The third annual Ron Rippey Handicapping Media Award is open for entries. Brisnet.com will present the award at the National Turf Writers and Broadcasters dinner to be held Wednesday, Nov. 2, at the Altadena Town & Country Club in Pasadena, CA.
The award is named in honor of Ron Rippey, a regular on the contest circuit, who won the 2006 National Handicapping Championship and was a 10-time qualifier for the prestigious annual event. He also wrote about racing and made picks for the Newark Star-Ledger. Rippey died August 26, 2014.
“Handicapping horse races is both an art and a science, and the ability to produce compelling content about the topic is a specialty that deserves recognition,” said Brisnet.com Director of Marketing Ed DeRosa. “We not only want to acknowledge the work done in this realm but also encourage people to continue to produce this type of content, and who better to honor than successful handicapper and newspaper columnist Ron Rippey.”
