She was a great race mare.
According to a DRF story "The Lady in Red" written by T.D. Thornton from 1/2/14:
"The most colossal example of bridge jumping occurred at Belmont Park on Sept. 16, 1995, when indomitable favorites Inside Information (Ruffian Handicap) and Cigar (Woodward Stakes) combined to create $628,403 in minus pools."
I believe $3.2 million was bet to show on Inside Information. This is the largest bridge jumping bet I've ever witnessed.
