There must be a great story about you met this guy Steve.
He is indeed a great ambassador for the game. And listening to him, you can tell the guy has a lot going on upstairs - he's smart. His recollection of events is vivid and he precisely articulate what tends to go on during a race, and why. His ideas for ways the sport can change to make it better for the jockeys and the players are right on.

His segments are basically the exact opposite of the Kent D. appearance.
