American Champions including Eclipse Award winners

1935-current Descended from Man o' War

Here is the list of American Champions since 1935.  Those champions from 1936-1978 were decided by the Thoroughbred Racing Associations of America and the Daily Racing Form, who each published their own opinion of annual champions.  Since this method often chose multiple champions for individual categories, it was replaced in 1971.  The Eclipse Awards, which are selected by National Thoroughbred Racing Association (NTRA), Daily Racing Form and the National Turf Writers and Broadcasters (NTWAB), has supplanted the older system. 'The Blood Horse' combined to two to get a master list from 1935 onward.
