Eclipse Acknowledged For Being Astute Across The Pond
Eclipse has built an impressive record of identifying and importing top-performing European runners to the United States. Thoroughbred Daily News recently asked Eclipse President Aron Wellman and several of his American colleagues to share their views on the topic in a 2-part story, published in June, 2018.
