  • Herman'sKennel · Chad Brown is so proud of this horse, he has such an affection for her, he only wants her to be sound, God Forbid anything ever happen to her on his watch. Did it ever occur to anyone that he truly loves this horse and does not want to take even the slightest chance with her well being? She is in the very best hands and as someone who adores this horse, I thank God for Chad Brown · 61 days ago ·

Shortly after the 2011 Breeders’ Cup, I made my Eclipse Award selections. For most of the categories, I stand by my original selections, but there are a few divisions in which some end-of-the-year races caused me to change my mind.

Congratulations to Stacelita, the Female Turf Champion for 2011.
Congratulations! but now I worry, since she is in Japan as a brood mare, will she suffer the same fate as Ferdinand? I fear this when I hear we sold a horse to Japanese owners!!

  • rorschach1992 · Did he actually state Mission Approved and Dean's Kitten as being some of the best in the WORLD???? MmmHmm. Is he not aware that they both ran on World stages and were absolute non-factors, Mission Approved 14th out of 16 in the Japan Cup and Dean's Kitten 9th and last in the BC Turf. That's really not a glowing recommendation for Cape Blanco. · 133 days ago ·

  • Floridaf · I think I agree with all of your picks, though I find it hard to pick an Eclipse winner in the Female Turf division. Perfect Shirl's only win was the BC F&M Turf; Stacelita had two G1 wins and a 3rd in a G1 with open company; and Dubawi Heights had a G3 and a G1. I think you picked the best of the bunch, though, giving Stacelita the the trophy. · 140 days ago ·

  • rorschach1992 · *Grade 1 Pacific Classic, sorry but I just have to correct that as it is CA's only $1 million race, and very few $1 million races for older horses outside the BC. Regards to the Amazombie debate, ridiculous to even suggest he's not the clear choice. Sprints for me personally end at 7f. Mile doesn't constitute a sprint. Amazombie won 2 G1 sprints Ancient Title and BC, plus had a good year winning the Sunshine Million Sprint, G2 Potrero Grande, and Tiznow at 7.5f. And he won the L.A. Handicap, horrific DQ that one was. Plus there were more than enough G1 winners in the Sprint. Amazombie = 2011 Champ Sprinter. Now this whole Turf Male, ultimately I think it may very well go to Cape Blanco, but agreed he's certainly not a lock. Acclamation is definitely in the running, and will at the very least be a finalist. Its too bad they couldn't settle it at the BC. But if Acclamation doesn't get this, he's also in the running for Champ Older Male, that's where, in addition to his turf record, his Pacific Classic win earns him big points. · 161 days ago ·

  • DeadHeat · annmatt, HDG could get 10f plenty fine, and I'm sorry, BL was not even close to a shoe in after her last race, and would not have been because of her two losses prior. FO who won at 10f finished behind HDG in the Classic, and I heard people just yelling about the fact that with one extra furlong he would catch her...how did that work? HDG does not seem to run her best over Churchill. She did not have an overly impressive work over the track this year and still finished well. Trying to say what could have been will drive anyone mad. BL is a great horse, but did not have it this season plain and simple. HDG should not get a minus becase her two losses to BL at 10f were by a neck and a whisker. You don't take off because she beat her at a shorter distance. If you do that then you might as well take off BL for beating her at a distance longer than 9f. The score was 1-1, even. It goes to the horse who did the most, Grace. · 197 days ago ·

  • gocashking · Amazombie, by finishing the year with big wins in the Ancient Title and BC Sprint is a no brainer for the Sprint Champion Eclipse. It won't even be close. There's no way 7F and 8F wins will be rated higher than those two wins at the "traditional" sprint distance of 6F. Caling Flashpoint "brilliant" is also a bit of a stretch, I think. · 196 days ago ·
