The classiest mare I ever saw. The call of the Breeders Cup Distaff final 1/16th stretch is still one of my ringtones.

What a bummer.

She definitely left behind a bunch of decent runners who should carry her name on in pedigrees for years to come.

Unhappy Perfection!

I was very fortunate to see her at Saratoga in the summer of '88. She beat Gulch & King's Swan in the Whitney Stakes. Although it was only a 3 horse field, she beat two of the best colts at the time.....R.I.P. Personal Ensign......you were the best!
