Thoroughbreds - Eclipse Award Winners

Zenyatta, the 6-year-old (now 7) mare, was finally awarded Horse of the Year honors, as well as being voted the winner of the Eclipse Award in the Older Mare division.
Blame, the 4-(now 5)-year-old son of Arch out of the Seeking the Gold mare, Liable, was voted the Eclipse Award for Older Male. He was very close behind Zenyatta in the Horse of the Year voting.

Slip Away ran away with this year’s 41st running of the $100,000 Marion duPont Scott Colonial Cup on November 13, covering the 2-3/4 mile course over 17 obstacles in a time of 5:14.80 minutes. The seven-year-old gray gelding, a son of Skip Away and ridden by Paddy Young, galloped to a 25 and 3/4 length win in the field of nine.
