LEXINGTON, Ky. (Jan. 5, 2025) – The National Thoroughbred Racing Association (NTRA), Daily Racing Form, and the National Turf Writers and Broadcasters (NTWAB) today announced the finalists for the 2024 Resolute Racing Eclipse Awards, recognizing excellence through the past year in Thoroughbred racing.

Coal Battle soundly defeated Mo Quality to capture the $250,000 Smarty Jones Stakes on Jan. 4 at Oaklawn Park.

The first of four 2025 run for roses prep races at Aqueduct Racetrack turned into a lopsided rout as Cyclone State clobbered six 3-year-old rivals to take the Jan. 4 $150,000 Jerome Stakes in his third straight victory at the Big A, all at a one-turn mile distance.

Ten of the most thrilling, memorable, and momentous events from Thoroughbred racing in North America last year have been nominated for the 2024 FanDuel Racing-NTRA Moment of the Year, a distinction determined by fan voting and recognized at the annual Eclipse Awards.

While specific comeback races have yet to be decided, owner Mike Repole has a few primary targets in mind for his stable's two stars who both turned age 4 on Jan. 1.
