The first book on the undefeated champion race mare Personal Ensign.
A racehorse who achieves a perfect record is a rarity, but to do so at the highest levels of the sport is even more rare. It takes a special horse to do that. Personal Ensign is such an animal. She ended her career undefeated in 13 starts and earned more than $1.6 million.
But Personal Ensign’s path to perfection was not an easy one. She had to overcome a broken ankle at the age of two to return better and stronger than before. She had to face and beat males. Her defining moment, however, came in her final career start when she came from behind to win the 1988 Breeders’ Cup Distaff by a desperate nose over the Kentucky Derby-winning filly Winning Colors.
