Personal Ensign, the undefeated champion mare owned by the Phipps family in the 1980s, was away from the races for almost a year after fracturing a hind pastern in the fall of her 2-year-old season. All she did was win the final 11 races of her career, seven of which were Grade 1 stakes.
"I would say this is something she can come back 110 percent from," Pletcher said Monday morning. "I don't know what Personal Ensign's fracture was like, but I'm sure this one is less significant than that one."
It seems there is hope to be had.
