Claiborne Farm posted a collection of photos to social media Sept. 1, documenting the arrival and burial of the remains of Hall of Fame racehorse Ruffian at the legendary Paris, Ky., horse farm.
Late last month her remains were transported from the base of the flagpole near the finish line at Belmont Park, where she had been buried since her death in 1975. Ruffian's remains join others at Claiborne's Marchmont Cemetery, the final resting place of many prominent sires, racehorses, and broodmares.
The move was needed as the New York Racing Association is beginning the installation of a one-mile synthetic track.
