A hickory-tough colt with a proclivity of getting into trouble in his races, Caveat crammed a demanding 21-start career within a 12-month span, which ended with a classic win.
Jim and Eleanor Ryan’s homebred filly Smart Angle became their first Eclipse Award winner when she was named the nation’s champion 2-year-old filly of 1979. During a seven-race stretch over a span of three months during her championship season, the Ryehill Farm colorbearer trained by the legendary Woody Stephens recorded six stakes wins, including four Grade 1s when taking the Selima, Frizette, Matron and Spinaway.
