Horse of the Year (1936-70) In 1971, the Daily Racing Form, the Thoroughbred Racing Associations, and the National Turf Writers Assn. joined forces to create the Eclipse Awards. Before then, however, the Racing Form (1936-70) and the TRA (1950-70) issued separate selections for Horse of the Year. Their picks differed only four times from 1950-70 and are so noted. Horses listed in CAPITAL letters are Triple Crown winners; (f) indicates female. Multiple winners: Kelso (5); Challedon, Native Dancer and Whirlaway (2). | Year | |
