Monday, Jan. 26, 2004 | 10:02 a.m.
Ralph Siraco's horse racing column appears Monday and his Southern California selections run Tuesday-Sunday.
The 33rd annual Eclipse Awards dinner will be tonight at the Westin Diplomat Resort & Spa in Hollywood, Fla. The Oscars of thoroughbred racing will honor top achievements and crown the Horse Of The Year as the main event.
Hall Of Fame jockey Gary Stevens will be the master of ceremonies. Stevens, who also had a role in the blockbuster movie "Seabiscuit," will be handing out hardware reflecting the top votes from the three bodies who cast ballots to determine each category winner.
