Just as Flightline streaked light years ahead on the racetrack, so did the unbeaten phenom run away with Horse of the Year honors at Thursday night’s 52nd annual Eclipse Awards gala at The Breakers Palm Beach.

Regal Glory put an exclamation point on her career in Sunday’s Matriarch (G1) with Flavien Prat, who also rode Speed Boat Beach on a six-win closing day at Del Mar.

After scoring a Grade 1 breakthrough in last fall’s Matriarch (G1), Regal Glory prolonged her racing career with a winning spree. Now the Chad Brown mare comes full circle for a title defense in Sunday’s $400,000 renewal at Del Mar.

Third in the past two runnings of the Fourstardave H. (G1), Casa Creed improved to topple 1-2 favorite Regal Glory in Saturday’s renewal at Saratoga.

Fourth in the past two runnings of the Just a Game (G1), Regal Glory arrived in Saturday’s $480,000 renewal in the form of her life, and it showed.

Trainer Chad Brown figured to score a record fifth win in the Jenny Wiley on Saturday, with a pair of Grade 1 queens representing him in the Keeneland feature. Bettors ended up preferring Regal Glory slightly over younger stablemate Shantisara, and the duo proved the market spot-on to deliver an all-Brown exacta.

For the second straight year, Cafe Pharoah found Sunday’s $2.2 million February S. (G1) a sweet rebound spot after disappointing in the Champions Cup (G1) at Chukyo.

Although Saturday’s inaugural $490,500 Pegasus World Cup Filly & Mare Turf (G3) served up a couple of tactical plot twists, 4-5 favorite Regal Glory ensured a logical conclusion at Gulfstream Park.

The trainer/jockey tandem of Chad Brown and Jose Ortiz swept both stakes on Sunday’s seasonal finale at Del Mar. Regal Glory wired the Matriarch (G1), while Verbal rallied in time in the Cecil B. DeMille (G3).

Trainer Chad Brown goes for a closing day turf double at Del Mar, with major players in both the Matriarch (G1) and Cecil B. DeMille (G3) on Sunday.

While Con Lima was uncatchable on the front end in the $700,000 Saratoga Oaks (G3), Regal Glory rallied to take the $120,000 De La Rose S.

Con Lima, who nearly wired the Belmont Oaks, renews rivalry with the respective third through fifth-placers while facing a few newcomers to the series.

Hours after upsetting the Epsom Derby (G1) with 16-1 shot Adayar and placing third with Hurricane Lane, Godolphin trainer Charlie Appleby dominated Saturday’s $500,000 Just a Game S. (G1) at Belmont Park. Homebred Althiqa rallied up the rail to defeat frontrunning stablemate Summer Romance and garner her first Grade 1 laurel.
