Bright View Farm and Christine Connelly took home the Small Breeder of the Year Award at the TOBA Awards Dinner at the Kentucky Castle in Versailles, Kentucky, on the strength of New Jersey-bred Book'em Danno, who won three graded stakes in 2025, including the Forego Stakes (G1) at Saratoga.
The 2025 Eclipse Award Champion Male Sprinter successfully defended his title in the Grade 3 True North Stakes at Belmont at the Big A.
In its February 2025 issue, BloodHorse profiled Bright View Farm and the story behind Book'em Danno's path to grade 1 winner — from Christine Connelly's admiration of his dam Adorabella in the pasture to his breeding to stallion Bucchero and his standout 2024 campaign.
