California Chrome wins Horse of the Year at Eclipse Awards

California Chrome has one race left in his career, and is in such good condition right now that trainer Art Sherman is clamoring for more time with him. California Chrome was the biggest winner at the Eclipse Awards on Saturday night, taking home three trophies celebrating his accomplishments in 2016 — including Horse of the Year for the second time. [...] his victory at the Dubai World Cup was the National Thoroughbred Racing Association’s moment of the year. California Chrome beat out Arrogate — who toppled Chrome when they met at the Breeders’ Cup Classic — and Songbird for horse of the year. California Chrome’s final race is Saturday, when he’ll face Arrogate again in the $12 million Pegasus World Cup at Gulfstream Park. There were three unanimous winners out of the 248 votes cast in 17 divisions — California Chrome (older dirt male), Classic Empire (2-year-old male) and Songbird (3-year-old filly). Champagne Room (2-year-old filly), Drefong (male sprinter), Finest City (female sprinter), Flintshire (male turf), Rawnaq (steeplechase) and Tepin (female turf) also prevailed by wide margins.
