SECOND HORSE OF THE YEAR TITLE FOR 'CHROME'By Jeremy Balant @BH_JBalan

Any time a horse is honored with the title Horse of the Year, he or she joins elite company.

But California Chrome's second Horse of the Year honor—awarded to his connections Jan. 21 at Gulfstream Park—uniquely situates the chestnut in the history of the game.

Plenty of previous horses have earned multiple Horse of the Year awards—11 (since 1936, when awards became official), to be exact—but only two before California Chrome won in non-consecutive years.

The fleeting nature of the sport, which often sees youthful horses retire before full maturity, does not lend itself to horses finding top form in non-consecutive years.

But the California-bred son of Lucky Pulpit, who has captured so many hearts, is now in the company of Hall of Fame runners Native Dancer (1952 and 1954) and John Henry (1981 and 1984) as those who have sustained excellence enough to be considered the best horse in the country at significantly different stages of their careers.

California Chrome received 202 first-place votes for 2016 Horse of the Year. Juddmonte Farms' champion 3-year-old Arrogate finished second with 40 votes, Fox Hill Farms' outstanding 3-year-old filly Songbird finished third with five votes, and Michael Tabor, Mrs. John Magnier, and Derrick Smith's Highland Reel received one vote.

In his 2014 Horse of the Year season, California Chrome took horse racing by storm. The unassuming colt tore through Southern California's Triple Crown preps, then made his bid to end the Triple Crown drought with victories in the Kentucky Derby Presented by Yum! Brands and Preakness Stakes, before running fourth in the Belmont Stakes (all G1). His only other victory that year was on grass in the Hollywood Derby (G1T), but it was enough to secure him the top honor in North American racing.

As impressive as he was during his 3-year-old season, the physical specimen that returned to trainer Art Sherman's barn at Los Alamitos Race Course late in 2015 after a disappointing spring and summer was a different horse in mental maturity and physical stature.

One legend passes another after California Chrome’s final work

"He's significantly larger than he was when he was a 3-year-old," Sherman said upon California Chrome's arrival in November 2015, after an extended turn out at Taylor Made Farm. "He looks great. ... It's going to be a challenge to get him back to his peak, but there's a chance he could be a better horse. You just don't know. If he's better, he's going to be an awesome horse next year."

The veteran conditioner's comment was prescient. For much of the year, "awesome" was an apt description.

Back under the care of Sherman and his son, Alan, California Chrome began his 2016 campaign with a serviceable win in the San Pasqual Stakes (G2), his first start in more than nine months.

Then came his trip to Dubai, where he ran second in the Dubai World Cup Sponsored by Emirates Airline (G1) in 2015, which was the final start of his derailed 4-year-old season. California Chrome easily won his handicap prep for the World Cup. Then came the main event. With the richest purse in the world on the line, the fully developed 5-year-old was wide throughout, and even though his saddle slipped nearing the wire, still humbled the field en route to a clear victory.

Back at home in Southern California, he got a stiff challenge in another big-race prep. In the San Diego Handicap (G2) at Del Mar, California Chrome shadowed the hulking Dortmund in the backstretch and inched ahead in the final turn, but he could not fully turn away his rival. The duo battled to the wire in a stretch run to remember, but it was the smaller chestnut who came up a half-length on top.

In the big race at Del Mar, however, there would

be no challengers. In one of the most anticipated matchups in Pacific Classic (G1) history, California Chrome set the pace under regular jockey Victor Espinoza and defeated fellow champion Beholder, as well as Dortmund, in an absolute rout. The winning margin at the wire was five lengths, but it might as well have been 10 ahead of one of the best racemares in recent history, who had similarly romped in the Pacific Classic a year before. Espinoza gave California one tap of the whip at the eighth pole just to make sure, but geared his mount down to a gallop in the final strides.

In California Chrome's next start, the Awesome Again Stakes (G1), Dortmund served as runner-up. However, another Bob Baffert stablemate played spoiler in the Breeders' Cup Classic (G1). Upstart Arrogate, who in his previous start ran the fastest Travers Stakes (G1) in history, wore down the front-running California Chrome in the stretch to snatch away the Classic and the seven-time grade/group I winner's undefeated season.

Arrogate may have defeated California Chrome, but his rival's full résumé ultimately won out.

"You're around a lot of good horses—like Kelso and all of them—that stood up at an older age and you wonder, could he be like that?" Sherman pondered one morning, after watching California Chrome work at Los Alamitos. "I think, to me, he's outstanding. But could he be an all-time great? Like Secretariat, or John Henry—could you put him in the same category?"

The horse who won the last stakes race at Hollywood Park as a 2-year-old in 2013 had more in store for Sherman, but on that morning the question hung in the crisp winter air. There was no answer, and there is truly no clear answer when comparing the all-time greats. What is clear is that California Chrome provided a rare occurrence in horse racing—a first act of brilliance and a second act where he came back even better. BH

FINAL ACT: CALIFORNIA CHROME SIZZLES IN LAST WORKBy Alicia Wincze Hughest @BH_AHughes

The mood around Barn 2 on the Gulfstream Park backstretch

the morning of Jan. 21 was that of a class reunion.

Old friends gathered—swapping memories, hugs, posing for pictures. There were tales of fantastical nature being told as they all came wanting to share a moment, an experience, a memory about the fiery chestnut horse pulling exercise rider Dihigi Gladney around the shedrow.

About the only figure seemingly unaffected by the sentimentality of the moment was said chestnut himself. For champion California Chrome, the fact he was stepping onto the track for the last timed workout of his storied career was something beyond his comprehension. With his blinkers affixed and Gladney playing the role of statue in the irons, the 2014 Horse of the Year put his head down and just did his usual thing, snatching the breath away from those who came to enjoy him while they can.

California Chrome's final move before he makes his final start—in the $12 million Pegasus World Cup Invitational Stakes (G1) Jan. 28—was par for the course where the 6-year-old son of Lucky Pulpit is concerned: he ripped through five furlongs in :58 4/5 easy as he pleased.

As the lone horse on the Gulfstream track, as was the case a week ago, when the champion

drilled the same distance in 1:00.72, California Chrome left nothing on the table while readying to face a Pegasus field that is expected to include his Breeders' Cup Classic (G1) conqueror Arrogate. With his ears pricked the entire way and Gladney sitting chilly, North America's all-time leading money earner clicked off splits of :23.66 and :35.12, with a gallop out in 1:12.41.

"I said if he went in a minute and galloped out in :13 I'd be happy," trainer Art Sherman said shortly after the move. "He's ready. That was an awesome work. I thought the work was sensational. I really did. It was cruise control, we hardly ever press him to do anything. He was under hand and we were just very satisfied with the work."

The wistful but proud gleam in Sherman's eyes has been a permanent look for the venerable horseman of late. With California

Chrome's career reaching its last few moments before he retires to stud at Taylor Made Farm, his entire team has spent about as much time reflecting on the seven-time grade/group 1 winner as they have getting him set to attempt to avenge his Breeders' Cup defeat.

"You know, I'm really happy that Chrome is what he is," said Alan Sherman, son and top assistant to Art Sherman. "He deserves to go out and breed some mares. He doesn't have anything else to prove. I'm just glad I was able to train him for all this time. The races we've won, the places he's brought us... the whole ride has just been amazing.

"People like (Hall of Fame jockey) Walter Blum came and saw my dad this morning and they rode together 50 years ago. It's just been great. It's fun, but it is bittersweet."

And it can still get better.The rematch with Arrogate is something Art

Sherman has been openly craving since his charge got caught by his big-striding rival in deep stretch of the Breeders' Cup Classic, the only loss California Chrome suffered from eight starts in 2016.

When asked what needs to happen for California Chrome to reverse that outcome Jan. 28, Sherman joked, "Just run faster." For all the nostalgia being tossed around the shedrow, however, those whose job it is to keep tabs on the copper-coated beast are dead serious when they say he continues to unleash new levels of improvement, even as he closes in on calling it a career.

"I think that was the best work I've ever seen him do," said Frank Taylor of Taylor Made Farm, which co-owns California Chrome along with Perry Martin and other partners. "The way he did it... I knew it when I saw him this morning. He just looked like he was a balloon blowing up. It's amazing. He knows when he's getting ready to work and he just explodes. I think he's really ready for this race."

One of the most common questions Taylor gets asked these days is if the door is open just a crack for California Chrome to remain in training for all of 2017. With 120 mares already booked, according to Taylor, that last bit of hope is now closed.

None of that is a concern for the specimen who is favored to earn 2016 Horse of the Year honors. As California Chrome cooled out in good order and posed for every click of the camera his ears caught, it was clear it is still business as usual in the world as he knows it.

"I've never seen so many people love this horse the way they do with him," Art Sherman said. "I think after he's gone and he's in the breeding shed, then we can look back and see all the plaques in my barn from all the big races. That will mean something." BH

"He's so smart, I think he could read."— Co-own-er Frank Taylor on 2016 Horse of the Year

California Chrome"We talk to our horses in Mandarin and English, so

they are bilingual."— Susan Chu of Baoma Corporation, owners of champion male sprinter Drefong

"She's been outstanding, and the only thing she ever wants in return is a peppermint."— Owner Robert Masterson on two-time champion grass mare Tepin

"We're all very fortunate. When we get a great horse, they make us look good. She's the one I want to thank the most"— Eric Kruljac on Finest City's win for champion female sprinter

"We also appreciate the slow flat horses that become jumpers."— Diane Naylor, owner of champion steeplechaser Rawnaq with husband Irvin Naylor

WINSTAR COLLECTS FIRST ECLIPSE AS BREEDERBy Eric Mitchellt @BH_EMitchell

WinStar Farm’s efforts to expand the quality and scope of its stallion roster and broodmare band

paid big dividends in 2016, with the operation’s first Eclipse Award as leading breeder.

Kenny Troutt’s 2,400-acre farm near Versailles, Ky., topped the breeders’ standings by earnings with $10,516,427; by number of graded stakes wins with 15; and by number of overall wins with 239. The farm had a 17% win rate and had its farm-bred runners finish in the money 43% of the time.

WinStar has regularly ranked among the top 10 North American breeders since 2010 and been among the top five every year since 2012. In 2016 the operation was represented by a deep bench of quality runners, breeding 17 black-type stakes winners for the year—led by Breeders' Cup Mile (G1T) winner Tourist. The son of Tiznow raced for co-owners WinStar, Gary Barber, and Wachtel Stable, and entered stud at WinStar this year.

WinStar’s other grade 1 winners were Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf victress New Money Honey, and Constellation, who won the La Brea Stakes. Other graded stakes winners include Calgary Cat, Cyrus Alexander, Flexibility, Good Samaritan, Nonna Mela, and Stanford.

First-place votes from members of the consolidated voting entities: WinStar Farm (164); Clearsky Farms (62); Juddmonte Farms (4); Darley (3); Perry Martin and Steve Coburn (3); Adena Springs (2); Kenneth and Sarah Ramsey (1); Machmer Hall (1). Voter abstentions: 8. BH

LEADING OWNER HONORS TO JUDDMONTEBy Lenny Shulman

Prince Khalid Abdullah’s Juddmonte Farms enjoyed an excellent 2016 North American season, earning

outstanding owner honors for the year. Despite Judd-monte’s runners making just 100 starts on the conti-nent, the stable ranked a close second in earnings with $7,336,758 and won four grade 1 stakes, including the Breeders’ Cup Classic (G1).

Long known as one of the premier owners of turf horses worldwide, Juddmonte redoubled efforts to make a mark on American dirt racing as well. It enlisted trainer Bob Baffert to buy and condition main track talent, and the result was 3-year-old Arrogate, who won the Travers Stakes (G1) and Classic to bank $4,084,600 in 2016.

Juddmonte furthered its laurels on grass when homebred 6-year-old Flintshire dominated the Woodford Reserve Manhattan Stakes and Longines Sword Dancer Stakes (both G1T). Second in the Longines Breeders’ Cup Turf (G1T), Flintshire added $2 million to the Juddmonte coffers last year.

The other Juddmonte-owned North American black-type winner last season was 4-year-old homebred Suffused, who took the Glens Falls Stakes (G3T) and Belmont Coronation Invitational Stakes.

First-place votes from members of the consolidated voting entities: Juddmonte Farms (134); Kenneth and Sarah Ramsey (45); Klaravich Stables, and William Lawrence (17); Spendthrift Farm (17); California Chrome, LLC (16); Reddam Racing (4); Fox Hill Farms (3); John Oxley (3); WinStar Farm (2); End Zone Athletics (1); Midwest Thoroughbreds (1).

BROWN WINS FIRST ECLIPSE AWARDBy Alicia Wincze Hughest @BH_AHughes

Chad Brown left nothing to chance in 2016—not sta-tistical categories, not intangible achievements, not

even his tried-and-true reputation of primarily enjoying success with turf runners.

No matter the measure used, there was no arguing Brown’s barn was operating at a rarified level last season. The only thing left to add to a season that saw Brown lead the nation in earnings ($23,135,084) and graded stakes wins (42), earn his first Saratoga Race Course training title, and even saddle a couple of grade 1 winners on dirt, was the emotion of taking home his first Eclipse Award for outstanding trainer—something he experienced Jan. 21.

When Brown won a record 40 races during the Saratoga meet to end Todd Pletcher’s longstanding dominance, it was a microcosm of the depth of Brown’s aptitude. In addition to conditioning Flintshire to multiple grade 1 wins and guiding Lady Eli back to top-level glory after her battle with laminitis, Brown also had an Eclipse Award finalist for champion 2-year-old male

in multiple grade 1 winner Practical Joke.“He’s taken the pressure of those top horses and

proved he can win grade 1 races on a regular basis with them,” said Garrett O’Rourke, manager of Juddmonte Farms. “He has delivered (and) everyone has noticed.”

First-place votes from members of the consolidated voting entities: Chad Brown (208); Bob Baffert (21); Mark Casse (11); Art Sherman (3); Steve Asmussen (2); Karl Broberg (1); Todd Pletcher (1). Voter Abstention: 1. BH

CASTELLANO'S ECLIPSE AWARD STREAK GOES ONBy Lenny Shulman and Erin Shea

It’s getting to be a habit—a very pleasant one—for Javier Castellano,

who collected his fourth consecutive Eclipse Award as North America’s outstanding jockey Jan. 21.

Since 2013 the Venezuelan native has led the continent in purse earnings each season, and that total reached $26,826,241 for 2016, his 20th year riding in the United States. That total was nearly $3.4 million more than his closest pursuer.

Castellano kicked home an even 300 winners on the season for a 21% strike rate. He won an astounding seven races in 2016 that carried purses of $1 million or more: the Delta Downs Jackpot Stakes (G3, Gunnevera), Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf (G1T, New Money Honey), Pennsylvania Derby (G2, Connect), Longines Sword Dancer Stakes (G1T, Flintshire), Woodford Reserve Manhattan Stakes (G1T, Flintshire), Longines Kentucky Oaks (G1, Cathryn Sophia), and Charles Town Classic Stakes (G2, Stanford).

He won additional grade 1 events with Annals of Time in the Hollywood Derby, Connect in the Cigar Mile Handicap, Shaman Ghost in the Woodward Stakes, Sweet Loretta in the Spinaway Stakes, and Cavorting in the Personal Ensign Stakes.

His black-type victories for the year totalled 58.

Castellano, who moved his tack from Florida to New York in 2001, benefits from his association with that circuit’s two top trainers, as he rides extensively for Todd Pletcher

and Chad Brown.Also collecting an Eclipse

Award for his reinsmanship was Luis Ocasio, who was named outstanding apprentice as he closed out 2016 with 110 trips to the winner’s circle and more than $2.8 million in earnings.

Ocasio, a native of Puerto Rico, is a graduate of Escuela Vocacional Hípica, a Puerto Rican jockey school that also counts leading riders John Velazquez, Irad Ortiz Jr., and Jose Ortiz among its distinguished alumni. The 19-year-old Ocasio got his start riding at the Camarero Race Track before coming to the United States in March.

He won his first race in his new home March 20 aboard Alice Roadtrain in a dominating 9 3/4-length victory in a $7,500 claiming race at Parx Racing. His career was on the rise in the spring, as he picked up three more wins in April and won eight in May, all at Parx.

Mainly riding at Parx and Hollywood Casino at Penn National Race Course, Ocasio had an 18% win rate from 606 mounts in 2016. He came in first for apprentice jockeys by earnings and by wins, and out of all North American jockeys he ranked 93rd by earnings.

Although he has yet to win a stakes race, he was among the leading riders at Parx last year, finishing second by wins and fifth by earnings.

First-place votes from members of the consolidated voting entities (Jockey): Javier Castellano (146); Mike Smith (44); Jose Ortiz (41); Florent Geroux (12); Irad Ortiz, Jr. (2); Julien Leparoux (1). Voter abstentions: 2.

First-place votes from members of the consolidated voting entities (Apprentice Jockey): Luis Ocasio (182); Lane Luzzi (34); Eric Cancel (1); Ashley Castrenze (1). Voter abstentions: 30. BH

BEHOLDER COLLECTS FINAL CHAMPIONSHIP TITLEBy Alicia Wincze Hughest @BH_AHughes

The only thing Spendthrift Farm’s Beholder had left to chase last year was her own legacy.

Already a multiple Breeders’ Cup winner, Eclipse Award champion, and future first-ballot Hall of Famer, the daughter of Henny Hughes was sent on a 6-year-old campaign solely because she refused to give any indication she had lost her sustained brilliance.

Facing some of her toughest challengers—as well as questions over whether she had lost a step—“Queen B” wrapped up her racing days in a manner as fantastical as her 26-race career, delivering one more master-class performance and earning a fourth Eclipse Award, this one for champion older dirt female of 2016.

Beholder was previously honored as champion older female in 2015 and earned divisional hardware at ages 2 and 3 in 2012 and 2013, respectively.

In her final year in training, the bay mare went through a wringer that ultimately allowed her to showcase as much mettle as she had ever put forth.

After winning the Adoration Stakes (G3) in her seasonal bow in May, Beholder became the first horse in North American history to win grade I contests at ages 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 when she captured the June 4 Vanity Mile Stakes (G1) over fellow champion Stellar Wind.

What followed was the first “downturn” of Beholder’s career, when she suffered consecutive losses for the first time. Stellar Wind narrowly bettered her in both the Clement L. Hirsch Stakes (G1) and Zenyatta Stakes (G1). Sandwiched between those defeats was a runner-up effort to champion California Chrome in the Aug. 20 TVG Pacific Classic Stakes (G1) at Del Mar.

Heading into the Nov. 4 Longines Breeders’ Cup Distaff (G1), Beholder not only was no longer the undisputed ruler of the older distaff ranks but had an heir threatening her mantle in the then unbeaten 3-year-old filly Songbird. When Hall of Fame jockey Gary Stevens asked his mount one last time for her best in the Distaff, Beholder responded by going eyeball to eyeball with Songbird down the Santa Anita Park stretch, refusing to give way and give up her crown as she got her nose down at the wire to earn her third career Breeders’ Cup victory.

“I think in the immediate aftermath we were just thinking of how unique her career has been,” said Ned Toffey, manager of B. Wayne Hughes’ Spendthrift Farm. “You think about other sports and think about people in the Hall of Fame, and very often they have careers where they were good over a long period of time or brilliant over a shorter period of time. She did both. She was brilliant over a long period of time.”

ARROGATE, SONGBIRD RULE DIVISIONSBy Lenny Shulman and Evan Hammonds

Nobody saw it coming, this gray or roan express train that had

been dismissed at odds of 11-1 on a hot late-summer day at Saratoga Race Course.

With the Preakness and Belmont (both G1) winners in the field for the Travers Stakes (G1), and with trainer Bob Baffert unable to win the previous edition of the race with a Triple Crown champion, what credence could be given to an optional-claiming allowance winner shipping cross-country to contest the Midsummer Derby?

In the space of 1:59.36, the entire scope of racing for 2016 changed radically. Sure, Arrogate went out to the Travers lead, but his :46.84 half-mile fraction was surely too rapid for the 10-furlong test, wasn’t it? Allowance winners weren’t supposed to open up on a field of graded winners and they’re not supposed to lengthen their lead to 13 1/2 lengths on the wire and smash a track record that had stood for 36 years.

Juddmonte Farms’ Arrogate was no one-hit wonder, either. Kept out of competition for 10 weeks between the Travers and the Breeders’ Cup Classic (G1), he fought every step of the way and passed the seemingly invincible California Chrome late to win the Classic and cement his place as champion 3-year-old male of 2016.

That Arrogate (Unbridled's Song—Bubbler, by Distorted Humor) was only breaking his

maiden a week before the running of the Belmont shows how quick his ascension was. And combined with the dissipating fortunes of classic winners Nyquist, Exaggerator, and Creator, Arrogate was the dominant 3-year-old left standing at year’s end.

Bred in Kentucky by Clearsky Farms, Arrogate is the product of Prince Khalid Abdullah’s seeking to reinvigorate his North American stable, which had fallen in numbers and fortune following the death of Juddmonte’s longtime U.S. trainer Bobby Frankel. And who better to guide that resurgence than Baffert, who did a masterful job guiding Arrogate to five consecutive victories following a first-out, third-place finish at Los Alamitos Race Course in April? Baffert, with help from bloodstock agent Donato Lanni, purchased Arrogate for

$560,000 during the third session of the 2014 Keeneland September yearling auction.

The colt had shin issues early in his career, but once he got rolling he galloped through two optional-claiming allowance conditions without being turned loose. That came at Saratoga.

From questioning whether he could hold on at the top of the stretch of the Travers, the racing world has come to realize they are witnessing something special in Arrogate, who has only gotten better as the distances and competition increase. How good is he?

“I thought it would be a long time before I got a horse of American Pharoah’s caliber again,” Baffert said. “Then Arrogate comes along.”

Thanking Lucky StarsFans of Thoroughbred racing should thank their

lucky stars to have witnessed such a horse in 2016 in the form of 3-year-old filly Songbird. Fox Hill Farms' unbeaten 2-year-old of 2015 carried through her sophomore campaign in much the same way, with seven consecutive victories, earning her the Eclipse Award as champion 3-year-old filly. Not until her final outing of the year did she feel the sting of defeat.

The loss, to champion Beholder in the Longines Breeders’ Cup Distaff (G1) by the slimmest of noses, in no way diminishes the perception of the dark bay or brown

filly. If anything, her loss shows an even higher level of her class, much like Seattle Slew’s defeat to Exceller in the 1978 Jockey Club Gold Cup (G1), or Zenyatta's narrow loss to Blame in the 2010 Breeders' Cup Classic (G1).

Odds-on in her first seven starts of the year and the 11-10 favorite against Beholder in her seasonal finale, Songbird dealt out wins that were exceptional. Always racing on or near the front end, her opening quarter-mile and half-mile fractions were never blistering, but she remained in control at all times while seemingly galloping along under regular rider Mike Smith.

If there was a moment that looked as if it might not be her day, it was fleeting, as she always had an open-length lead coming out of the far turn and was never challenged by any others of her generation inside the eighth pole.

With Hall of Fame trainer Jerry Hollendorfer, Songbird had little trouble in her first three starts at Santa Anita Park: in the Las Virgenes Stakes (G2), Santa Ysabel Stakes (G3), and Santa Anita Oaks (G1). A low-grade fever in April knocked Songbird out of the Longines Kentucky Oaks (G1), but with careful handling she bounced back for her summer campaign.

A 6 1/2-length romp in the Summertime Oaks (G2) in mid-June was the right set up for a run on the East Coast, where Songbird crushed her rivals in the Coaching Club American Oaks (G1) at Belmont Park, the Alabama Stakes (G1) at Saratoga Race Course, and Parx Racing's Cotillion Stakes (G1).

Bloodstock agent Tom McGreevy, who has picked out many stars for Fox Hill owner Rick Porter, including 2011 Horse of the Year Havre de Grace, paid $400,000 for the John Antonelli-bred daughter of Medaglia d'Oro—Ivanavinalot, by West Acre, at the 2014 Fasig-Tipton Saratoga yearling sale.

"She’s the best horse I've bought, in a rout," he told BloodHorse last summer. "You just run out of words to use for her. It really brings a tear to your eye. I don’t know what else you can say."

CLASSIC EMPIRE, CHAMPAGNE ROOM LEAD YOUNGSTERSBy Lenny Shulman and Jeremy Balan

The talent was always there. The behavior finally caught up with it.

Classic Empire, a rangy, good-looking son of Pioneerof the Nile, came to hand under the tutelage of Mark and Norm Casse, and then left the rest of the juvenile division in arrears as he claimed the Eclipse Award for 2016’s top 2-year-old male.

Despite his first three running lines reading "slow early," "ducked in start," and "wheeled start, lost rider," Classic Empire managed to win four of his five starts on the season. When the Casses got to giving Classic Empire extra schooling and work in the starting gate, and added blinkers for his efforts in the Claiborne Breeders’ Futurity and Sentient Jet Breeders’ Cup Juvenile (both G1), Classic Empire really strutted his stuff and headed into his sophomore campaign with $1,485,920 in the bank.

That bank belongs to John Oxley, who parted with $475,000 to land Classic Empire, out of the Cat Thief mare Sambuca Classica, during the third session of the 2015 Keeneland September yearling sale. Just two

weeks before Classic Empire took the Juvenile, Oxley and his wife, Debby, learned of the death of their 2001 Kentucky Derby (G1) winner Monarchos. The Oxleys endured lean years after their Derby triumph, but their teaming with Casse has rejuvenated both owner and trainer, and Classic Empire, with continuing maturity, could well return them to glory under the Twin Spires.

“It was like being in orbit again,” Oxley said. “Classic Empire took me back to that level. I’ve never had a 2-year-old that did this well. It was really a special year watching him.”

Classic Empire lifted the curtain on his career at Churchill Downs three days before last year’s Derby. Over a sloppy track he spotted his field three lengths, but roared through the lane to win by 1 1/2 lengths going 41⁄2 furlongs. Back at Churchill in July, he began seven lengths in arrears in the Bashford Manor Stakes (G3), but rolled late to take the six-furlong event by three-quarters of a length. He ran out of luck at Saratoga Race Course in the grade 1 Hopeful Stakes, however, when he dumped jockey Irad Ortiz Jr. at the start, prompting the extra work of the Casse team and the addition of blinkers.

Classic Empire was a perfect gentleman at Keeneland in the Breeders’ Futurity, setttling into a stalking trip,

taking command at the top of the lane, and cruising to a three-length triumph. In the Breeders’ Cup he again set himself up beautifully, prompting the fast pace of Syndergaard from second and then holding off Not This Time late to earn his hardware.

“He’s the most impressive 2-year-old winner I’ve had,” said Mark Casse, not exactly tamping down expectations that Classic Empire could follow in the footsteps of another Pioneerof the Nile colt, American Pharoah, who did pretty well at 3.Hard work paid off with Classic Empire, who was a unanimous winner of his division

Deft Decision Yields Award-Winning SuccessIn retrospect, the 33-1 odds on Champagne

Room in the 14 Hands Winery Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Fillies (G1) looks foolish.

It’s not that the favorites weren’t deserving or that the Broken Vow filly didn’t warrant longshot status. After a relatively underwhelming effort in her first two-turn try, that was enough to make her an outsider—but the second longest shot on the board in a field of 12?

Some might say that winning the Juvenile Fillies alone was enough to win the Eclipse Award as champion 2-year-old filly, but she might not have earned that honor—which was bestowed on her connections Jan. 21 at Gulfstream Park—without a promising summer at Del Mar.

Well supported in her debut for trainer Peter Eurton, who is not known for first-out success, Champagne Room ran second after breaking from the oft-dooming rail post at Del Mar in July. That encouraged Eurton to run her back, just three weeks later, in the Sorrento Stakes (G2).

That decision was deft, and bettors this time were on board. Off as the 6-5 favorite in the first of the Southern California graded stakes for juvenile fillies, Champagne Room defeated future stakes winner Miss Southern Miss by 1 1/4 lengths.

That moment of promise, however, was followed by a third-place run in the Del Mar Debutante Stakes (G1) and a troubled fourth-place finish in the Chandelier Stakes (G1) at Santa Anita Park, but the Juvenile Fillies upstaged them all.

While the Chandelier might have given bettors pause in the Juvenile Fillies, it didn’t faze Eurton.

“The trouble she got in—she was inside and wanted to go,” Eurton said of the Chandelier, a race where regular rider Mario Gutierrez was replaced by Mike Smith. “(Smith) was in a fight with her for five-eighths and only got beat by four (lengths).”

With Gutierrez—who had ridden her in her first three starts—back in the irons, it all clicked again for the filly. Champagne Room, unencumbered with an outside trip, opened a clear lead at the top of the stretch and just

held off a late drive from impressive maiden winner Valadorna to win by three-quarters of a length.

“She’s still very aggressive by nature, and I think she’s going to grow out of that and maybe be a little more relaxed early on, so we just wanted to let her run out of there and think about where we are after that. Mario did an excellent job on getting her into good position,” Eurton said.

TEPIN, FLINTSHIRE STARS OF THE TURFBy Alicia Hughes and Claire Novak

As good as Tepin was in 2015, trainer Mark Casse and own-

er Robert Masterson figured they owed it to the daughter of Bern-stein to show her off during her 5-year-old campaign. In a whirlwind tour that saw her win at five differ-ent tracks in three different coun-tries, Tepin managed to maintain her superiority over one of the best divisions in racing in 2016.

Though she ended her season with runner-up finishes in the First Lady Stakes (G1T) and Breeders’ Cup Mile (G1T), what came before was strong enough for Tepin to earn her second straight Eclipse Award for champion turf female.

The mere presence of Tepin was enough to strengthen the credentials of the filly who would become her biggest competition for year-end hardware. Three-time grade 1 winner Miss Temple City earned two of her top-level triumphs as a result of running against males in an effort to dodge the 2015 Breeders' Cup Mile heroine.

Through her first six outings in 2016, tangling with Tepin was futile.

The Florida crowd got the first taste of the fully mature bay mare when she began her season with victories in the Lambholm South Endeavour Stakes (G3T) and the Hillsborough Stakes (G2T) at Tampa Bay Downs, before rolling to a five-length win in the Coolmore Jenny Wiley Stakes (G1T) at Keeneland in April. In what would be her final stateside victory of the year, Tepin

captured the Churchill Distaff Turf Mile Stakes (G2T) for a second consecutive season and then set off across the Atlantic to make a little history.

The notion that American turf runners were lesser on international ground was dispelled June 14, when Tepin bested a global assemblage of male rivals to become the first North American-based horse to win the Queen Anne Stakes (G1) at Royal Ascot. A deserved three-month freshening followed, after which the Machmer Hall-bred mare further drove home her superiority when she toppled males once more in the Sept. 17 Ricoh Woodbine Mile Stakes (G1T).

“I think if you look at it, there

are a lot of great trainers who have won a lot of Breeders’ Cups (and) a lot of great trainers have won the Kentucky Derby,” Casse said. “But for her to win a (group) 1 going a mile against older colts (at Ascot)—it’s something that we’ve been able to achieve that very few have. I said all along it was right up there with the Breeders’ Cup. But after much reflection, I would say it’s our No. 1 accomplishment.

“When you have a turf horse like Tepin, she’s not just dealing with the best horses in North America—it’s the world. They’ve shipped many good ones, and she usually sends them packing.”

Flintshire Another Juddmonte Eclipse Award Winner

Flintshire’s star shone brightest last summer.Already a winner of grade/group 1 events in

three different countries for Prince Khalid Abdullah’s Juddmonte Farms—and after successful raiding trips to North America in 2014 and 2015 under the care of trainer Andre Fabre—the globetrotting homebred was shipped from France to Chad Brown’s New York stable for the stateside 6-year-old campaign that resulted in his champion turf male title awarded Jan. 21 at the Eclipse Award ceremony hosted by Gulfstream Park.

Arriving in the United States again in 2016, the dark bay or brown son of Dansili possessed a worn passport. He was remarkably competitive at Longchamp, Chantilly, Epsom, Saint Cloud, Sha Tin, Meydan, and in the U.S. He tangled with some of the sport’s greatest stars—such as Golden Horn and Treve in back-to-back Qatar Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe (G1) seconds—but his first start under Brown’s care showed he was ready to take center stage again.

Able to display his devastating turn of foot despite a six-month layoff, Flintshire announced his presence June 11 at Belmont Park with a 1 3/4-length victory in the 1 1/4-mile Woodford Reserve Manhattan Stakes (G1T). At Saratoga Race Course he next uncoiled that brilliant burst on command, taking the July 30 Bowling Green Stakes (G2T) with a last-to-first showing while in hand after sweeping wide due to traffic troubles. The Aug. 27 Longines Sword Dancer Stakes (G1T) was a repeat of his 2015 score.

“His summer performances were exceptional,” said Juddmonte manager Garrett O’Rourke. “I think he is very much deserving (of the champion turf male title). He put up brilliant performances and showed up at all of the dances.”

Flintshire’s body of work made him the best grass horse in North America in 2016, and two runner-up finishes at the end of his three-race win streak did nothing to soil his reputation. First a boggy track got the better of him for a second to Ectot back at Belmont in the Oct. 1 Joe Hirsch Turf Classic Stakes (G1T). Then, though the turf was firm for the Longines Breeders’ Cup Turf (G1T) at Santa Anita Park, he could not improve upon his 2014 loss to Main Sequence. He again settled for the place spot—this time behind sharp pacesetter Highland Reel.

Flintshire was retired to stud at Hill 'n Dale Farms after the Breeders’ Cup with an 8-12-1 record from 24 starts and earnings of $9,589,910, having won a group/grade 1 event every year he ran.

“Flintshire did everything and more of what we hoped he would do when we brought him over here,” O’Rourke said. “We had a lot of fun with him, and I think he’s given a lot to Prince Khalid.”

DREFONG, FINEST CITY SPRINT TO TOP HONORSBy Evan Hammonds and Tracy Gantz

With his Eclipse Award for male sprinter awarded Jan.

21, Drefong joins Lost in the Fog (2005), Trinniberg (2012), and Run-happy (2015) as the only 3-year-olds who earned the honor this century.

In most cases the top male sprinter of the year has a “body of work” for the year that elevates him to the top honor. However, in the case of Drefong, it was brilliance in two career-defining efforts at the end of the year that landed him the Eclipse statue.

On May 30 and July 4, Drefong imposed his will on optional-claiming allowance runners at Santa Anita Park, winning both sprints by open-length margins and earning top-line Equibase Speed Figures.

Shipped to Saratoga Race Course, along with stablemate Arrogate, Drefong wound up being the 3-1 favorite for the Aug. 27 Ketel One King’s Bishop Stakes (G1). Taking the field wire to wire going seven furlongs, he extended his advantage in the lane to two lengths at the eighth pole and 3 1/4 at the wire under Mike Smith in 1:21.25.

Drefong, after being off 10 weeks, won the TwinSpires Breeders’ Cup Sprint (G1) by 1 1/4 lengths over a small but select field. Baffert-trained Lord Nelson was scratched prior to the race.

Bred by Frederick Allor, Michael Barnett, and Anthony Warrender, Drefong was sold by Barnett’s

Blackburn Farm for $200,000 as a weanling and purchased by Susan Chu’s Tanma Corp. as a $450,000 Keeneland September yearling in 2014. Thirty-six yearlings from the first crop of three-time champion Gio Ponti were sold at Keeneland that year and Drefong was the highest-priced.

“(Bloodstock agent) Donato Lanni and I work together,” trainer Bob Baffert said after the Breeders’ Cup. “We don’t do anything without each other’s OK. This horse was so beautiful. He was a perfect specimen.”

The well-put-together colt races in the name of Susan’s husband Charles Chu’s Baoma Corporation. With a background in show horses, Chu’s wife, Susan, was the one instrumental in getting the family

involved with Thoroughbreds, traveling from their home in the Boston area to pursue Baffert as their trainer. With the Hall of Famer’s direction, they have had a great deal of success in a short period of time. Under the Tanma Corp. banner, the Chus have raced graded winners Chitu and Super Ninety Nine.

She's So FineFinest City not only proved the

best distaff sprinter of 2016, but acquitted herself around two turns on dirt and turf as well.

It illustrated the mare’s versatility, though in the end, she demonstrated her keen sprinting ability by beating the best in the Breeders’ Cup Filly & Mare Sprint (G1) to clinch the Eclipse Award as top female sprinter.

Two father-and-son combinations contributed to Finest City’s championship. Wayne and Tyler Seltzer race her in the name of their Seltzer Thoroughbreds, while Eric and Ian Kruljac have collaborated on her training. Finest City was the first horse the 28-year-old Ian trained under his own name.

Eric Kruljac selected Finest City for the Seltzers during the seventh session of the 2013 Keeneland September yearling sale for $85,000. Henry R. “Hank” Nothhaft bred the daughter of City Zip—Be Envied, by Lemon Drop Kid, in Pennsylvania because Northhaft bought Be Envied to breed to Silver Train in that state.

Though the elder Kruljac trained Finest City for her initial outing, Ian was involved from the beginning. She gave Ian a victory the first time he ever saddled a horse in his name, at Del Mar Aug. 23, 2015.

“I’ve spent a lot of time, especially at Del Mar, in the mornings with Ian,” Tyler Seltzer said. “I trust him. I know him. I like him. I feel like he’s cut from the same cloth as his dad.”

Finest City began her championship season with a close second in the seven-furlong Santa Monica Stakes (G2). One of her most outstanding efforts of the season came mid-year at Los Alamitos Race Course. She overhauled the leaders to win the 6 1/2-furlong Great Lady M. Stakes (G2) in a track-record 1:14.48.

“I really didn’t think we had seen her best yet,” Ian said afterward.

Unbeknownst to the team, however, Finest City was just getting started. In the Vanity Mile Stakes (G1) she finished third to two champions, Beholder and Stellar Wind. At Del Mar on the turf, she ran fourth in the 1 1/16-mile Yellow Ribbon Handicap (G2T) and then missed by just a head behind Avenge in the 1 1/8-mile John C. Mabee Stakes (G2T).

“The race against Avenge was a bang-up race,” Tyler Seltzer said.

Sprinting was Finest City’s forte, however, so Ian prepared her for the seven-furlong Filly & Mare Sprint. The large field attracted the 2015 winner, Wavell Avenue, as well as Haveyougoneaway and Paulassilverlining, who ended up as the other two finalists in this division.

Finest City beat them all, thwarting the late surge of Wavell Avenue, to win by three-quarters of a length.

“She dug down and started to pull away more,” Ian said, “so I know she’s got a lot of heart and is definitely a fighter.”

RAWNAQ LEADING STEEPLECHASER OF 2016By Evan Hammondst @BH_EHammonds

A player in his native Ireland over jumps in minor stakes, Irvin Naylor’s Rawnaq came into his own

in 2016 with a well-managed season by trainer Cyril Murphy. Three wins in four attempts, including a pair of NSA-1 wins, vaulted the then 9-year-old son of Azamour to the Eclipse Award as top steeplechaser.

Rawnaq opened the season with a 15-length score in Middleburg’s NSA-3 Temple Gwathmey Hurdle Handicap, and came back three weeks later to edge Shaneshill by a neck after the three miles of the Calvin Houghland Iroquois Hurdle Stakes (NSA-1).

The front-running horse had the summer off and returned Oct. 15 in North America’s top steeplechase race, Far Hills’ Grand National Hurdle Stakes (NSA-1). His regular rider, Jack Doyle, was injured at Belmont Park. Ruby Walsh, Ireland’s leading steeplechase rider, was asked and jetted across the Atlantic to ride.

In the 2 5/8-mile Grand National, Rawnaq held off fellow Eclipse nominee Scorpiancer by three-quarters of a length.

Rawnaq finished second behind Sue Sensor’s Top Striker in Camden’s Colonial Cup Stakes (NSA-1) to end the year.

Naylor, who owns Still Water Farm, has been a leading owner by earnings five times and set the record in 2015 while campaigning champion Dawalan.
