1995 Ruffian Handicap Inside Information

In the Ruffian, there was another virtuoso performance. Inside Information took the lead by the time they had gone half a mile, extended it to five lengths by the time they had run another quarter of a mile, widened it to eight lengths in the stretch and won by 11 over Unlawful Behavior and Incinerate. • It was the filly's sixth victory in seven starts for the team of Ogden Mills Phipps and Shug McGaughey, and the 12th in 15 starts in her career. She has never finished out of the money, and she seems the equal of her stablemate, the champion Heavenly Prize. They will have to duke it out in the Breeders' Cup Distaff against Serena's Song, unless Heavenly Prize runs against colts in the Classic. • Inside Information ran the mile and a sixteenth in 1:404/5 , and did it toting 125 pounds, which was 14 to 18 more than her five rivals carried. She also paid $2.20 for a $2 bet to win and went home with $120,000. Her next performance will be in the Spinster at Keeneland, and then the Breeders' Cup. • I don't want to run in any more handicaps, McGaughey said, sounding relieved. I can't lift that kind of weight anymore. • http://www.nytimes.com/1995/09/17/spo...
