Background

edit

Princessnesian was a bay mare bred and raced by William Haggin Perry.

Racing career

edit

In 1968 the four-year-old mare became only the third female to win the Gold Cup, joining Happy Issue (1944) and Two Lea (1952).[1]

Breeding record

edit

Retired to broodmare service, Princessnesian was bred to prominent stallions including Buckpasser, Bold Ruler, Hail To Reason, Hoist The Flag, and Nijinsky. None of her foals achieved anything more than modest success in racing[2] but her daughter Bold Enchantress produced the Group 1 winner Fordham.
