Can someone give me an argument for Victor Espinoza winning the eclipse over Castellano that’s not, “Victor won the Triple Crown and Javier didn’t?” I’m legitimately curious because I can’t get past the fact that Javier had a much better year in all.
I just don’t feel like an eclipse is justified (for a jockey) over three (four?) GI races on the same horse.
Someone on twitter swears up and down that Tepin is guaranteed to be voted Eclipse Older Mare and at first I was like “no way. Beholder will get it for sure.” But the more I think about it…both won 3 GI races and both won GI’s against males… but Beholder’s win was over a weak field and Tepin won a Breeders’ Cup race…
It might actually end up interesting.
A belated congratulations to California Chrome for his Horse of the Year Eclipse award.

Up the Backstretch: Tough day at the track for Untapable

Philadelphia, PA (SportsNetwork.com) – If everything had gone according to the script that had been written, 3-year-old filly Untapable would have won Sunday’s $1 million Haskell Invitational and put herself squarely in the Horse of the Year conversation.
Well, someone forgot to tell Hall of Fame…
