It’s a big weekend at SAR, but all of the exciting racing is not going to be on Saturday. Friday will also give us a big Grade 1, as the $500.000 Personal Ensign takes place. This is a nine furlong race on the main track for older females and has been won in the past by the likes of Darling Harbour, Mrs Bombastic, and Z Command, among others.
