12/29/2011 - New York, NY (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Media Eclipse Award in the Television - Live Racing Programming category has been given to ESPN for its live coverage of the 2011 Breeders' Cup Classic. This is the third straight year that the network has been honored in the Live Television category.
"To win this award three years in a row is a great testament to our overall production," said Mike McQuade, who is Vice President of Event Production for ESPN and coordinating producer for the Breeders' Cup Classic telecast. "We treat the Breeders' Cup as a big event and we produce it as a big event. This year's Classic had a number of captivating storylines and our group did an excellent job telling these stories and bringing the audience right to the action."
November's $5 million Classic featured leading thoroughbred Havre de Grace, a four-year-old filly taking on male runners. The 1 1/4-mile race was won by 14-1 longshot Drosselmeyer whose jockey, Mike Smith, had won the event two years earlier aboard the mare Zenyatta.
ESPN won the award last year for its Breeders' Cup Classic telecast and in 2009 for the telecast of the Belmont Stakes, shown on ABC.
The Media Eclipse Award for Television-Features goes to HRTV for the documentary "Inside Information: Randy Romero." The program was broadcast on December 26 of last year.
"Because of the subject matter - physical and emotional abuse, severe burns, the horrific breakdown of Go For Wand - this was a show that was emotionally hard on everyone who worked on it, but no more so than for the man who lived through the events," said Amy Zimmerman, executive producer of HRTV and the co-writer of the documentary. "Everyone at HRTV is very grateful to Randy Romero for his honesty and assistance in letting us to tell his story."
HRTV has now won Media Eclipse Awards four times. Last year it was honored in the Television-Features category for "Inside Information: Swale" the 1984 Kentucky Derby and Belmont Stakes winner. Earlier the network picked up an award for best Feature in 2006 for the Pony Highway production of "On the Muscle" and in 2008 for the Hennegan Brothers' documentary "The First Saturday in May."
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.

March Madness odds and printable March Madness brackets
With the field of 64/65 set, MySportsbook.com has the Florida Gators as the 4-1 favorite to successfully defend their National Championship. Men’s Division-1 College Basketball has not seen a team repeat as National Champions since Duke won back to back championships in ’91 & ‘92. After losing three out of four late in the season, the Gators are full of momentum as they won their last four games by an average of 18 points. Not surprisingly, right behind the Gators are the other three top seeds: Kansas 5-1, UNC 6-1, and Ohio State 7-1. Many consider Kansas to be the hottest team in the country, having won 11 straight. With Kansas, it is hard to ignore all of the early exits from the “dance” in recent years. With an impressive ACC Tournament, UNC ensured themselves the other top seed. UNC has about as much talent as any other team in the tournament but with a team that’s best players are primarily freshman and sophomores, could youth be a concern. Behind freshman sensation, Greg Oden, OSU will look to do what their football team failed to do just a few months earlier. OSU seems to have peeked at the right time, as they currently have a 17 game winning streak. Since the tournament field was expanded in 1985, there has never been an instance where all four #1 seeds advanced to the Final Four. It is obvious that each of the top seeds have the talent to make it through to Atlanta. But as everyone knows, when makes the NCAA Tournament so special are all of the spoilers and “Cinderella” stories that knock off the favorites on a daily basis.
Be sure to logon to MySportsbook.com to see check out all of the early lines and “March Madness” props. Also be sure to enter the “$10,000,000 Perfect Bracket Contest”. If someone has the skills to predict every winner, they will be set for life and walk away with $10,000,000. Even if no one can cash in on the Grand Prize, with a $35,000 guaranteed prize pool and a Mazda RX-8 to the first prize winner, Sportsbook.com’s bracket is a must for all “March Madness” fans.
