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.

Watching her win the BC Distaff in '88 is one of my favorite racing memories.

Rest In Peace, old gal.

The BC race was one of the all-time greatest races, concluding one of the all-time greatest careers.

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!

anyone who was a fan of this great horse knew that this time was drawing near. sadly, none of them last forever. i saw earlier that she had passed, but i shoved the news away til i got home. those of us who had the distinct pleasure in watching her run got to see an incredibly rare sight-i 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. then, she added to her amazing race record by becoming a fantastic broodmare. thankfully she left a living legacy behind, and her descendants will carry on that lineage. anyone looking for another like her most likely will never find one.
