What a gutsy filly and a heart-pounding duel between her and Curlin down the stretch. The race is here if anyone would like to watch.

She is also the first filly ever to win the Belmont at that length. It used to be a shorter race.

How fitting a filly would win it on the day that the movie, Ruffian, premiered on TV.
