Ruffian Movie is on

[paisjpq]

I thought it was pretty bad overall...Sam Shepard was great (but really when isn't he)...like Riot the horses bothered me, they all had kind of rough coats and just didn't look the part...the CSI-style graphic depiction of her leg snapping was over the top IMO, but perhaps Riot is right in that it paints a clearer picture to the general public....who knows, I just know that I didn't need to see it.
but I also think that racing needs any and all coverage it can get and I hope millions watched.

I DID love all the old newsreel footage of the real Ruffian that they showed at the end...that was great.
