Spinround8:28 PM
2YO Male Dirt – Fleetwood Flatline Owned By Fleetwood of Northwest Racing CircuitFleetwood Flatline started his career with a bang winning his first start on January 10th. He parlayed that early start into a win in the G2 Highroller’s Juvenile before going wire to wire in the Albert Einstein division of the Equinics where he defeated a number of stakes or future stakes winners including Dragon’s Deputy who went on to win three straight grades including a grade one. After that Fleetwood Flatline went on to face a crackerjack field in the G1 Sparkling Wine, his first route and again he took the field on a catch me if you can romp, wiring the field which included seven graded or future graded winners. Back in fourth that day was Hurricane Legend. That horse would meet up with Fleetwood Flatline in the Breeders’ Bowl Juvenile and take the win while our champion ended up in eleventh. But he had done enough throughout the season to take a well deserved championship.

Spinround8:30 PM
2YO Male Turf – Kiekeboe Owned By Bobmarley of Universal Racing CircuitKiekeboe won five of six starts in 2020 with his only blemish a second in the Eiffel Tower division of the Equinics. He raced exclusively in sprints but with three graded stakes scores it was enough to earn the championship. He didn’t start his career until March but he came out of the gate running, taking a maiden a listed and the G2 Coventry Stakes, all at six furlongs. This colt has plenty of early speed but is tractable and his run in the Equinics was very much similar to his other races, he just came up a bit short that day. He returned a month later to score an emphatic win in the G1 Golden Shoe before stretching out to seven furlongs for the G1 Duetoburst Stakes which he won by a half length.
ivanyamil8:32 PM
Congrats to the winner
Roxynken8:32 PM

He started the year with an allowance win before running in three straight listeds of which he won two and was second in the other. His big score of the year came in the Niagara Falls edition of the Equinics at six furlongs by a head. In that start – his first in a graded stakes – he beat two other grade one winners and a number of other graded winners. That race was the highlight of his season but his early season success was enough to score a championship.

Over to the young men ….8:34The winner of the 2020 Eclipse award for the 3 year old dirt sprint filly division is WATOGA STATION. Owner Lenny271 steered this filly to three stake wins during the 2020 season which began with a listed stake win. She took a second in the Bob Barker before paving her way to the Eclipse award with wins in the Priceless and the Equinics. She would hit the board once more in grade level with a third in the TOCA Sprint to add to the success! A fine year for Watoga Satation!8:34make that young women…lol

Spinround8:35 PM
3YO Male Turf Sprint – Razor Crest Owned By Theoc of East-West ConnectionRazor Crest started 2020 routing on dirt but in May he made his first turf start going a mile and was second in an allowance. His connections dropped him down to seven furlongs for his next start and were rewarded with a wire to wire allowance score. He followed that up with a similar run in a listed, also at seven furlongs before entering the first graded stakes of his life, the Leonardo da Vinci division of the Equinics. That six furlong race featured two more experienced grade one winners at six furlongs on turf as well as several other graded winners who specialized at the distance but none were capable of taking on Razor Crest who showed a new dimension by sitting just off the pace before running past the front runners to win by an emphatic length. Most recently he was a close third in a five and a half furlong listed. All of those points added up to a championship for Razor Crest.
Supertaffy8:35 PM
Yeah!
Denovo8:36 PM
Wow –great for Theoc 🙂
Roxynken8:36 PM
Now our sprint turf lady…8:36The lady winning the Eclipse in the three year old Turf Sprint class is BLACHERNAE !!! During 2020, Blachernae took the top spot in three stake races. The first two were listed stakes that came in the Spring. The crème de la crème came in the summer games in the Equinics where she cracked the 100 level for the first time and snagging the G1 win (105 speed). She also hit the board in the Mt. Fiji Filly Turf Sprint (3rd) and wrapped up the year with a 2nd in the Range Rover Handicap. Congrats to owner Mrenforcer!

3YO Male Dirt Route – General Crook Owned By Pleasanttap of Northwest Racing CircuitGeneral Crook was the 2019 Champion 2YO Dirt after wins in the G1 Breeders’ Bowl Juvenile and the G1 Sparkling Wine. He took a lot of time off after the Breeders’ Bowl win before making his first 2020 start in the G2 Land’s End stakes where he finished third, closing be less than two lengths off the winner. That was his only prep for the Bluegrass Derby a race his half brother Low Fidelity had finished second in just a few years prior. With the family honor on the line General Crook closed from ninth to win by a neck. He returned two weeks later to take the Middle Jewel Stakes by a length and three quarters. The colt finished fifth in the New Yorker and then dropped back in distance for the Equinics but he could only manage a sixth. He took some time off before prepping for the Breeders Bowl in an allowance but his season was done yet his big wins early in the year carried him to a second championship.

Roxynken8:40 PM
The female winner in the same category…..8:40The Eclipse winner in the 3 year old dirt route filly group is REGENT OF JUSTICE. This filly is owned by Supertaffy and collected four grade level wins during 2020. She strung a trio of wins together with a pair of Oaks victories leading the way, the first in the Los Angeles Oaks followed by the First State Oaks. Wrapping up the win streak was the prestigious Equinics. But the prestigious races did not end there….the Breeders’ Bowl Distaff would be the feather in the cap! Congrats on the achievement Supertaffy!

Spinround8:42 PM
3YO Male Turf Route – Flagstriker Owned By Lenny271 of GR SimstersFlagstriker ran eight times in 2020 and he won five of those races four of those in graded stakes at a mile on the turf. He began with a January score in the G3 Jellyton Stakes before dropping down to a listed which he also won. Going back to grades he took the G3 Irish 2000 Guineas Trial sitting in second before blowing by the leaders. He was the heavy favorite for the classic 2000 Guineas at Newmarket and he did not disappoint the punters, closing from five lengths back to win emphatically by two and a half lengths. He had his first hiccup in his next race, the G1 Jean Brat but he returned to win the Space Shuttle division of the Equinics. He made two more starts in 2020 both times taking on his elders and he found the competition a bit too much but he was easily the best three year old turf miler of his generation.

3YO Male Dirt Long – Flavors of Mayhem Owned By Lenny271 of GR SimstersAs is so often the case the 3YO Male Dirt Long division came down to the winner of the New Yorker and in 2020 that was Flavors of Mayhem. He denied General Crook the Triple Crown with that victory in which he went wire to wire and held on to win by a quarter of a length. The rest of his season was spent in the route division where he acquitted himself well. He won the G1 Dreams of Nambia at a mile and three sixteenths early on, as well as a listed at the same distance. He also ran third in the Breeders’ Bowl Classic against his elders.

Our lady winner in the same category is….8:46In the dirt division, we find our winning three year old dirt long filly belonging to Cadet! FRANKIE AND THE H snag the Eclipse award thanks to a quartet of stake wins! The wins started relatively late in the year, June to be precise, taking down a listed stake event. From there it was all grade level with the Oaks de Swedish (G3) being the first. After this, she had a near miss second in the Grate Dane (G1) and commenced to string up two strong end of year wins in the Radiant (G2) and Saturday Night Girl (G1). Well Done, Cadet!

3YO Male Turf Long – King of Theives Owned By Pboy20 of Universal Racing ClubMuch as the Bluegrass Derby is THE race to win for three year old dirt runners, the Derby de English is for the turf horses. This year nineteen horses lined up for the $6,000,000 race and King of Theives emerged victorious. The colt had already won the G1 Sydney Derby at the same distance of a mile and a half and that experience made him the second choice in the field. He followed that up with a solid third in the G1 Owner’s Stakes and added a win in the G3 Northern Beer Stakes later in the year.
Supertaffy8:48 PM
Yea! Love the name
Roxynken8:48 PM
Very well done!
Roxynken8:49 PM
And our female winner in the same category……8:49The Eclipse for the Filly Turf Long Route for 3 year old goes to PARRISH HILL! Winterset takes the top honor and had a fantastic stint of five consecutive stake races. She launched the streak with a win in a listed stakes which was followed by a stream of Oak wins in the New Zealand Oaks, Sydney Oaks, Oaks de English and the Irish Oaks! To boot, she was second in the Saint Legend and Vicky Oaks to wrap up a successful season!

ok let’s get the older runners going8:52Older Male Dirt Sprint – El Guru Owned By Ivanyamil of Empire State RacingEl Guru started the year off with a bang, running a massive 121 speed in the G2 Pablo Cruz Handicap at seven furlongs. It seemed as if seven furlongs was his sweet spot as he added the G1 Three Bender and G1 Foregone Stakes later in the year running 120 and 117 speeds in each. He ran creditably in the G1 Sand Castle Golden Sprint, beaten only a length back in fourth but for much of the year those seven furlong races enticed. But when the Breeders’ Bowl rolls around and you have a multiple grade one winning sprinter you’ve got to take a chance, right? Luckily the connections of El Guru did just that and he rewarded them with a victory, cementing his championship resume.8:52congrats IVAN!
scoobi8:52 PM

Roxynken8:53 PM
Winning the Older Filly Turf Sprint division is OPERATION SPARK who is owned by Smokeglack. This mare had a third in a listed stake and a second in the G3 Kentucky Distaff early on in the season, both in a mile race. But this division is for sprinters and she secured the top spot with a win in the summer Equinics race where she annoyingly stalked the leaders. She followed that up with a victory in a listed stake race. Congrats on the big win!

Older Male Turf Sprint – Wreakful Owned By Kingdamo of All-Stars RacingWreakful was the 3YO Turf Sprint champion in 2019 off a win over his elders in the Breeders’ Bowl Turf Sprint. He was unable to complete a double in 2020 where he finished third in that race but he won plenty of races and earned a second championship. From May through November he ran in only grade one and grade two races and he never failed to hit the board. He won the G2 All Ages and G2 Golden Jamboree before representing All-Stars Racing in the Equinics – Apollo II edition. He ran his eyeballs out in that start, battling for the early lead only to lose by a head. He followed that up with another G2 win in the Central Park Stakes before running second in a G2 and third in the Breeders’ Bowl. It was a very good run over six months.

All-Stars having a good year too8:57ok back to dirt!8:57Older Male Dirt Route – Voyage of Charon Owned By Cadet of Empire State RacingTypically the Older Male Dirt Route winner is proficient at the classic mile and a quarter distance. But Voyage of Charon was at his best between a mile and a mile and an eighth and boy was he successful. From May through November he ran in five straight grade ones at those distances and was never off the board. He won three of those races, starting with the Hit Me Handicap in August and following that with wins in the Breeders’ Bowl Dirt Mile and the Japan Cup Dirt. In addition he was second in May’s Barry Foster and third in September’s Goody Good. Six months of grade one dominance paid off in spades for his connections culminating in a championship.8:58this is Cadet’s second Eclipse of the night

She had a win and a second in a pair of listed stakes in the early stages of the year with a third in the G3 Eagle Handicap sandwiched in. In the second half of the year she was second in the Personal Sign which was also sandwich by a trio of wins in the G2 Windy City Gold Cup and the more honorable 2020 Equincs and the Breeders’ Bowl Classic. Some very sound achievements to be proud of and congrats on the award!

Older Male Turf Route – Tronic Owned By Silversun of GR SimstersFrom seven starts in 2020 Tronic won five of them, all at a mile on the lawn. He began the year with a G3 win in the Horse Chestnut Stakes but after that he raced exclusively against G1 competition. His biggest win came in the Breeders’ Bowl Mile but he added the Champions Mile, the Suffix and the Queen Liz Stakes. He was also third in the King Kong Mile. In the Queen Liz and Breeders’ Bowl Mile he ran back to back 123 speeds. If you want to see a truly dominant season look no further than Tronic.

The winner in the Older Filly Turf Route division is a lady owned by Redhill and goes by the name of EARTH IS FLAT! While the name may be a lie, this mare knows her war around the oval! In early 2020, she hit the board twice with a second in the G3 Shawnee River Handicap and a third in the G2 Saint Ana. Earth is Flat put in a solid late effort to run off with the Equinics mile race in August and found a way to replicate this in the G1 Moltherly Love Stakes. Congrats on a successful campaign!

The four year old made her first appearance, which happened to be in the G3 Charlotte Cup, a winning one. She put in a decent effort taking a third in the Turtle Bridge, her next stop. This set her up for her second grade win in the G3 Saint Paul. Two more sound performances earned back-to-back trips to the winner’s circle in the G2 Rocky Top Oaks and the G1 Empire State Stayer!

Older Male Dirt Long – Usually Pay Double Owned By John5539 of Universal Racing ClubLike many of this year’s champions, Usually Pay Double scored a win in the Equinics. In his case it was the two mile Mount Rushmore. That was his third graded win of the year after taking the G3 New Orleans Stayer in February followed by the G1 Cayuga Lake Special. He was also second in the G1 Razorback Route and third in the G3 Gallant Socks Handicap. Overall he racked up plenty of points to earn the championship.

Roxynken9:07 PM
USA VS THE WORLD is the 2020 winner of the Eclipse award for the Older Filly Turf Long division. She came to life late in the year for owner Smokeglack and I feel it would have been wonderful to see her in the Equnics just based on her name. She sparked in June finishing second in both of the Landshark Oaks and the Giving Thanks. She finally nailed things down and found her first stake win in the Brake Hill Stakes (G2) and her fine form gained her entry into the Breeders’ Bowl F and M Turf where she captured an even bigger prize! And to top that prize is the Eclipse award and congrats on the winning efforts!9:08Congrats Smokeglack on the 2nd winner!

Older Male Turf Long & Horse of the Year – Golden Cloud Owned By Stoners of Old-School Racing StablesGolden Cloud didn’t make his stakes debut until late May of 2020. But boy did he take to it like a fish to water. Not only did he make his stakes debut there but it was in the G1 Grand Brazilian at a mile and a half. He was second that day but ran well enough for his connections to enter the G1 King Geoff and Queen Beth’s Emerald Stakes where he was second again. Third time was the charm as Golden Cloud won the G1 Expensive Jalopy by over three lengths next out. And good things come in threes for these connections as that was the first of three grade one wins for the horse. He added the Breeders’ Bowl Turf and the G1 Winter Cup to close out the season. Certainly Golden Cloud is an example of what patience can bring to connections when a horse needs to mature to show his best.

Thanks for posting Spinround. It was an unforgettable night. I will correct myself on the date I started in the sim. My first win was on January 6, 2001, so I must have started with my stable around December of 2000. That means I have been playing for more than 20 years. I write it and can’t believe it.
