In 1972, Shenanigans foaled her most famous progeny: a brown filly by Reviewer named Ruffian. [2] This tall, almost jet black filly destroyed track and stakes records for two seasons before she broke down in a match race against Kentucky Derby winner Foolish Pleasure. Many claim that Ruffian's tragic end was a product of her breeding.
Ruffian was foaled in Reviewer's first crop. [4] The filly was euthanized in 1975 following surgery to repair a broken leg sustained in a race. Reviewer himself broke three legs during his career before being retired to stud; he suffered a fourth broken leg in a paddock accident at Claiborne Farm and was subsequently euthanized.
