A Personal First

“Ogden Phipps' Personal Ensign produced her first foal, a Mr Prospector colt, on Feb. 15 at Claiborne Farm (Seth Hancock, president) near Paris, Ky. Champion older distaffer of 1988, Personal Ensign retired unbeaten in 13 starts in her career after she won the Breeder’s Cup Distaff (gr. I).
