My Flag (March 25, 1993 – April 12, 2014) was an American Thoroughbred racehorse. She was one of the leading American fillies of her generation, winning the Coaching Club American Oaks and finishing third against colts in the Belmont Stakes in 1996. My Flag was euthanized April 12, 2014, at age of 21, due to foaling complications for her bay colt by Bernardini.

My Flag won four Grade 1 stakes races during her three years of racing, the biggest being the 1995
My Flag was retired to broodmare services at Claiborne Farm after an undistinguished four-year-old campaign in 1997.
Broodmare career
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.
