4 of 9 gets you an Eclipse? I would like to submit RA for DNA testing so she can get the 3yo award also.
When three of those four are the Belmont, Travers and JCGC, yeah, that'll usually get you an Eclipse. Personally I love the way the horse was brought along and am disheartened to see this happen. Hopefully he'll still be back at 4.
