That was again the case in 2023 as the farm ranked second to Godolphin by breeder earnings and tied for fourth in the nation by graded stakes wins, with those statistics catching the eye of voters to again earn an Eclipse Award finalist nod. Calumet-bred runners in 2023 were led by a pair of Grade 1 winners in War Like Goddess and Far Bridge, both by the late turf champion and Calumet stallion English Channel. :: Full list of 2023 Eclipse Awards finalists, including profile stories War Like Goddess once again was a prominent player among the top turf females, a division she has been prominent in for several years.
