Steeplechase photo garners Media Eclipse Award
Horseracing Betting Lines
12/30/2011 -
New York, NY (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Bob Mayberger of Eclipse Sportswire has
received the 2011 Media Eclipse Award for Photography honoring his photo of
thoroughbreds jumping over a fence during a steeplechase race at Saratoga Race
Course on August 4. The picture, of the A.P. Smithwick Memorial, was
featured on the Sports Illustrated Snapshot web site the same day.
"I am unbelievably surprised and happy that I've won an Eclipse Award
considering the number of outstanding and talented photographers that enter
the competition each year," said the first time honoree. "It was a beautiful
day at Saratoga and I thought I would try a fisheye photo on the Steeplechase
course for the first time. Steeplechase racing allows you to get a shot of
something the average person doesn't normally see. I know how lucky I am."
The Albany resident photographed 225 stakes races in 2011. He began taking
pictures from the Saratoga grandstand 10 years ago, but initially gained
recognition as a photographer in 2008 for a widely distributed photo he took
of a loose horse shoe on Big Brown during the colt's failed attempt to sweep
the Triple Crown in the Belmont Stakes.
The 58-year-old Mayberger works as a lawyer at a New York State appeals court.
The Eclipse Awards are voted upon by the National Thoroughbred Racing
Association, Daily Racing Form and the National Turf Writers And Broadcasters.
The 41st annual Eclipse Awards will be presented on Monday, January 16 in
Beverly Hills, CA.
