I sent an email to Sirius and they emailed me back. This was their response.
You can still stay on top of all the latest horse racing news and hear
previews of the big upcoming events with a full lineup of TVG shows.
You can listen to Trackside Live, Racing Coast to Coast and Starting
Gate and more.
I just shook my head. I wrote them back and told them that 5 TVG hosts combined don't have as much horse racing knowledge and passion about the sport as Steve Byk has.
I got new-used car last November. It came with a free, life time subscription to Sirius. I thought, gosh, this is lucky. So I started messing around with the radio to see what was on all the channels. I got to 100 and thought, this is all crap anyway. I kept going. When I hit 126 I could not believe what I was hearing. Someone was talking about horse racing. I shouted out loud, "my people!, I've found my people!". So I listened and thought, who is this guy using all these big words? He finally said his name. Steve Byk. When I got home I looked up Steve Bic on the 'puter. Could not find him. I tried Steve Bick. Could not find him either. Ahh, go look on the Sirius site. Oh, it's Byk. Cool. Wondered what kind of name that is.
Since I got my new-used car I've become a much better handicapper. I hit the triple in the Derby and Belmont this year. I've watched the last 51 years of triple crown races and I can't recall a year when I've had this much fun. Prior to the Derby I would go home, feed the critters and then look up Mike Welsch's reports. Took notes and everything. Discovered DerbyTrail.com. and here I am.
Steve I can't thank you enough. You're the best.
Will follow you anywhere
