2021 Eclipse Awards: Klaravich Stables

Seth Klarman’s Klaravich Stables had another outstanding year in 2021, finishing second to the powerhouse Godolphin operation by North American earnings and putting it in position to chase another Eclipse Award.

Klarman formed Klaravich in 1993 with friend Jeff Ravich, and they raced in partnership for about a decade until Ravich left to start his own stable on the West Coast. Klarman later partnered with William Lawrence, with whom he campaigned 2019 Horse of the Year Bricks and Mortar. That was the swan song for the successful partnership, as Lawrence elected to back away from the Thoroughbred business. Standing on his own, Klarman’s racing operation still had an outstanding season in 2020, earning an Eclipse finalist nod.

Klaravich is again an Eclipse finalist with a season led by Grade 1 winners Domestic Spending and Search Results. Domestic Spending finished in a dead heat with Colonel Liam for the win in the Grade 1 Turf Classic at Churchill Downs, won the Grade 1 Manhattan Stakes at Belmont Park, and was second in the Grade 1 Mr. D. Stakes – formerly the Arlington Million – in Chicago. Search Results was a strong second in the Kentucky Oaks before subsequently winning the Grade 1 Acorn Stakes at Belmont.
