04/09/2010 -
New York, NY (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Former champion mare Personal Ensign died
Thursday of natural causes at Claiborne Farm in Kentucky. The 1988 Eclipse
Award winner was undefeated in 13 career starts for $1,679,880.
"Personal Ensign was the first Breeders' Cup winner for my grandfather and for
Shug (trainer McGaughey) and she was just a very special horse to everyone in
our family," said Daisy Phipps Pulito. "After her racing career ended, she was
a big part of our broodmare operation. It's a very sad day for all of us."
Her final race was the 1988 Breeders' Cup Distaff at Churchill Downs when she
nosed out Kentucky Derby winner Winning Colors as the 1-2 favorite. Also that
year she beat males in the Whitney Handicap at Saratoga. She was elected into
the Racing Hall of Fame in 1993.
"She was a wonderful filly who overcame injury to win 13 straight races,"
McGaughey said. "She certainly was one of my all-time favorites. She was a
career-maker."
Personal Ensign lived to be 26-years-old and was buried at the Marchmont
Cemetery at Claiborne Farm, where the Phipps family's Easy Goer, Private
Account, Numbered Account and Relaxing are also entombed.
