Eclipse Awards To Honor The Late Ed Bowen

Yesterday at 10:39 AM

Thursday's 54th Annual Resolute Racing Eclipse Awards will honor the memory of the late Edward Bowen who passed away earlier this week. The decision, made by the National Thoroughbred Racing Association, Daily Racing Form and the National Turf Writers and Broadcasters, will honor the memory of the longtime author, racing journalist, and script writer for the Eclipse Awards since the event's inception in 1971.

“For more than half a century, Ed Bowen's words described the most memorable moments of the sport as captured each year during the Eclipse Awards,” said the NTRA's President and CEO Tom Rooney. “His list of accomplishments includes an Eclipse Award for magazine writing in 1972, thousands of articles and nearly two dozen books on Thoroughbred breeding and racing. Before the Internet, Wikipedia and Artificial Intelligence (AI), there was Ed Bowen.”
