Undefeated in her first ten races, Ruffian is fast on her way to becoming one of the most successful thoroughbreds in horse racing 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 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.
