The Eclipse Awards finalists (in alphabetical order) are:

• Horse of the Year: Rachel Alexandra, Zenyatta

She ran eight times and won them all against her own division and 3 yr.old colts and 3 and up colts on six different race tracks. She had two trainers and is a remarkable horse. Zenyatta was remarkable. She was 5 for 5 on plastic tracks. Beat older horses in the Breeders Cup. She did come east once to run in the Louisville Handicap on Oaks day but scratched because she didn't like the off track. By the time the race ran, the track was listed as fast.  And almost everybody knew the track would be fast by race time because of the way the weather was and the type of track Churchill has.

• Two-Year-Old Male: Lookin At Lucky, Noble’s Promise, Vale of York (IRE)
• Two-Year-Old Filly: Blind Luck, Hot Dixie Chick, She Be Wild

She won two Grade I's and came back after a troubled trip in the Breeders Cup to win very easy at Hollywood. And, she is by first year sire Pollard's Vision (which we have a share in).

• Three-Year-Old Male: Mine That Bird, Quality Road, Summer Bird

He won the Belmont, the Travers and The  Jockey Club and also we have a mare in foal to Birdstone.

• Three-Year-Old Filly: Careless Jewel, Flashing, Rachel Alexandra
• Older Male: Einstein (BRZ), Gio Ponti, Kodiak Kowboy

I also like Einstein, but going with Gio Ponit because he finished a bang up second in the Breeders Cup.

• Older Female: Life Is Sweet, Music Note, Zenyatta
• Male Sprinter: Dancing in Silks, Kodiak Kowboy, Zensational

 • Female Sprinter: Informed Decision, Music Note, Ventura
• Male Turf Horse: Conduit (IRE), Gio Ponti, Presious Passion

Frankel's last champion.

Who did the most with less.
• Breeder: Adena Springs, Juddmonte Farms, Dolphus C. Morrison

He bred the horse of a lifetime.

• Trainer: Steve Asmussen, Bob Baffert, John Shirreffs

Can not understand why Jonathan Shepherd isn't in this group.

He won the most with the least mounts.

He rode at Churchill for a month this spring and at that time he couldn't speak three words of english.
