There’s a lot of murmuring about this year’s Eclipse Award. The trophy, which recognizes the Horse of the Year, has been more of a clear-cut decision in years past. And yet, one name keeps popping up through all the hubbub: Havre De Grace.
She recently topped a poll over at NTRA for HOTY, despite finishing fourth in Saturday’s Breeders’ Cup Classic. Gary West of ESPN wrote a glowing article on her, stating: “clearly nobody has had a better campaign than Havre de Grace.”
What do you guys think? A glance at her record for the year makes us think Mr. West may be onto something. But, is that enough?
