CRIMINAL TYPE WINS HORSE OF THE YEAR HONOR

For Criminal Type, the end of a long road through enemy territory was an Eclipse Award for Horse of the Year.

Criminal Type, winner of the four Grade I stakes before his season was ended by injury, edged out Kentucky Derby winner Unbridled and the sentimental choice, Go for Wand, to win the award.

Calumet Farm's 5-year-old son of Alydar won seven times in 11 starts before the leg injury that kept him out of the Breeders' Cup Classic.

Kentucky Derby winner Unbridled, also a finalist for Horse of the Year honors, was voted the top 3-year-old colt or gelding.

Go for Wand, the brilliant winner of six Grade I stakes who broke down in midstretch in the Breeders' Cup Distaff and was humanely destroyed, was voted top 3-year-old filly.

Craig Perret, who won the Kentucky Derby aboard Unbridled and was the nation's winningest rider in stakes races, was voted outstanding jockey.
