My Flag

My Flag won four Grade 1 stakes races during her three years of racing, the biggest being the 1995 Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies. Her victory, coming from off the pace on a muddy race track to collar the second-place finisher at the wire, was strikingly similar to Personal Ensign's 1988 Breeders' Cup Distaff triumph. My Flag collected three more G1 victories during her three-year-old campaign in 1996, in which she captured the Ashland Stakes, the Coaching Club American Oaks,^[2] and the Gazelle Handicap. She also finished a very credible third against males in that year's Belmont Stakes.^[3]

My Flag was retired to broodmare services at Claiborne Farm after an undistinguished four-year-old campaign in 1997.

Much like Personal Ensign, My Flag has achieved great success as a broodmare. Her first foal is the graded stakes-placed Storm Cat filly, On Parade, which is the dam of multiple graded-stakes winner Parading. Her second foal, another Storm Cat filly named Storm Flag Flying, won the 2002 Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies and was honored as that year's Champion Two-Year-Old Filly. She is also the dam of stakes-winning filly With Flying Colors and a stakes-placed colt named Leading The Parade, both sired by A.P. Indy.
