Juddmonte Farms has been named Eclipse champion owner of 2016. The farm, which previously took home this award in 1992 and 2003, was represented in 2016 by Eclipse finalists Arrogate (Unbridled's Song) and Flintshire (GB) (Dansili {GB}). Juddmonte's 22 American winners made a total of $7,336,758 in 2016, trailing only Ken and Sarah Ramsey who won 131 races and $74,58,391. The majority of Juddmonte's 2016 earnings was courtesy of their $560,000 KEESEP purchase Arrogate, who took home $4,084,600 with five wins in six starts. Trouncing maiden and allowance company in California, the “TDN Rising Star” shattered the Saratoga track record with his 13 1/2-length romp in the GI Travers S. Aug. 27 and bested fellow champion California Chrome (Lucky Pulpit) to give Juddmonte its first win in the GI Breeders' Cup Classic.
