The contest between the record-breaking three-year-old filly Ruffian, winner in all ten of her starts and holder of the filly's Triple Crown for 1975, and the Kentucky Derby-winning colt Foolish Pleasure was a perfect Him v. Her extravaganza for the 50,764 people at Belmont and for millions watching on CBS, which put up $350,000 to televise the event. Then...
