Eclipse Award for Outstanding Steeplechase horse
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Eclipse Award for Outstanding Steeplechase horse is an American Thoroughbred horse racing honor. Created in 1971, it is part of the Eclipse Awards program and is awarded annually to the top horse in steeplechase racing.
Flatterer is the only horse to win the award four times in a row, his last coming at age 7 in 1986. Lonesome Glory has won the Award five times, more than any other horse, and was the oldest ever when he won it for the final time at age 11.
