Eclipse Thoroughbred Partners got their New Year’s Eve party started early Saturday with a graded turf double at Santa Anita, courtesy of Air Force Red and Queen Goddess.

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.

After the Hollywood Gold Cup (G1), Santa Anita’s Grade 1 action on Memorial Day shifts to turf for the Shoemaker Mile (G1), a “Win and You’re In” for the Breeders’ Cup Mile (G1), and the Gamely (G1) for turf distaffers.
