Canadian grade I victor Cloudy's Knight and Triple Tiara winner Sealy Hill are among the finalists announced for the 2007 Sovereign Awards  on Dec. 6.

The Jockey Club of Canada determined the list of finalists as voted on by members in 15 categories. Winners of the individual categories as well as the Horse of the Year and its finalists will be announced at the 33rd Annual Sovereign Awards ceremonies at the Westin Harbour Castle in Toronto on Dec. 14.

Nominated in the champion male horse division, the Illinois-based Cloudy's Knight, trained by Frank Kirby, won the $2 million Canadian International (Can-I) and also captured the Sky Classic (Can-II), both on the Woodbine grass course in 2007.

He joins turf finalists Sky Conqueror, winner of the Turf Classic (gr. I) at Churchill Downs, and Eccentric, who won the King Edward Breeders' Cup (Can-II) and Connaught Cup (Can-III) in back-to-back grass efforts at Woodbine.

Sealy Hill was named finalist in two categories -- champion 3-year-old filly and champion turf filly or mare.

The Mark Casse conditioned Sealy Hill became the first horse to sweep Woodbine's series for Canadian-bred sophomore fillies. She nearly won the $1 million E.P. Taylor Stakes (Can-I) for fillies and mares when narrowly defeated by French invader Mrs. Lindsay.
