Champions live forever.

Academy Award nominee Sam Shepard stars in the extraordinary true story of the greatest filly racehorse of all time, Ruffian. Undefeated in her first ten races, Ruffian is fast on her way to becoming one of the most successful thoroughbreds in horse history. Yet as the two-year-old's reputation continues to grow, so does the pressure to enter her in a one-on-one match against the 1975 Kentucky Derby-winning colt, Foolish Pleasure. Despite the growing concerns of her trainer Frank Whiteley (Shepard), Ruffian takes off on what will be the most momentous race of her life, a neck-and-neck "battle of the sexes," that only the best horse can win.
