Numbered Account (1969–1996) was an American Thoroughbred racehorse who was voted the American Champion Two-Year-Old Filly of 1971.[1] She was bred and raced by Ogden Phipps and trained by Roger Laurin.[2]
On May 19, 1971, Numbered Account set a Fashion Stakes record of 0:57 2/5 for five furlongs on dirt at Aqueduct Racetrack.[3] On October 22, 1972, in winning the Spinster Stakes she equaled the Keeneland track record of 1:47 2/5 for 1 1/8 miles (9 furlongs) on dirt set by Round Table in 1957.[4]
Numbered Account retired in 1974 after three years in racing having won fourteen of her twenty-two starts and $607,048. She was sent to broodmare duty at Claiborne Farm near Paris, Kentucky. Of her best foals, she was the dam of Grade 1 winners Dance Number (by Northern Dancer) and Private Account (by Damascus) who sired Personal Ensign.[5] She also appears twice in the pedigree of 2014 Kentucky Derby winner California Chrome.[6]
