Have you ever examined the charts and figured what numbers Ruffian would\'ve gotten?  Or similarly ever made a \"Top 10 Fillies\" of all time, based on your numbers?  A slideshow at Sports Illustrated (ludicrously placing Rags to Riches as #6 Filly of All-Time) made me wonder.  Thanks.

When I first started with TG in the late 80\'s, I asked this same question to Julian Weinberg, who was selling sheets and doing TG seminars in L.A.  His response - not as good as you might think, and look what happened to her the first time she had to run.

From memory, her RAG figs were not that fast,think like 6\'s(TG 2.5\'s)If anyone has Beyers for Ruffian, I can give you an idea of what her TG/RAGS figs would have looked like assuming JB/Beyer/Rags were in general agreement.

Unlike male monsters of the past like Dr.Fager and Secretariat, who would swallow today\'s runners, not sure how Ruffian would stack up vs Rachel,Zenyatta et al.

Foolish Pleasure was working incredibly fast before the match race, it would have taken an out of worldly effort to beat him that day.
