Television Feature \u2013 Woodbine Entertainment<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cIn SECRETARIAT The Last Race,\u201d the Woodbine Entertainment broadcast team produced a retrospective of the last race of the 1973 Triple Crown winner\u2019s career in the Canadian International on the turf at Woodbine Racetrack in Toronto. The feature aired on Oct. 8, 2023, on TSN (The Sports Network) during the 2023 running of the Canadian International.<\/p>\n

Through compelling footage of Secretariat\u2019s arrival in Canada with throngs of media in attendance at the airport and for his workout at Woodbine, the story is recounted, among others, by Secretariat\u2019s jockey in the International, Eddie Maple, and longtime Woodbine public relations director Bruce Walker, and broadcast and Woodbine Journal editor, Jim Bannon.<\/p>\n

Secretariat won the Canadian International on a bitterly cold day by 6 \u00bd lengths. His victory was so inspiring and uplifting that fans came out of the stands and across the dirt track to cheer him home.<\/p>\n

\u201cHistory has already dictated the indelible mark that Secretariat left on the world of sports and his story has been told a hundred times over,\u201d said Rob Platts, Director of Broadcasting, Woodbine Entertainment.\u00a0\u201cThe part of this narrative that hasn\u2019t been as fully explored is how the greatest racehorse in the world ran his last race at Woodbine Racetrack in Canada and that\u2019s the story we wanted to tell.\u00a0We wanted viewers to understand what this historic event meant to those that were actually there in 1973 and what better way to do that than to hear first-hand from those that experienced it and truly feel the passion they felt 50 years ago.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe mix of archival film and the real emotions from those still here to remember what it felt like truly brought this story to life and the broadcast team at Woodbine couldn\u2019t be more proud to have their hard work on this piece recognized.\u201d<\/p>\n

SECRETARIAT The Last Race was produced by Tammy Gillanders with support from Phil McSween and Paul Salvalaggio. The director of photography was David Syrie and Rob Deluca, and Andrew Doherty was the editor.<\/p>\n

Feature\/Commentary Writing \u2013 Tim Layden<\/strong><\/p>\n

Layden, a writer-at-large for NBC Sports, has won his fourth Media Eclipse Award for \u201cMaple Leaf Mel and the Long Arc of a horse racing tragedy,\u201d which was published on NBCSports.com on Nov. 1, 2023. Layden related the story of Melanie Giddings, the trainer and cancer survivor of undefeated 3-year-old filly Maple Leaf Mel \u2015 named after Giddings \u2015 who suffered a fatal injury while leading the Test Stakes (G1) at Saratoga on Aug. 5. Giddings\u2019s love for her horse and dedication to her craft, and the painful memories of the incident, is interspersed in the article with a larger account of equine fatalities that took place at major venues during the past year.<\/p>\n

Layden, from Simsbury, Conn., also won the Feature\/Commentary Eclipse Award in 2022 for \u201cBeneath the Super Bowl\u2019s Turf: The Ghosts of Hollywood Park,\u201d which was published on NBCSports.com. He won his first Eclipse Award in 1987 for Newspaper Writing for Capital Newspapers in Albany, N.Y., and in 2018 for Sports Illustrated, for his Feature\/Commentary article on track announcer Charles \u201cChic\u201d Anderson.<\/p>\n

\u201cPainfully, horse fatalities have been an ongoing and important narrative in the sport, and we felt it was important to find an access point for that narrative as the 2023 season ended. Maple Leaf Mel\u2019s breakdown and death on Whitney Saturday was an especially difficult moment, because of the stage, but also because people inside racing knew that Mel was treated with the best of care. Often we look for villains, in all stories, but we were unlikely to find any here. That\u2019s what made the story so complicated and important, and that\u2019s why we wanted to tell it.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s important to say that this is Melanie Giddings\u2019s\u00a0story. I\u2019m just the messenger. That is always true in journalism, but especially true here. Last August 5 was one of the worst days of Melanie\u2019s life, and she entrusted me with her recollections and emotions, for which I am thankful and readers are enlightened and enriched.\u201d<\/p>\n

Judges in the Feature\/Enterprise category were: Bob Kieckhefer, United Press International racing writer; David Papadopoulos, a senior editor at Bloomberg News; and Robert Yates, who covered racing for the Arkansas\u00a0Democrat-Gazette<\/em>\u00a0and is notes writer at Oaklawn Park.<\/p>\n

News\/Enterprise \u2013 Sean Clancy<\/strong><\/p>\n

Sean Clancy was not originally assigned to cover the Test Stakes at Saratoga on Aug. 5, but sprang into action and wrote a news account of the race of the tragic consequences of the fatal accident to Maple Leaf Mel and the reactions of individuals surrounding the event. Clancy writes of the immediate and incredible sense of loss, and the mixed emotions of Brendan Walsh and his crew, whose filly Pretty Mischievous won the race.<\/p>\n

Clancy from Middleburg, Virginia, is the co-editor and publisher of The Saratoga Special along with his brother, Joe, which they co-founded in 2001. This is the second Eclipse Award for Clancy, who earned a News\/Commentary in 2009 for\u00a0\u201cLife\u2019s Work,\u201d about his recollections of the late Hall of Fame Trainer Sidney Watters Jr.<\/p>\n

\u201cWinning a second Eclipse Award and a first for The Saratoga Special is an incredible honor,\u201d said Clancy. \u201cWhen I was informed, my first call was to my brother Joe. My second call was to Tom Law. I\u2019m sure it was the same way for them. That\u2019s the team we have. One is my brother. The other is like a brother. We work together but it\u2019s far more than that. Just unbelievable\u00a0friends who I\u2019m lucky to work with and share the highs and lows of life.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI wasn\u2019t covering the Test. I was meant to cover the Whitney later in the day. I watched it with Tom, as a spectator, a fan. In awe of Maple Leaf Mel and then, like everyone, watched in horror. We both leapt into crisis mode and went to work. Paul Halloran, an integral member of The Special team, was meant to cover the Test. I followed Brendan Walsh, Paul switched to the Whitney and I wound up back at the barn with Brendan. He was honest, open, speaking for all of us, a devastated sport on a devastating afternoon. It was brutal to write but it had to be written. My thoughts are still with Maple Leaf Mel, Melanie Giddings and their team.\u201d<\/p>\n

Television \u2013 Live Programming \u2013 NBC Sports<\/strong><\/p>\n

For the fourth consecutive year, NBC Sports has won the Eclipse Award for Live Television Programming for its broadcast on NBC, Peacock, and the USA Network, of the two-day coverage of the 40th<\/sup>\u00a0Breeders\u2019 Cup World Championships from Santa Anita Park in Arcadia, California.<\/p>\n

NBC showcased the captivating action of the World Championships accentuated by the dramatic stretch duel between Cody\u2019s Wish and National Treasure in the Big Ass Fans Breeders\u2019 Cup Dirt Mile (G1) to the dominant performance of White Abarrio in the Longines Breeders\u2019 Cup Classic (G1). To enhance its production, NBC utilized access to approximately 75 video sources, including cameras and feeds; and among other technologies, a special gyro camera on a vehicle inside the rail on the backstretch, providing a live wide-angle perspective as the horses raced with the San Gabriel Mountains as the backdrop, and an RF Super Slo Mo camera, used for the first time on NBC Sports\u2019 horse racing coverage.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are proud to accept the Eclipse Award for\u00a0our presentation of the Breeders\u2019 Cup World Championships. While the Breeders\u2019 Cup is always one of the most spectacular events of the year to cover, this year \u2013 the 40th<\/sup>\u00a0running of the World Championships \u2013 was a particularly special experience,\u201d said Lindsay Schanzer, NBC Sports Senior Producer. \u201cWe relished the opportunity to celebrate the origin and ensuing four-decade run of what has become the capstone of the yearly racing calendar, and were delighted to bring the unforgettable moments of year 40\u2019s champions to audiences worldwide. This two days of racing is an enormous undertaking from a broadcast perspective, and\u00a0we thank\u00a0our incredible partners at the Breeders\u2019 Cup, who put their trust in us each year to bring this world-class event to life. We look forward to many more World Championships to come.\u201d<\/p>\n

Multimedia \u2013 TDN Writers\u2019 Room<\/strong><\/p>\n

Gulf War veteran Wade Yost and his son, Carson, joined TDN Writers\u2019 Room podcast hosts Bill Finley, Randy Moss, and Zoe Cadman on Sept. 23 for an in-depth and emotional discussion of Carson, a 31-year-old stricken with Wolf-Hirschorn Syndrome and a Grade 1-winning 2-year-old, Carson\u2019s Run, named in his honor. With the screen displaying the hosts in three quadrants and Wade and Carson, and at times hugging his father, Wade describes how his friendship with fellow United States Military Academy cadet, and West Point Thoroughbred President, Terry Finely, led to an idea more than 10 years ago to name a horse after Carson.<\/p>\n

In rearing Carson, Wade relates the daily challenges that he and his wife, Kim, have faced, but how the incredibly unlikely occurrence of being a part of a winning Thoroughbred has been an uplifting experience for the family.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was watching the NYRA show the day that Carson\u2019s Run made his first start at Saratoga, and Maggie Wolfendale interviewed Terry Finley in the winner\u2019s circle after he won, and they talked about the story behind the naming of the horse,\u201d said Susan Finley, Thoroughbred Daily News Publisher. \u201cBill Finley contacted Terry and wrote a story for that day\u2019s TDN, and when Carson\u2019s Run won the Grade I Summer Stakes, Bill decided to invite Wade Jost onto the Writers\u2019 Room. We were all very moved by his openness and honesty, and his willingness to discuss Carson\u2019s situation and struggles, and what Terry\u2019s friendship and the naming of the horse has meant to him.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAll the credit to Wade Jost, and the incredible team that combines to produce the TDN Writers\u2019 Room every week; our hosts Bill Finley, Randy Moss, and Zoe Cadman, to our producers, the TDN\u2019s Katie Petrunyak and Anthony LaRocca, and our editors Alia LaRocca and Nathan Wilkinson from the PW Media Group.\u201d<\/p>\n

Wade Yost added about this experience: \u201cIt\u2019s been emotional. We just wanted to do something for Carson. We have four children and the other three are really good athletes. They\u2019re grown now, but he was always going with us to their events as they competed in their various sports and was always in the background. So it was one of those things like, let\u2019s give him some limelight\u2014to live vicariously through an animal who can actually run. He\u2019s been confined to a wheelchair from day one. It\u2019s just a phenomenal thing that Terry and West Point Thoroughbreds have done for us.\u201d<\/p>\n

Honorable Mentions in the Multimedia category went to America\u2019s Best Racing for \u201cExperience the Thrill of Winning the Kentucky Derby with Ramiro Restrepo,\u201d which appeared on Bloodhorse.com and on NBCSports.com on May 9, 2003, Greg Charkoudian, producer; and to TDN for \u201cWill Walden Racing Gives Fresh Start to an Improbable Team,\u201d published on January 11, 2023, Katie Petrunyak, Producer.<\/p>\n

Photography \u2013\u00a0 Carolyn Simancik<\/strong><\/p>\n

Carolyn Simancik, who has been photographing for Eclipse Sportwire since 2018, captured the most dramatic finish of the 2023 Breeders\u2019 Cup World Championships in \u201cTrading Horse Paint,\u201d which appeared on the Press Box website on Nov. 4, 2023. Born in Troy, Michigan, and currently residing in Weatherford, Texas, Simancik zeroed in on the unrelenting battle in the Big Ass Fans Breeders\u2019 Cup Dirt Mile (G1) between defending champion Cody\u2019s Wish, ridden by Junior Alvarado, and Preakness Stakes (G1) winner National Treasure, ridden by Flavien Prat.<\/p>\n

With her Canon EOS R3, Simancik captured, the vivid contrast of Cody\u2019s Wish and rider Alvarado covered in dirt, compared to front-runner National Treasure and Prat, virtually unmarked. Owing to the competitiveness of the moment, Prat\u2019s right arm leans into Alvardo with barely inches of daylight between the two colts. Cody\u2019s Wish prevailed by a nose but had to wait out a stewards\u2019 inquiry before being declared the winner.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s the most incredible feeling,\u201d said Simancik on winning the Eclipse Award. \u201cThe caliber of photographers you are up against are people I have looked up to for a long time,\u201d mentioning Eclipse Award-winning photographers, Michael Clevenger, Scott Serio, and Alex Evers.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen I look back at all the photos on the day, that image stood out,\u201d recalled Simancik. \u201cThat\u2019s Cody\u2019s Wish, eyes forward, gritty type of horse. He had every opportunity to quit and he won.\u201d<\/p>\n

Prior to her full-time work in photography, Simancik was the breeding manager for eight years at the Oklahoma Equine Hospital in Washington, Oklahoma.<\/p>\n

The winning photograph can be viewed\u00a0here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Judges in the category were: Mark Abraham, freelance photographer and currently deputy director of the United States Senate Press Photographers\u2019 Gallery; Rob Carr, Getty Images\/Chief Photographer, Sport; and Mike Kane, veteran Thoroughbred journalist, and photographer.<\/p>\n
