I don't know what to say. This was incredibly kind of Steve. I feel like Zenyatta.

It's a wonderful piece. I thought the line about ATR being just guys talking racing and the rest of the racing world eavesdropping was perfect. Mr. Byk you are a marvel, and as i said in the comment section, i am in awe of how you you manage your time. You are certainly long overdue for an Eclipse Award, that will happen i have no doubts.

Did you steal that line from Bob Baffert with a twist, or did Bob do a reach around with the Bobby Frankel line? I chuckled a little with the comment above about the Reward. Best to your continued hard work and dedication. Time is on your side. O yea, Mr H hit it out of the park with this piece.

I second the motion...
I tried to respond to Mr. Haskin's story in BH but my comments seem to have vanished in to some lonely cyber forum. I will post here instead because I know that you read your mail!!! My response to Mr. Haskin, for what it's worth, was something like this:
'Thank you for the much deserved recognition of the erudite Mr. Byk and his contributions to the sport of horse racing. I too marvel at his impeccable preparation, depth and breadth of knowledge, and participation in many facets of the sport. I am one of the many daily 'eavesdroppers' on ATR as well as a long time reader of your BH columns. The weekly conversation between the two of you is not to be missed. It would have to be you or Jay Hovdey who could begin to capture the great work that Steve Byk does as an ambassador for the sport and as a personality in his own right. Bravo!!!' Too long to be a Tweet... Thanks for all the great work you do. |

Great job Steve Haskin. If you're an avid listener of ATR, you already know that Steve's grasp of the sport is unmatched. My favorite story over the years is when Steve and Tina were heading to the Preakness. They stopped for an overnight at Chuck's place in New Jersey. Steve goes out to the car to get the luggage and realizes that he left Tina's bag back home in the kitchen. Priceless!!!

Well deserved, Mr. Robot.

Very well deserved recognition
My wife got me initially interested in racing, Steve and ATR and this site made me a lifelong fan and for that I'll be forever grateful. Was glad I got to tell you that in person a few years ago. |
