This is the second Eclipse award for Hillenbrand.

Eclipse Awards are given to recognize members of the media for outstanding coverage of Thoroughbred racing. Eclipse Awards also are bestowed upon horses and individuals whose outstanding achievements have earned them the title of Champion in their respective categories. The awards are presented by the NTRA, the National Turf Writers Association and Daily Racing Form.

Media Eclipse Award winners will be honored at the 31st annual Eclipse Awards Dinner, to be held Feb. 18 in Miami, Fla.
