Tom.. You're incredibly kind. Thank you. Career recognition is gratifying and having it come from peers/colleagues is especially meaningful. I got very lucky, relatively late in life, to be able to do something I'd always wanted to do.

Congratulations on an amazing accomplishment, which is very well deserved. This never would have happened at P&G!

Well done Steve. When I see those posts here from you at 3 and 4 o'clock in the morning, I am always amazed. Obviously, your work ethic is like that of only a few other people and whatever accolades you get are well deserved.:tro:

Wow is right! Great work.

Congratulations Steve... I am so glad I found this site and reconnected w/you....have always loved horses but you are what brought me and my entire family into the thrill and beauty of racing and handicapping. So happy for you!

The long hours and dedication are generally not cumbersome when participating and contributing to something that you care about.

Thank you for your contribution to this sport.
Well deserved!

No one more deserving 👏

Please remember to thank me during your acceptance speech, it's the least you could do for listening to your show for 15 years! It's FreddyMo with a capital M

Well deserved respect from your peers AND us railbirds! :tro:

Wow...congratulations Steve, well deserved :tro::tro:

Right on Steve !

Kasept 09-17-2021 12:23 PM

When starting Derby Trail on Yahoo in '02, I never imagined having a career complete enough for a distinction like this. Everyone that participated there and then here, made it possible. So when I say thank you, it's for much more than the congratulations. I cherish the privilege I've been afforded to present the game in the way(s) I do.

Congrats Steve! Thank you for creating a place for this community and the enthusiasm you create for the sport.

knickslions2 09-17-2021 09:40 PM

Carolina BBQ
 
On my second trip to Saratoga from South Carolina over 15 years ago I see this food stand "Carolina BBQ" and only because of my curiosity that such a place would exist I walked over and met this guy Steve Byk. From that I:

Started on here, Derby Trail
Went in on the first two Derby Trail horses, Sumwonlovesyou & Kick'n & Screaming
Started listening to the best horse racing show which has open the doors to understanding this game and hearing from every angle

Multiply that by all the people you've impacted, and big props for adding to the sport as well as people's lives.

A deserved laurel. Congratulations!

From the humble beginnings on "At The Races and Beyond" with JJ & Sam to a Jim Mckay award recipient is quite an accomplishment. Since I started listening many many moons ago you have hit on subjects I never remotely would have given a second thought to. It started out about the handicapping but now segments like "Sire Watch"with Sid Fernando and the Tony Black and Mig interviews are always something to look forward to. There is just too much to say about the enjoyment you give to umpteen thousands of listeners daily. Hopefully this is the first of many more awards that should rightfully come your way. Congratulations to a most well deserved human being.

Congratulations Steve, well deserved for all you do to educate people and promote horse racing.

hondo 09-20-2021 11:00 AM

Congratulations Steve very well deserved:tro::tro:

I think that is just great Steve and well deserved. I know you enjoy doing the show, and we sure all enjoy listening to it for years. It's nice to have your work acknowledged by your peers.

Kasept 09-21-2021 05:43 PM

Compelled to add further appreciation for the most recent set of posts.. Hearing that the show and other related endeavors helped players/fans stay interested (or rekindled interest) in the game is the most gratifying expression I can receive. THX again to all for the ongoing support and warm well wishes.

A well-deserved honor for our lifelong captain at DT. :tro::tro:

Late to the party but can't pass up this opportunity to echo the plaudits!

So well deserved!

I can think of few people in this world that deserve to be called "A Mensch"....you are at the top of the list!

Mazel Tov!

jnunan4759 10-06-2021 12:51 AM

This was really well deserved. I had the pleasure to know Jim and and he was an ardent fan of the game. I think he would be smiling down on this.

jwkniska 10-06-2021 09:43 PM

Congrats Steve. Well deserved.
