Top of the Class: Thorpedo Anna Rolls in Acorn

Ashland Stakes (G1) winner Leslie's Rose stalked the pace and rallied to grab second.

---

Somehow even more impressive than her dominating G1 Kentucky Oaks win, Thorpedo Anna put on an absolute show winning the G1 Acorn.

Just FYI used different tactics this time, trying to run Anna off of her feet early, but Thorpedo Anna loomed large on the far turn and rolled right on by as she pleased. Leslie's Rose put in her run this time, but her best effort couldn't get close to the winner.

It's almost a shame Thorpedo Anna came around the same year as stablemate Mystik Dan, because it would've been a real treat to see what she might've done in the Belmont Stakes. I really hope we get to see her take on the boys in one of the big summer races this year, she's just so cool.

Please please please put her in the Classic. I would die for a rematch. And she just showed all of the doubters that she definitely belongs racing in open class company.

Thorpedo Anna said “come and get me!” And left them in the dust, what an awesome filly!

Congrats to Horse of the Year: Thorpedo Anna and trainer Ken McPeek

When he began the year with talented filly Thorpedo Anna, trainer Ken McPeek thought he could have the champion 3-year-old filly. Little did he realize he'd also have the Horse of the Year, as announced at the annual Eclipse Awards on Thursday night.

The Kentucky Oaks winner, who went on to run against the boys, losing by a head in the Travers, won six graded stakes races -- five of them Grade I races -- as a 3-year old, including the Breeders' Cup Distaff. She becomes just the 12th female since 1887 to win Horse of the Year, which generally goes to male horses. She is the first to do it since Havre de Grace in 2011, and only the second 3-year-old filly to win the honor, following Rachel Alexandra in 2009.

It caps a great year for Lexington-based McPeek, who won both the Kentucky Derby and Oaks. He bought Thorpedo Anna as a yearling for $40,000.

"It's been a fantastic ride, and it's only starting," McPeek said. "She's going to keep running."

Are you into thoroughbred racing? If yes, I would love to discuss this Saturday's Travers Stakes, do you think Thorpedo Anna has a shot at history or is Dornoch going to run past her?

I am not.

The racing was truly delightful today

Thorpedo Anna showed her brilliance yet again in the G1 CCA Oaks

Dornoch showed his grit and heart with another victory snatched from the jaws of defeat in the G1 Haskell

And Idiomatic's showed her class in the G3 Molly Pitcher

Thorpedo Anna, Californians shine at Eclipse Awards

The road to thoroughbred racing’s Eclipse Awards ceremony in Florida on Thursday night went through California.

Champion older male on dirt National Treasure, male…

Much deserved! She was truly a force to be reckoned with!
