Posted on Friday, April 9th, 2010
Undefeated Personal Ensign, the filly who capped her horse racing career by beating the Kentucky Derby-winning filly Winning Colors in the 1988 Breeders’ Cup Distaff (now renamed to the Breeders’ Cup Ladies’ Classic) by a nose, was found dead in a field for retired broodmares on Thursday morning. She was 26.
Owned by Ogden Phipps and trained by Hall of Famer Shug McGaughey, Personal Ensign won eight Grade 1 races between 1986-88, including six during her 4-year-old campaign alone. In 1988, she captured the Eclipse Award as champion older female.
Her other victories include the 1988 Whitney Handicap at Saratoga–when she beat a field of males by 1 1/2 lengths.
