Retinal surgery not something you hear about everyday so I have to imagine that it is a serious thing. Wishing him the best possible outcome and a speedy recovery.

Something tells me the last thing Steve would want is for us to put horses on the back burner...wishing Steve the absolute best and a speedy recovery, I'm hoping to meet up and say hi later in the meet at Saratoga actually.

In the meantime I think the best way to honor him would be to post more analysis in the Selections forum and I intend on trying to pick up some of the slack, even if I could never match the incredible insights he generously offers us all so often.

Best of luck Steve, hope you're recovered by the 17th/18th when I intend to make it back to the Spa.

Hey ontheoutside -- by no means did I mean to disparage your point, I apologize for how that came off, was not my intent. By all means hopefully everyone says a prayer for Steve...good vibes all over!

he said maybe he would try to pick up slack with the picks and such
maybe
someone could try and do the grids, with the a b c thing for the pick 5 and pick 4

just a thought

My Dad has had multiple retinal surgeries. They aren't fun. Follow those doctor's recovery offers, Steve.

Wishing you all the best for a speedy recovery.

Cool
had a co-worker who had it done twice within a year, he'll be ok as for the "racing", I bet they will be "off-the-turf" for Wednesday quite a major line of t-storms in the Saratoga area this Tuesday evening around supper time.

Can't help thinking about Steve. Plus this happened during Saratoga. I think it's awful and wish him the best. I can't imagine laying upside down for 2 weeks.

I was watching the races today and thought Steve is probably laying face-down. Get well soon Steve.

Well anytime you have to have something fixed it is serious specially for the AARP members. I know I'm breaking down and just waiting for something bad to happen.

...but GOOD LUCK AND GET WELL SOON STEVE!

That is the oddest recovery position I ever heard of.
