What the Nation is saying about the 2011 Personal Ensign Stakes (G1)...

Proving her score at 18-1 in the Ruffian Invitational Handicap on July 31 was no fluke, 6-year-old mare Ask the Moon notched her second Grade 1 victory of the Saratoga meet, leading from start to finish Saturday in the $300,000 Personal Ensign Invitational. Read More

  • footlick · The 6 furlong split was faster than the Woodward, so either she went too fast or they were going slow early in the Woodward, depending on how you view the races. · 628 days ago ·

  • annmatt · I would love for Marty Wolfson to get hold of Rapid Redux to see if he couldn't rise in class...RR certainly has a very nice pedigree that suggests he should have been able to rise above the claiming ranks. · 628 days ago ·

What a difference a few days didn’t make.   When the Grade 1, $300,000 Personal Ensign Invitational was redrawn on Wednesday after being postponed this past Sunday, the same tough band of fillies and mares had been signed up to compete.   The Personal Ensign now joins the Grade 1, $250,000...Read More

Ask the Moon, the 2-1 morning-line favorite for the Grade 1, $300,000 Personal Ensign on Sunday at Saratoga Race Course, reminds trainer Martin Wolfson a lot of another top-shelf winner he had, Jessica Is Back.   Both mares were claims by trainer Gary Contessa for Farnsworth Stables and soon se...Read More

Fox Hill Farms’ star 4-year-old filly Havre de Grace worked five furlongs in 59.60 on Wednesday morning at Delaware Park under jockey Gabe Saez in preparation for a run either in the Grade 1, $300,000 Personal Ensign on August 28 or the Grade 1, $750,000 Woodward against males on September 3.  ...Read More
One of the most compelling rivalries in sports could see its next chapter unfold at Saratoga on August 28 in the Grade 1 Personal Ensign for fillies and mares. Read More

  • bornstar · Put em in with the males so we can see just how good these males are. I think either BL or HDG will take em. · 654 days ago ·

  • xMystix · I agree with TimSmith. They have already met each other six times. It is time to see them go against the boys. What's to lose? The older male division is very lackluster (again) this year. Might as well try. It will add even more excitement come Breederscup. · 653 days ago ·

Horse racing needs rivalries. It attracts fans and media attention, which is always great for the sport. Two weeks ago on July 16, 2011, at Delaware Park, Blind Luck met up with Havre de Grace for the sixth time in their careers in what has become one of horse racing’s top rivalries. Here’s their st...Read More

  • timgsmith10 · How can you say 1 has had a stronger career than the other yet? The season is half finished and maybe one or the other continues to race next year? As of right now HDG and B.L are VERY close in form and I wouldnt be surprised if HDG turns the tables at least 1 more time. And this realistically it will only make the rivalry stronger. · 661 days ago ·

  • footlick · They do seem evenly matched to me. Even though Blind Luck has come out on top more, not much really separates them. Blind Luck may be a little more impressive because she is not as tactical and it is always more difficult for the less tactical horse to win, but still there is not much difference between them as far as I'm concerned. · 661 days ago ·

  • KyOaksRunner · I'm all for the Personal Ensign. A re-match with Blind Luck is far more exciting to me than seeing her against the males in the Woodward when none of them have proven to be standouts this year. · 672 days ago ·

  • DeadHeat · I think both would be equally as exciting. I mean, it was exciting when RA attemped to do it even though many were of the thought the older division was softer than normal and she had already faced males twice. If the Whitney results are formal the Woodward would not by any means be any easier than the PE. · 672 days ago ·

A few days after last Saturday’s Delaware Handicap "grudge match" between Blind Luck and Harve de Grace, in which Blind Luck edged her rival by a nose at the wire, there are rumors NYRA may double the purse of the Aug. 28 Personal Ensign Stakes at Saratoga. That would increase the stakes from the pr...Read More
