Compiled From Wire Services

Favorite Trick was voted the year’s top 2-year-old horse in the Eclipse Awards balloting.

Favorite Trick got all but one of the 301 votes cast by Thoroughbred Racing Associations racing secretaries, Daily Racing Form employees and members of the National Turf Writers Association.

One ballot-box derby remains, the Horse of the Year. And it will be a two-horse race between Favorite Trick and Skip Away, the champion older horse. The winner will be announced Feb. 10.

Bob Baffert, trainer of champion 3-year-old Silver Charm, won outstanding trainer.

Jerry Bailey became the first jockey to win three consecutive Eclipse Awards.
