LEXINGTON, KY – Blood-Horse Publications is pleased to announce
that two editorial contributors of The Blood-Horse magazine, the

of this year’s Preakness media awards. The prestigious Old
Hilltop Award will be presented to Steve Haskin, senior correspondent
for The Blood-Horse, for his many years of distinguished coverage
of racing. In addition, photographer Skip Dickstein, a longtime
contributor to the magazine's major race coverage, is the winner
of the Nikon Preakness Photo Award. Dickstein captured War Emblem
and jockey Victor Espinoza’s focus on the finish line en
route to their victory in the 2002 Preakness.
The winners were announced by The Maryland Jockey Club on April

respective awards at the May 15 Alibi Breakfast in the Terrace
Dining Room at Pimlico. The presentation ceremony is scheduled
for 9:30 a.m. two days prior to the Preakness. ESPN’s Chris
Lincoln will act as the master of ceremonies.

passion for the sport," noted Ray Paulick, editor in chief
of The Blood-Horse. "They are true war horses in our Triple
Crown coverage and for them it’s a labor of love."
