Ruffian Movie accurate
As one who has worked for 20 years in horse racing with some time on the backstretch, I found this movie to be very accurate - especially in the depiction of the personal relationships between the jockey's, trainers and backstretch workers.

I was quite pleased with this movie and its accuracy until the scene with the match race, Ruffian vs. Foolish Pleasure.

Ruffian A Hit
I thought the movie Ruffian was very well done. I frankly enjoyed it more than Seabiscuit. It was much more accurate.
