --> 00:42:02,149
They've got our backs
against the wall.
682
00:42:02,150 --> 00:42:04,285
The newspapers
won't let go of it.
683
00:42:04,286 --> 00:42:07,388
The truth of the matter is,
the sport is hurting.
684
00:42:07,389 --> 00:42:10,291
Barbara and I can do
something to help,
685
00:42:10,292 --> 00:42:12,110
really help.
686
00:42:12,111 --> 00:42:14,078
Right now, I-I...
687
00:42:14,079 --> 00:42:18,215
I don't see how I can let a
few months stand in the way.
688
00:42:18,216 --> 00:42:20,101
Mr. Janney, all I really know is horses.
689
00:42:20,102 --> 00:42:22,604
I mean, I don't know about the
business end of this game, but...
690
00:42:22,605 --> 00:42:24,606
I just don't think a match race
691
00:42:24,607 --> 00:42:26,608
is the right thing for her.
692
00:42:26,609 --> 00:42:28,726
Are you saying she'll lose?
693
00:42:28,727 --> 00:42:31,078
No, but... that colt's
gonna be breathing on her
694
00:42:31,079 --> 00:42:33,098
every step of the way.
695
00:42:33,099 --> 00:42:36,701
They're gonna have to sprint
a solid mile and a quarter.
696
00:42:36,702 --> 00:42:38,436
You know, I understand
697
00:42:38,437 --> 00:42:41,206
you're under a lot
of pressure, sir, but...
698
00:42:41,207 --> 00:42:44,409
I'd just prefer you didn't
pass that on to the filly.
699
00:42:45,994 --> 00:42:48,128
Well, she's a great racehorse,
700
00:42:48,129 --> 00:42:50,264
maybe one of the best ever.
701
00:42:50,265 --> 00:42:53,401
If we don't push her, she just
might have a chance to prove it.
702
00:42:53,402 --> 00:42:57,255
With all due respect, you
didn't answer my question.
703
00:42:57,256 --> 00:42:59,757
Can she win this race?
704
00:42:59,758 --> 00:43:02,260
Yes, sir, she sure can.
705
00:43:02,261 --> 00:43:06,531
Will you train her
so she can win it?
706
00:43:06,532 --> 00:43:09,600
I'm not gonna walk away
from her now, am I?
707
00:43:09,601 --> 00:43:12,153
We've come too far, huh?
708
00:43:15,975 --> 00:43:18,175
Thank you, Frank.
709
00:43:34,994 --> 00:43:36,927
We are pleased to announce
that a match race has been set
710
00:43:36,928 --> 00:43:41,199
for July 6th between Foolish Pleasure,
this year's Kentucky Derby winner,
711
00:43:41,200 --> 00:43:42,800
and Stuart Janney's
fine filly Ruffian,
712
00:43:42,801 --> 00:43:44,802
the best filly of this era,
possibly of all time.
713
00:43:44,803 --> 00:43:47,571
CBS will broadcast the event
live from Belmont Park
714
00:43:47,572 --> 00:43:49,573
for all of America to see.
715
00:43:49,574 --> 00:43:51,575
The purse will be the richest
716
00:43:51,576 --> 00:43:55,346
in American thoroughbred
racing history - $400,000...
717
00:43:55,347 --> 00:43:58,882
with $225,000 going
to the winner.
718
00:43:58,883 --> 00:44:00,051
Question.
719
00:44:00,052 --> 00:44:01,151
Mr. Nack,
720
00:44:01,152 --> 00:44:04,606
as our most vocal advocate
for this event,
721
00:44:04,607 --> 00:44:06,340
ask away.
722
00:44:06,341 --> 00:44:08,526
Question for Mr. Whiteley.
723
00:44:08,527 --> 00:44:11,029
Will Jacinto Vasquez
be riding your filly
724
00:44:11,030 --> 00:44:13,665
or Mr. Jolley's colt?
725
00:44:13,666 --> 00:44:16,151
You're gonna have to ask him.
726
00:44:18,154 --> 00:44:20,638
That's it. Bring up
the T-shirts.
727
00:44:20,639 --> 00:44:23,474
Ladies and gentlemen, we have some gifts
for you to kick off this historic event.
728
00:44:23,475 --> 00:44:26,861
You'll just have to decide
if you're rooting for her...
729
00:44:26,862 --> 00:44:28,596
or for him.
730
00:44:32,233 --> 00:44:33,534
Look at this.
731
00:44:33,535 --> 00:44:35,970
He's trying to make a bra
burner out of this filly.
732
00:44:35,971 --> 00:44:37,338
It sells tickets.
733
00:44:37,339 --> 00:44:40,574
Sells newspapers, too.
Isn't that right, Nack?
734
00:44:40,575 --> 00:44:45,028
Well... let the battle
of the sexes begin.
735
00:44:50,001 --> 00:44:52,069
Hey, fellas.
736
00:44:54,072 --> 00:44:58,392
You're gonna have to make up your
mind, Jacinto, one way or the other.
737
00:44:58,393 --> 00:44:59,994
What do you think?
738
00:44:59,995 --> 00:45:02,046
Are you telling me what to do?
739
00:45:02,047 --> 00:45:04,115
It's your choice, Jacinto.
740
00:45:04,116 --> 00:45:07,118
I just want you to have all the
facts before you make your decision.
741
00:45:07,119 --> 00:45:09,487
Now, if you do go
with Foolish Pleasure,
742
00:45:09,488 --> 00:45:12,090
of course you're not gonna be
able to ride my filly anymore.
743
00:45:12,091 --> 00:45:14,592
You know that, don't you?
744
00:45:14,593 --> 00:45:18,963
That's a lot of purse money
left on the table, isn't it?
745
00:45:18,964 --> 00:45:22,767
Well, Mr. Jolley said I can ride
for him no matter who I choose.
746
00:45:22,768 --> 00:45:25,903
Well, he's a generous man.
I'm not.
747
00:45:25,904 --> 00:45:28,956
So what's it gonna be,
Puerto Rican?
748
00:45:30,559 --> 00:45:33,510
Oh, man, why you got to
bust my chops all the time?
749
00:45:33,511 --> 00:45:35,897
You make it so hard to like
you, I'll tell you that.
750
00:45:35,898 --> 00:45:38,316
I don't want you to like me.
751
00:45:38,317 --> 00:45:41,885
If you start liking me, you'd be
riding her for the wrong reasons.
752
00:45:41,886 --> 00:45:45,189
The only reason
to get on her back
753
00:45:45,190 --> 00:45:48,091
is 'cause you think
she's the better horse.
754
00:45:53,298 --> 00:45:55,900
So what's it gonna be?
755
00:46:06,178 --> 00:46:08,679
Hey, which horse you gonna
ride for the match race?
756
00:46:08,680 --> 00:46:11,933
Stay away from my jockey, Nack.
757
00:46:23,078 --> 00:46:26,531
It's Ruffian in front
by a length and 3/4.
758
00:46:26,532 --> 00:46:28,900
Equal Change on the outside,
second by one,
759
00:46:28,901 --> 00:46:32,620
and Let Me Linger is racing third
as they come to the eighth pole.
760
00:46:34,305 --> 00:46:37,208
Down the stretch they come.
Ruffian...
761
00:46:37,209 --> 00:46:38,960
Come on, baby! go!
Yes!
762
00:46:38,961 --> 00:46:40,628
...Equal Change is second...
763
00:46:40,629 --> 00:46:42,062
Come on! Go! Go!
764
00:46:42,063 --> 00:46:43,965
...to the wire.
765
00:46:46,552 --> 00:46:49,470
It's Ruffian!
766
00:46:49,471 --> 00:46:52,056
And Ruffian sweeps
the Filly Triple Crown...
767
00:46:52,057 --> 00:46:53,658
That's it!
Yeah! Yeah!
768
00:46:53,659 --> 00:46:56,043
...2:27 and 4/5 seconds.
769
00:46:56,044 --> 00:46:57,678
What a performance.
770
00:47:04,019 --> 00:47:05,920
Did you get yours?
771
00:47:05,921 --> 00:47:08,372
Heh! You got
the wrong name on that pin.
772
00:47:08,373 --> 00:47:10,425
Good job.
Way to go.
773
00:47:10,426 --> 00:47:12,910
Congratulations.
Way to finish.
774
00:47:12,911 --> 00:47:15,212
That's great!
775
00:47:22,837 --> 00:47:25,105
Well, she set a stakes record,
776
00:47:25,106 --> 00:47:27,858
and Jacinto was holding her
under wraps.
777
00:47:27,859 --> 00:47:30,845
What do you think of that?
778
00:47:30,846 --> 00:47:33,614
She's gonna be very tough. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.
779
00:47:33,615 --> 00:47:35,683
You choose your jock yet?
780
00:47:35,684 --> 00:47:37,184
Baeza.
781
00:47:37,185 --> 00:47:38,953
Baeza?
782
00:47:38,954 --> 00:47:41,622
Adding a little fuel
to the fire.
783
00:47:41,623 --> 00:47:42,957
After two shots at Ruffian,
784
00:47:42,958 --> 00:47:44,892
nobody wants to beat her
more than Baeza.
785
00:47:44,893 --> 00:47:48,312
No one wants to beat Frank Whiteley
more than Baeza, right? Heh-heh-heh.
786
00:47:48,313 --> 00:47:50,531
Well, the jock don't like him, that's for sure.
787
00:47:50,532 --> 00:47:52,283
Oh, no. Heh-heh.
788
00:47:52,284 --> 00:47:56,120
You... sore at Jacinto
for going with the filly?
789
00:47:56,121 --> 00:47:57,788
No.
790
00:47:57,789 --> 00:48:00,191
He chose Ruffian 'cause he thinks she's the best.
791
00:48:00,192 --> 00:48:02,627
I think Foolish Pleasure's the best.
792
00:48:02,628 --> 00:48:06,063
And that, my friend,
is what makes horse races.
793
00:48:06,064 --> 00:48:08,065
Sure.
794
00:48:08,066 --> 00:48:11,068
To the winner and still-undefeated
champion - Ruffian.
795
00:48:11,069 --> 00:48:13,070
Well, to our network sponsors.
796
00:48:13,071 --> 00:48:14,505
Ah, thank you.
Cheers.
797
00:48:15,824 --> 00:48:18,743
When Billie Jean King
beat Bobby Riggs
798
00:48:18,744 --> 00:48:20,394
just two summers ago,
799
00:48:20,395 --> 00:48:22,796
their tennis match
drew 30,000 fans.
800
00:48:22,797 --> 00:48:25,566
We're expecting 55,000
for the great match race.
801
00:48:29,671 --> 00:48:31,789
But, no matter who wins
on July 6th,
802
00:48:31,790 --> 00:48:34,675
we will all be winners, because
we'll have drawn millions of viewers
803
00:48:34,676 --> 00:48:38,663
and millions of new fans to
the great sport of horse racing.
804
00:48:38,664 --> 00:48:40,631
Hear, hear.
805
00:48:43,469 --> 00:48:46,387
Mr. Janney,
you wanted to see me?
806
00:48:46,388 --> 00:48:49,223
Frank, I just want you to know
that when all of this is over,
807
00:48:49,224 --> 00:48:51,325
we're gonna go back
to your schedule.
808
00:48:51,326 --> 00:48:53,327
Yes, sir. Appreciate that.
809
00:48:53,328 --> 00:48:56,697
Dinny and the fellas from CBS
want to have a few words with you.
810
00:48:56,698 --> 00:48:59,434
Last-minute details
to hash out,
811
00:48:59,435 --> 00:49:01,486
cameras and whatnot, OK?
812
00:49:01,487 --> 00:49:03,454
Yep.
Good.
813
00:49:03,455 --> 00:49:06,407
A mile-and-a-quarter race has
its starting at this colored post,
814
00:49:06,408 --> 00:49:08,443
down here on what we call
the clubhouse turn...
815
00:49:08,444 --> 00:49:10,377
You can't start a match race on the turn.
816
00:49:10,378 --> 00:49:12,763
Our audience
will want to see...
817
00:49:12,764 --> 00:49:14,965
No. They're gonna break out of
the gate wide open, go into a turn?
818
00:49:14,966 --> 00:49:17,051
We need a shot of
the start of the race.
819
00:49:17,052 --> 00:49:19,253
I don't care about your
cameras. I care about my filly.
820
00:49:22,006 --> 00:49:24,258
It's got to start in the chute.
821
00:49:26,395 --> 00:49:28,729
You might as well start
in New Jersey.
822
00:49:28,730 --> 00:49:31,933
No. If we do that, the crowd won't know
what's going on for the first quarter-mile.
823
00:49:31,934 --> 00:49:35,253
Heh. Well, how 'bout
we move the crowd?
824
00:49:35,254 --> 00:49:37,255
We'll get a much better shot
825
00:49:37,256 --> 00:49:39,173
if we start
at the clubhouse turn.
826
00:49:39,174 --> 00:49:41,358
This is a horse race.
It's not a picture show.
827
00:49:42,527 --> 00:49:45,212
Is that the best we can do?
828
00:49:47,449 --> 00:49:49,517
What do you think?
829
00:49:49,518 --> 00:49:51,953
I've already told you
what I think, Mr. Janney.
830
00:49:51,954 --> 00:49:54,455
You asked me, "Can we win this,"
and I think she can, but...
831
00:49:54,456 --> 00:49:57,908
you want to start her
on the turn...
832
00:49:57,909 --> 00:50:01,445
you're just gonna have to find
yourself a different trainer.
833
00:50:07,151 --> 00:50:09,720
The New York Racing Association
and Belmont Park
834
00:50:09,721 --> 00:50:13,290
must always place the safety
of our racehorses first.
835
00:50:13,291 --> 00:50:15,693
Therefore, we've come to the
conclusion we have no choice
836
00:50:15,694 --> 00:50:19,230
but to begin this great match
race running a mile and a quarter
837
00:50:19,231 --> 00:50:22,649
between Ruffian and Foolish
Pleasure on our historic chute.
838
00:50:22,650 --> 00:50:26,270
We've all been waiting a very
long time for this, gentlemen,
839
00:50:26,271 --> 00:50:30,408
and we look forward to seeing
you there on match-race day.
840
00:50:30,409 --> 00:50:32,643
All I'm asking
is one good workout, OK?
841
00:50:32,644 --> 00:50:34,178
You know the horse.
You won the Derby on him.
842
00:50:34,179 --> 00:50:37,181
Come on. Just, uh...
bring him up to speed.
843
00:50:37,182 --> 00:50:39,133
He's not doing what
he needs to be doing, OK?
844
00:50:39,134 --> 00:50:40,501
You owe me this much.
845
00:50:40,502 --> 00:50:42,236
I'll think about it,
and I'll let you know.
846
00:50:42,237 --> 00:50:44,789
Let me know.
Yeah. Thank you.
847
00:50:49,928 --> 00:50:51,729
What's on old LeRoy's mind?
848
00:50:51,730 --> 00:50:54,749
Nothing. He wanted to know if I can
work Foolish Pleasure tomorrow morning.
849
00:50:54,750 --> 00:50:56,183
What?
850
00:50:56,184 --> 00:50:58,819
So you can sharpen his colt
to beat my filly?
851
00:50:58,820 --> 00:51:01,489
Are you kidding? I never said I would do it.
852
00:51:01,490 --> 00:51:04,792
You better not. He's just messing
with your mind, Puerto Rican.
853
00:51:04,793 --> 00:51:06,594
I know.
854
00:51:06,595 --> 00:51:09,379
He knows he ain't got
the horse.
855
00:51:09,380 --> 00:51:11,181
He knows there's no way in hell
856
00:51:11,182 --> 00:51:13,884
I'd let you anywhere near Foolish
Pleasure between now and Sunday.
857
00:51:13,885 --> 00:51:16,704
He's just trying to build
a fire under Baeza's ass.
858
00:51:16,705 --> 00:51:20,074
It's like this race
is already being run, huh?
859
00:51:21,926 --> 00:51:25,362
You're not having second thoughts, are you?
860
00:51:25,363 --> 00:51:26,697
Heh.
861
00:51:56,010 --> 00:51:58,095
22 and change.
862
00:51:58,096 --> 00:52:02,183
So what do you think about all this
women's-lib jazz surrounding the race?
863
00:52:02,184 --> 00:52:05,186
Well, at this point in era,
864
00:52:05,187 --> 00:52:08,689
there's no way a filly
is gonna beat a colt.
865
00:52:26,958 --> 00:52:30,311
Ruffian's going to win
because she's the better horse.
866
00:52:30,312 --> 00:52:32,062
Foolish Pleasure
just because he's a male.
867
00:52:32,063 --> 00:52:33,497
Ruffian because she's a female.
868
00:52:33,498 --> 00:52:34,798
I say Ruffian.
869
00:52:34,799 --> 00:52:37,267
I have to agree with my wife.
870
00:52:37,268 --> 00:52:39,903
I like Foolish Pleasure, 'cause
I'm a male chauvinist pig.
871
00:52:46,577 --> 00:52:49,547
And here comes Ruffian,
eating up the track.
872
00:52:49,548 --> 00:52:52,700
The filly is only the fourth horse
to sweep the Filly Triple Crown,
873
00:52:52,701 --> 00:52:54,935
and this workout today
is her last
874
00:52:54,936 --> 00:52:59,590
before a showdown with Kentucky Derby
winner the colt Foolish Pleasure.
875
00:52:59,591 --> 00:53:02,108
One shot.
One shot.
876
00:53:02,109 --> 00:53:05,996
Mr. Whiteley, one picture of
the horse. Come on, just one.
877
00:53:05,997 --> 00:53:07,932
She's Wonder Woman,
for crying out loud.
878
00:53:07,933 --> 00:53:10,000
The people want to see her.
879
00:53:10,001 --> 00:53:11,852
Yeah!
880
00:53:11,853 --> 00:53:14,755
All right.
Maybe just one.
881
00:53:14,756 --> 00:53:16,991
Hey, Mike?
882
00:53:16,992 --> 00:53:20,745
Send them on down to stall 9, would
you, and let them have one shot?
883
00:53:20,746 --> 00:53:22,029
Stall 9, sir?
884
00:53:22,030 --> 00:53:23,948
Yeah.
885
00:53:23,949 --> 00:53:25,749
You sure you want
to disturb her, boss?
886
00:53:25,750 --> 00:53:28,068
I think she can handle it.
Don't you?
887
00:53:28,069 --> 00:53:30,371
If you say so, yes, sir.
888
00:53:30,372 --> 00:53:32,923
And just one shot, but be
careful 'cause she bites.
889
00:53:32,924 --> 00:53:34,424
You got our word.
One and done.
890
00:53:34,425 --> 00:53:36,927
Well, you heard
the man. Come on.
891
00:53:36,928 --> 00:53:38,595
Kicks, too.
892
00:53:38,596 --> 00:53:41,115
Thank you, sir.
Thank you.
893
00:53:48,023 --> 00:53:51,392
Right down here?
All right.
894
00:53:51,393 --> 00:53:52,877
Get a shot?
895
00:53:52,878 --> 00:53:54,544
Just one, now.
896
00:53:54,545 --> 00:53:55,463
OK.
897
00:53:56,965 --> 00:53:58,532
OK.
898
00:53:59,801 --> 00:54:01,385
Oh...
899
00:54:02,888 --> 00:54:04,338
Are we ready?
900
00:54:05,891 --> 00:54:08,192
Behind me is the brilliant filly Ruffian.
901
00:54:08,193 --> 00:54:10,894
The hopes and dreams of
girls and women everywhere...
902
00:54:10,895 --> 00:54:12,963
Idiots.
903
00:54:12,964 --> 00:54:14,665
...this Sunday
as she takes on
904
00:54:14,666 --> 00:54:16,467
Kentucky Derby winner
Foolish Pleasure.
905
00:54:16,468 --> 00:54:18,502
Can a girl beat a boy?
906
00:54:18,503 --> 00:54:22,539
Is the female of the species
better than the male?
907
00:54:24,642 --> 00:54:27,744
Old Frank sure knows how to get
around the press, doesn't he?
908
00:54:27,745 --> 00:54:31,048
Yeah, it's hard to believe they
can't tell that horse from this one.
909
00:54:32,550 --> 00:54:35,552
I bet she'd love to be over there,
posing for all those cameras.
910
00:54:35,553 --> 00:54:37,054
Ain't that the truth?
911
00:54:37,055 --> 00:54:38,555
Look at her.
912
00:54:38,556 --> 00:54:41,058
Not a worry in the world.
913
00:54:41,059 --> 00:54:43,160
All she wants to do is run.
914
00:54:43,161 --> 00:54:46,630
It's a long time to wait
for those two minutes.
915
00:54:48,066 --> 00:54:50,134
You nervous?
916
00:54:50,135 --> 00:54:54,138
Every time she goes,
I'm nervous as a cat.
917
00:54:56,574 --> 00:54:58,642
See ya.
918
00:55:04,966 --> 00:55:07,650
Behind me stands
the brilliant filly Ruffian.
919
00:55:07,651 --> 00:55:10,153
The hopes and dreams
of girls and women everywhere
920
00:55:10,154 --> 00:55:12,155
will be riding on her
this Sunday
921
00:55:12,156 --> 00:55:15,225
as she takes on Kentucky
Derby winner Foolish Pleasure.
922
00:55:15,226 --> 00:55:17,060
We were watching that.
923
00:55:17,061 --> 00:55:20,464
Boy versus girl. He versus
she. Battle of the sexes.
924
00:55:20,465 --> 00:55:23,800
First of all, you know what?
It's horses! Horses, not people!
925
00:55:23,801 --> 00:55:27,087
And we're supposed to be
journalists. Objective journalists.
926
00:55:27,088 --> 00:55:29,256
Now, come on.
Go back to work.
927
00:55:29,257 --> 00:55:30,524
What's the problem?
928
00:55:30,525 --> 00:55:32,459
The problem?
929
00:55:32,460 --> 00:55:34,761
It's-It's the spectacle,
you know? The circus.
930
00:55:34,762 --> 00:55:38,982
It's not what I wanted.
It's not what I write about.
931
00:55:41,837 --> 00:55:44,255
You know why you're
a great sportswriter?
932
00:55:44,256 --> 00:55:46,490
'Cause you love the game and
you're passionate about it,
933
00:55:46,491 --> 00:55:48,175
more than most people.
934
00:55:48,176 --> 00:55:50,894
Sometimes they move in
directions you don't want to go.
935
00:56:07,812 --> 00:56:10,647
Sorry.
936
00:56:42,447 --> 00:56:45,315
Good afternoon, and welcome
to the great match race.
937
00:56:45,316 --> 00:56:48,318
We're here at Belmont Park for what many
have called "the battle of the sexes."
938
00:56:48,319 --> 00:56:50,620
Today, a black beauty
of a filly named Ruffian,
939
00:56:50,621 --> 00:56:52,489
winner of all ten
of her starts,
940
00:56:52,490 --> 00:56:54,657
will take on the powerful colt
Foolish Pleasure,
941
00:56:54,658 --> 00:56:56,726
winner of the Kentucky Derby.
942
00:56:56,727 --> 00:57:00,247
Yes, it's a day to dance,
a day to celebrate,
943
00:57:00,248 --> 00:57:03,551
for this great match race
is an historic event,
944
00:57:03,552 --> 00:57:05,302
a classic sporting
confrontation,
945
00:57:05,303 --> 00:57:08,589
featuring a match-up as electric as
that of any World Series, Super Bowl
946
00:57:08,590 --> 00:57:11,058
or heavyweight title bout.
947
00:57:11,059 --> 00:57:13,460
but there's competition
beyond the track as well...
948
00:57:13,461 --> 00:57:15,845
the so-called women's libbers
versus the male chauvinists.
949
00:57:15,846 --> 00:57:17,931
Male versus female. Guys,
are you gonna win today?
950
00:57:17,932 --> 00:57:19,566
Yeah!
Yeah!
951
00:57:19,567 --> 00:57:22,435
I don't know if you're gonna
be outdone by the ladies.
952
00:57:24,072 --> 00:57:25,806
As you can see,
953
00:57:25,807 --> 00:57:29,309
a whole lot more rides on
today's race than a $2 bet.
954
00:57:30,595 --> 00:57:33,597
You ready?
955
00:57:33,598 --> 00:57:36,600
She's ready, but if Jolley
thinks I'm taking her up there
956
00:57:36,601 --> 00:57:38,702
one second before I have to,
957
00:57:38,703 --> 00:57:41,104
he's got his socks on
over his boots.
958
00:57:45,109 --> 00:57:47,211
Thanks.
959
00:57:47,212 --> 00:57:49,680
Colt's on his way.
960
00:57:52,183 --> 00:57:54,685
Well, let's go to the party.
961
00:59:35,219 --> 00:59:37,738
Good afternoon,
ladies and gentlemen,
962
00:59:37,739 --> 00:59:40,524
and welcome to Belmont Park
963
00:59:40,525 --> 00:59:42,626
for the great match race.
964
00:59:42,627 --> 00:59:46,680
The horses will be
on the track momentarily.
965
00:59:52,036 --> 00:59:54,304
Best of luck, Stuart, Barbara.
966
00:59:54,305 --> 00:59:56,173
Lee?
967
00:59:56,174 --> 00:59:58,976
I'll be damned if you didn't pull
it off, Dinny. Have a good race.
968
00:59:58,977 --> 01:00:00,477
Ladies and gentlemen,
969
01:00:00,478 --> 01:00:02,946
here's the field
for the great match race.
970
01:00:02,947 --> 01:00:06,166
Number one is
Locust Hill Farm's Ruffian,
971
01:00:06,167 --> 01:00:10,186
a three-year-old daughter
of Reviewer out of Shenanigans,
972
01:00:10,187 --> 01:00:12,188
trained by Frank Whiteley Jr.
973
01:00:12,189 --> 01:00:15,124
and ridden by Jacinto Vasquez.
974
01:00:15,125 --> 01:00:19,546
Number two is John L. Greer's
Foolish Pleasure.
975
01:00:19,547 --> 01:00:22,949
Foolish Pleasure is a son of What
A Pleasure out of Fool Me Not,
976
01:00:22,950 --> 01:00:25,285
and the trainer
is LeRoy Jolley...
977
01:00:25,286 --> 01:00:27,353
What do you think?
978
01:00:27,354 --> 01:00:30,290
I think she's gonna win.
979
01:00:30,291 --> 01:00:31,858
Me too.
980
01:00:33,010 --> 01:00:35,228
The distance
of the match race...
981
01:00:35,229 --> 01:00:36,863
a mile and a quarter.
982
01:00:38,566 --> 01:00:40,700
Good luck,
Mr. Whiteley.
983
01:00:40,701 --> 01:00:42,535
The horses
for the great match race
984
01:00:42,536 --> 01:00:45,605
will be at the starting gate
in eight minutes.
985
01:01:05,326 --> 01:01:07,761
Would you look at this turnout?
986
01:01:07,762 --> 01:01:09,195
It's great.
987
01:01:09,196 --> 01:01:11,197
Oh, they're all here
for your girl.
988
01:01:11,198 --> 01:01:13,083
Our girl.
989
01:02:29,510 --> 01:02:31,578
Nice to see this place
so packed.
990
01:02:31,579 --> 01:02:34,081
Yeah, it's amazing.
991
01:02:38,086 --> 01:02:41,020
So did Whiteley say anything?
I mean, how's the horse?
992
01:02:41,021 --> 01:02:43,022
Nothing left to say.
993
01:02:43,023 --> 01:02:46,726
Time for them to race.
994
01:03:05,429 --> 01:03:08,699
It is now post time
for the great match race.
995
01:03:08,700 --> 01:03:12,418
The colt and the filly
are ready, the flag is up.
996
01:03:12,419 --> 01:03:13,954
What's up?
997
01:03:18,126 --> 01:03:20,844
They seem very calm.
998
01:03:25,333 --> 01:03:28,134
All set for the start.
999
01:03:38,112 --> 01:03:39,796
And they're off!
1000
01:03:44,485 --> 01:03:45,819
It's Foolish Pleasure
going to the front.
1001
01:03:45,820 --> 01:03:49,805
Ruffian on the inside,
up to challenge.
1002
01:03:57,165 --> 01:03:59,315
Come on.
1003
01:04:14,581 --> 01:04:16,566
Come on, baby.
Come on.
1004
01:04:18,502 --> 01:04:23,273
The first quarter
in 22 and 1/5 seconds.
1005
01:04:54,772 --> 01:04:58,925
Ruffian on the inside, now
gets to the front by a head.
1006
01:04:58,926 --> 01:05:00,227
Go, Ruffian!
1007
01:05:00,228 --> 01:05:01,445
She's beating him.
1008
01:05:01,446 --> 01:05:03,146
She is.
1009
01:05:05,482 --> 01:05:06,666
Come on! Come on!
1010
01:05:06,667 --> 01:05:09,286
Ha-ha-ha!
Come on, baby.
1011
01:05:09,287 --> 01:05:13,089
Those two stride for stride as
they race down the backstretch.
1012
01:05:25,803 --> 01:05:28,505
He's on the outside.
She's at the rail.
1013
01:05:28,506 --> 01:05:31,091
She's in front by half a length. Come on, baby.
1014
01:05:31,092 --> 01:05:34,428
On the outside,
Foolish Pleasure right there.
1015
01:06:24,896 --> 01:06:27,230
Ruffian has broken down!
1016
01:06:27,231 --> 01:06:30,517
Ruffian has broken down!
1017
01:06:34,838 --> 01:06:37,323
Jacinto Vasquez
1018
01:06:37,324 --> 01:06:40,760
using his shoulder to try
and support the filly.
1019
01:06:40,761 --> 01:06:43,029
Come on. Come on.
1020
01:06:48,970 --> 01:06:53,122
First time they throw some speed
at her, she comes unbuckled! Ha-ha!
1021
01:07:00,097 --> 01:07:02,565
Mr. Whiteley, there's still a horse running.
1022
01:07:22,453 --> 01:07:25,255
Please.
1023
01:07:25,256 --> 01:07:27,057
Easy.
1024
01:07:27,058 --> 01:07:31,077
Ruffian has apparently
broken her leg...
1025
01:07:31,078 --> 01:07:36,149
as Foolish Pleasure, the colt,
sails through the stretch.
1026
01:07:36,150 --> 01:07:39,352
The match race is over.
1027
01:07:41,155 --> 01:07:43,823
I didn't want to win like this.
1028
01:07:45,610 --> 01:07:47,310
Whoa, whoa.
1029
01:07:47,311 --> 01:07:49,095
Easy, easy.
You got her?
1030
01:07:53,033 --> 01:07:55,819
Keep her as still as you can.
Keep her calm.
1031
01:07:55,820 --> 01:07:58,554
You're all right, girl.
Keep her calm.
1032
01:08:00,307 --> 01:08:02,375
Keep her still as you can.
1033
01:08:02,376 --> 01:08:05,245
No, don't let her move. Keep
her still. Under the shoulder.
1034
01:08:05,246 --> 01:08:10,133
Oh... oh, this can't be
happening. Whoa, whoa, whoa.
1035
01:08:10,134 --> 01:08:13,887
Jeff, inflatable cast.
Give it to me.
1036
01:08:13,888 --> 01:08:16,823
Easy! Easy!
1037
01:08:19,760 --> 01:08:21,711
Hold her as still as you can. Keep her steady.
1038
01:08:21,712 --> 01:08:23,046
Keep her steady.
1039
01:08:25,566 --> 01:08:28,485
Stuart, I'm so sorry.
1040
01:08:37,261 --> 01:08:39,962
Here, take this.
Take this.
1041
01:08:41,399 --> 01:08:44,000
Hey.
1042
01:08:44,001 --> 01:08:47,303
Here we go. Here we go.
I got you. I got you.
1043
01:08:50,374 --> 01:08:52,808
Come on in.
1044
01:08:52,809 --> 01:08:54,376
Easy.
1045
01:08:56,714 --> 01:08:58,882
Easy.
It's all right.
1046
01:08:58,883 --> 01:09:00,316
It's all right.
1047
01:09:00,317 --> 01:09:02,902
Come on now.
Step her up.
1048
01:09:08,859 --> 01:09:11,144
Easy, girl.
Whoa. Whoa.
1049
01:09:11,145 --> 01:09:12,412
Easy, girl.
1050
01:09:14,098 --> 01:09:15,815
Oh.
1051
01:09:37,388 --> 01:09:40,140
The sesamoids, Frank.
They shattered.
1052
01:09:40,141 --> 01:09:43,075
They exploded right out.
1053
01:09:43,076 --> 01:09:45,411
She got any chance at all?
1054
01:09:46,663 --> 01:09:48,530
Less than 10%.
1055
01:09:55,623 --> 01:09:58,124
I'll do the best I can do.
1056
01:10:35,780 --> 01:10:38,314
Easy, girl. Everything's
gonna be fine.
1057
01:10:38,315 --> 01:10:40,533
Everything's fine.
1058
01:11:03,007 --> 01:11:05,808
It's dropping...
1059
01:11:07,311 --> 01:11:08,777
Here we go.
1060
01:11:08,778 --> 01:11:11,030
She's dropping too far down.
Give her another dose.
1061
01:11:11,031 --> 01:11:13,566
Yes, sir.
1062
01:11:15,769 --> 01:11:18,371
Standing by.
1063
01:11:18,372 --> 01:11:20,106
We're gonna need more 4 by 4s.
1064
01:11:20,107 --> 01:11:22,525
No, no, no. It's too much. She's reacting.
1065
01:11:24,127 --> 01:11:26,028
We're wide open.
1066
01:11:28,682 --> 01:11:30,683
I don't really know.
1067
01:11:35,489 --> 01:11:37,890
That's an improvement.
1068
01:12:25,773 --> 01:12:28,274
Hundreds of fans
have gathered outside
1069
01:12:28,275 --> 01:12:30,777
this small equine hospital
next to Belmont Park,
1070
01:12:30,778 --> 01:12:33,429
waiting for news
of their beloved filly.
1071
01:12:33,430 --> 01:12:35,765
It is nearly six hours
since the tragic accident,
1072
01:12:35,766 --> 01:12:37,767
and these fans continue
to keep their vigil
1073
01:12:37,768 --> 01:12:41,270
on a very hot, very humid
Long Island night.
1074
01:12:41,271 --> 01:12:44,724
We are told the great Ruffian
has been anesthetized,
1075
01:12:44,725 --> 01:12:47,509
and her condition
at the moment is stable.
1076
01:12:47,510 --> 01:12:50,480
I'm certain that the question
on everyone's mind at this point
1077
01:12:50,481 --> 01:12:52,649
is "Will Ruffian survive?"
1078
01:12:52,650 --> 01:12:54,166
Vital side.
1079
01:13:00,457 --> 01:13:03,392
I held her shank,
1080
01:13:03,393 --> 01:13:05,662
and I talked to her
1081
01:13:05,663 --> 01:13:09,315
all the way over
in that ambulance.
1082
01:13:09,316 --> 01:13:13,970
I just talked to her and told
her everything would be all right.
1083
01:13:13,971 --> 01:13:18,107
Just kept on talking.
1084
01:13:18,108 --> 01:13:20,610
What else could I do?
1085
01:13:24,948 --> 01:13:27,266
Mike, pull yourself
together now.
1086
01:13:40,597 --> 01:13:42,548
Flush this.
1087
01:13:56,397 --> 01:14:00,349
There was pigeons on the track.
1088
01:14:00,350 --> 01:14:03,352
Made her miss a step.
1089
01:14:03,353 --> 01:14:05,421
No.
1090
01:14:05,422 --> 01:14:09,058
She clipped the gate.
That's what did it.
1091
01:14:09,059 --> 01:14:11,977
Maybe it was the change
in the track surface
1092
01:14:11,978 --> 01:14:14,197
right out of the chute.
1093
01:14:14,198 --> 01:14:16,299
Could have been.
1094
01:14:24,925 --> 01:14:27,794
There's too many
doctors in there.
1095
01:14:27,795 --> 01:14:30,813
They keep sticking
needles in her.
1096
01:14:40,324 --> 01:14:43,826
Well, she's got the best vets in the country.
1097
01:14:45,229 --> 01:14:48,097
It's up to them now.
1098
01:15:09,770 --> 01:15:11,971
It's been touch and go
for hours, you know?
1099
01:15:18,595 --> 01:15:20,096
Hey.
1100
01:15:20,097 --> 01:15:22,164
Oh, thanks.
1101
01:15:23,600 --> 01:15:27,053
Is it true she was never behind in a race?
1102
01:15:27,054 --> 01:15:30,172
No horse ever came close.
1103
01:15:30,173 --> 01:15:33,609
She wouldn't have
tolerated it. Heh.
1104
01:15:33,610 --> 01:15:35,611
A perfect 10 for 10.
1105
01:15:35,612 --> 01:15:37,113
11.
1106
01:15:37,114 --> 01:15:40,015
She was ahead
when she broke down.
1107
01:15:56,282 --> 01:15:58,985
Yeah, we're all set.
That's fine.
1108
01:16:04,141 --> 01:16:06,642
Here he is.
1109
01:16:06,643 --> 01:16:08,644
Hello.
1110
01:16:08,645 --> 01:16:10,146
Shh, shh, shh.
1111
01:16:10,147 --> 01:16:13,215
So the surgery was a success.
1112
01:16:13,216 --> 01:16:15,418
Ruffian's right foreleg has
been set in a special cast,
1113
01:16:15,419 --> 01:16:17,370
and she's resting comfortably.
1114
01:16:17,371 --> 01:16:20,856
We won't have a full prognosis until
she comes out of the anesthesia.
1115
01:16:20,857 --> 01:16:23,041
Until then,
we'll just have to wait.
1116
01:16:24,678 --> 01:16:27,246
When we know more, we'll let you know. Thank you.
1117
01:16:32,652 --> 01:16:36,622
All right.
Thank you, doctor.
1118
01:17:07,621 --> 01:17:09,905
It's all right, baby.
1119
01:17:20,783 --> 01:17:23,552
It's OK...
1120
01:17:26,322 --> 01:17:28,390
Easy.
1121
01:17:31,562 --> 01:17:34,830
Easy, missy, easy.
1122
01:17:34,831 --> 01:17:36,215
Easy.
1123
01:17:37,450 --> 01:17:39,352
It's OK. Easy.
1124
01:17:43,874 --> 01:17:45,208
Easy, girl.
1125
01:17:49,112 --> 01:17:50,997
Hey, Dan. Mike.
1126
01:17:50,998 --> 01:17:52,781
OK, baby.
1127
01:17:52,782 --> 01:17:54,366
Easy.
1128
01:17:55,919 --> 01:17:56,818
All right.
It's all right.
1129
01:17:56,819 --> 01:17:59,222
Easy, baby.
Come on.
1130
01:17:59,223 --> 01:18:01,473
She thinks she's still running.
Keep her down.
1131
01:18:01,474 --> 01:18:03,643
I got her.
I got you now.
1132
01:18:03,644 --> 01:18:05,394
Ho, girl, ho.
1133
01:18:06,647 --> 01:18:07,863
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
1134
01:18:07,864 --> 01:18:10,016
Keep pressure on her.
Keep her down.
1135
01:18:10,017 --> 01:18:11,901
You're gonna be all right.
1136
01:18:11,902 --> 01:18:15,370
No. Down, girl, down.
Keep her steady. Steady.
1137
01:18:15,371 --> 01:18:19,675
Watch that other leg. Watch the
other leg. I need more hands in here!
1138
01:18:19,676 --> 01:18:22,912
Don't let it hit the other leg. Watch the cast.
1139
01:18:22,913 --> 01:18:25,597
Hold on now. Hold on. Don't let her
- keep it down.
1140
01:18:28,134 --> 01:18:30,036
Keep her down.
Keep pressure on it.
1141
01:18:30,037 --> 01:18:32,538
Whoa, whoa.
Easy, girl.
1142
01:18:32,539 --> 01:18:35,107
No, no, no.
Still, still. Hold her still.
1143
01:18:35,108 --> 01:18:37,043
She's broken her other leg.
1144
01:18:37,044 --> 01:18:38,544
Whoa, girl.
1145
01:18:38,545 --> 01:18:42,515
Keep her still.
Keep her down, down, down.
1146
01:19:03,219 --> 01:19:04,787
Hello?
1147
01:19:06,222 --> 01:19:07,790
Yes, Frank.
1148
01:19:07,791 --> 01:19:10,058
She's broken her other leg.
1149
01:19:10,059 --> 01:19:12,428
Well, it's bad, sir.
1150
01:19:14,014 --> 01:19:16,715
As-As bad
as I ever seen it.
1151
01:19:18,685 --> 01:19:21,721
I don't want her
suffering anymore.
1152
01:19:23,156 --> 01:19:24,623
You go ahead.
1153
01:19:24,624 --> 01:19:26,725
Put her down.
1154
01:19:28,161 --> 01:19:30,229
Yes, sir.
1155
01:21:54,807 --> 01:21:57,709
Go put these on her,
would you, Mike?
1156
01:21:57,710 --> 01:21:59,844
Yes, sir.
1157
01:22:45,741 --> 01:22:48,510
Would she have beaten the colt?
1158
01:22:50,312 --> 01:22:52,280
We'll never know.
1159
01:22:52,281 --> 01:22:55,784
It was a race
to answer all questions,
1160
01:22:55,785 --> 01:22:58,921
and it answered none.
1161
01:23:03,827 --> 01:23:06,929
Well, we better be
getting along.
1162
01:23:13,369 --> 01:23:14,937
Frank.
1163
01:23:16,439 --> 01:23:19,441
I'm... really sorry.
1164
01:23:21,477 --> 01:23:24,363
Well, that's
horse racing, Mr. Nack.
1165
01:23:24,364 --> 01:23:27,433
Just horse racing.
1166
01:23:33,606 --> 01:23:37,108
After Ruffian,
I chose to walk away.
1167
01:23:37,109 --> 01:23:40,746
I could never cover the sport
fulltime again.
1168
01:23:45,935 --> 01:23:48,737
But Frank...
1169
01:23:48,738 --> 01:23:52,324
he went back to the track
the next morning.
1170
01:23:52,325 --> 01:23:55,543
That was Frank for you.
1171
01:24:20,954 --> 01:24:24,656
No one knows why the filly
broke down that afternoon.
1172
01:24:24,657 --> 01:24:27,309
Maybe she took a bad step.
1173
01:24:27,310 --> 01:24:30,062
Horses will do that sometimes.
1174
01:24:33,549 --> 01:24:36,384
But what she left
in her passing
1175
01:24:36,385 --> 01:24:39,838
was a memory far sharper,
1176
01:24:39,839 --> 01:24:44,126
a vision of surpassing
grace and beauty,
1177
01:24:44,127 --> 01:24:47,446
of a soaring poetry in motion
1178
01:24:47,447 --> 01:24:49,514
that was written in hoofbeats
1179
01:24:49,515 --> 01:24:52,468
that ring as clearly today
1180
01:24:52,469 --> 01:24:55,036
as they did then.
