Mike- Please help me understand how this clinched an eclipse for EC. What about Cacique? What if he wins the BC Turf. That would be his 3rd grade 1 win of the year, equalling EC's 3 grade 1 wins and is the most important turf race. Clearly that race on Saturday was the weakest running of that race in quite some time. I wasnt impressed at all.
