This year, the spotlight shines on Bridlewood Farm and Eclipse Thoroughbred Partners, who are back with a new star, Meaning, a Gun Runner filly. These owners are no strangers to success, having previously campaigned Journalism, a Kentucky Derby runner-up and Preakness Stakes winner.
A Return to the Spotlight
Bridlewood and Eclipse have a knack for spotting talent, as evidenced by their recent acquisitions. They purchased Meaning, a promising filly, for $440,000 at the Keeneland September Yearling Sale, and she has since proven her worth.
