Ruffian (The Great Match) Posted by: oktahahorses
Video duration: 339 seconds I hadn't planned on doing a Ruffian video, since member carlykaiser already did one to this song of mine. However, while researching Ruffian as a possible song subject, I collected a lot of video clips, and it would seem a waste not to use them. This is a slightly shorter version of the song as well, since it has fewer instrumental breaks.

Barbaro - Be It Known Posted by: oktahahorses
Video duration: 366 seconds I started writing a song about Barbaro during the recent Oklahoma ice storm when my power was out for 11 days. At that time, Barbaro was still alive, and like a lot of other people, was now sure he was going to make it. Unfortunately, that all changed a week later. Sadly, I had to start reworking the lyrics to reflect that. It is now complete, and I hope meets with approval from his many fans.

One Bad Ass Posted by: oktahahorses
Video duration: 225 seconds This one is based on a story that's been circulating the internet about a mule that killed a mountain lion. The story was first sent to me in January, 2005. Three days later, I wrote down this song. Related: ass, funny, horse, horses, humor, humorous, hunting, jackass, lion, mountain, mule, song, story |

Video duration: 187 seconds Ruffian claimed the filly triple crown by winning the Coaching Club American Oaks. She equalled the stakes record. Sadly, this would be her last complete race before the great match race. Related: american, club, coaching, crown, filly, horse, horses, oaks, race, racing, ruffian, thoroughbred, triple |

The Parson and Dan Patch Posted by: oktahahorses
Video duration: 598 seconds Dan Patch was a famous Pacer (harness horse) at the peak of his popularity a century ago. His name became a household word partly because of his owner, Marion Willis Savage, aka "The Parson." They shared a sucessful partnership in life, and died one day apart.

Lost In The Fog (Oh How That Pony Could Run) Posted by: oktahahorses
Video duration: 250 seconds The title pretty much says it all. Related: fog, in, lost, race, racing, remembered, song, story, the, thoroughbred, tribute |

Ruffian, her first race Posted by: oktahahorses
Video duration: 78 seconds The track cameras malfunctioned on this one, so there is no soundtrack, and the film ends before she crosses the finish line. However, in a sign of the great things to come, she won her first race by 15 lengths, and set a new track record for that distance.

Billy Silver Posted by: oktahahorses
Video duration: 161 seconds Billy who? Billy Silver was the Appaloosa marked pony horse for most of Secretariat's races. Having owned Appaloosas myself since 1974, I wanted to do at least one song that featured one, and he seemed like the kind of high profile figure I was looking for. Fortunately, some pictures exist. Unfortunately, information about him is almost non-existant. Related: appaloosa, billy, horse, horses, music, pony, race, racing, ridge, riva, secretariat, silver, song, story, thoroughbred |

Cecil Plays Ball Posted by: oktahahorses
Video duration: 177 seconds OK, this isn't a story song, but an old video I added a simple repeating instrumental to that I borrowed from another project. This is "Cecil" having some fun with a Jolly Ball. Related: appaloosa, ball, horse, horseplay, humorous, jolly, jollyball |

Ruffian Spinaway Stakes Posted by: oktahahorses
Video duration: 89 seconds This is from my collection of research material. I tried to brighten up the picture and clean up the sound as best I could on this rather worn out tape. This is the race Lucien Lauren had watched and was widely quoted afterwards about Ruffian possibly being better than Secretariat.

Ruffian breaks down Posted by: oktahahorses
Video duration: 28 seconds I was asked if I would post this, though not everyone may be able to watch it. This is the point in the match race where Ruffian breaks down, complete with the track call.
