[quote=Danzig;63405i know i enjoyed every one of her races as she achieved perfection. her distaff win over winning colors was one of the best races ever, with an awesome finish by a horse who simply refused to lose. [/QUOTE]

not only was her distaff win amazing, she had to close that gap in the slop. imagine, a time when they did not care about the weather. it was part of the game, breeders cup or not. they just don't breed them like they used to. half of the jugheads today would of had to scratch their horse or be making excuses after the fact. or they want to run at same place every year, to avoid getting wet....go figure

And she achieved much of her accomplishments running on a leg held together with screws--a remarkable mare and story ...

Many of us held our collective breaths every time she ran because of that, fearing what might happen. Her retirement after the BC Distaff came as something of a relief.

Super post.

I only saw her run on television.

But, I did tune in when I knew she would be there.

26 seems so young for A Champion.

Even in horse years.

Pretty awesome of NYRA to take the time to do this..

Her racetrack accomplishments were obviously excellent, and it is also cool that unlike many champions she had a nice breeding career as well (broodmare of the year one year I believe). She was always one of my favorites.

Personal Ensign's grandson runs today in The Bluegrass. Could be an omen

Why? Is he named Damian?
