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.

Super Bowl XLIII Betting - Super Bowl 2009

Super Bowl 2009, the Arizona Cardinals and the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Let’s take a look at the Super Bowl 2009 betting odds and the betting line and figure out where they’ve been and where they are going to go.

MySportsbook.com put up the Super Bowl 2009 betting odds late on Sunday night with the Pittsburgh Steelers favored by 6.5 points and a total betting line at 47.5 points.

Since then, however, the Super Bowl 2009 betting odds have seen a good deal of movement and you’ll want to be on top of where they are likely to move to make sure you get the best line value for the big game.

Since opening, the Super Bowl 2009 betting lines went to Steelers -7 in the span of roughly 3 hours but were quickly bought back down just minutes later to 6.5 again.

After that is took about 5-6 more hours before the betting line went back to -7 where it has sat for a while now and is likely to remain. The opening betting total of 47.5 was bet down right after the line became available and went to 47 within minutes.

Roughly a day later it has been bet even further down to the 46.5 tally it currently is set at.

Roughly 60% of gamblers seem to be on the Cardinals here so the point spread will be bet down and a 7.5 would not last very long at all with many taking the early 6.5 in hopes of finding a potential middle in the Super Bowl 2009 betting odds.

If you like Arizona and see a 7.5, I’d take it as soon as possible because it’s unlikely to last. For Pittsburgh backers, the -7 might be the best you’ll be able to find but a 6.5 is definitely possible close to game time.

Regarding the Super Bowl 2009 betting odds for the total, most tracked gamblers are already on the over and with those who took the under 47.5 already securing a middle on the over 46.5, the only way I see it moving is back up to 47 so if you like the over, I’d recommend betting now.
