CAUSEWAY AND KALANISI UP FOR HONOURS

European stars Kalanisi and Giant`s Causeway are in the running for Eclipse Awards in honour of their efforts in the USA.

The pair were both on the shortlists revealed last night for the prestigious prizes.

Breeders` Cup Turf winner Kalanisi, trained by Sir Michael Stoute for The Aga Khan, is one of three nominated in the category of three-year-old and up turf male.

Khaled Abdulla`s Juddmonte Farms operation is a possible for outstanding owner and outstanding breeder.

The winners in each category, plus the overall horse of the year, will be announced in a ceremony in New Orleans on January 30th.
