In 2007, the Ballerina winner Maryfield went on to win the first running of the Filly & Mare Sprint. Recent winners of the Ballerina have included Serengetti Empress, Come Dancing and Marley's Freedom. The Personal Ensign is named after the Hall of Fame filly who won the 1988 Breeders' Cup Distaff. Now, the Personal Ensign Stakes is a "Win and You're In" for the Breeders' Cup Distaff. There have been two horses who've won the Personal Ensign Stakes and then went on to win the Breeders' Cup Distaff: Forever Unbridled (2017) and Beautiful Pleasure (1999). Source
