Default Steve Davidowitz's Top Ten of 2011
Surely I can't be the only one here to have read this? I didn't see it posted yet here.

Quote:
#1. . .At the Races with Steve Byk, a satellite radio show broadcast five days a week on the Internet and via Sirius and XM radio, remains the singular, best media outlet for up to the minute racing news; provocative interviews; handicapping insights; perspectives on veterinary science and the industry at large, all of which are put forth in a manner that will inform horseplayers of every level of skill and experience. The host, Steve Byk, who has a journalism background and owns a modest group of racehorses in partnerships with some of his listeners, may have views that at times, I disagree with, but no one is doing more to promote the sport or bring it to the racing fan than Steve Byk.

I firmly believe he deserves a special Eclipse Award for his persistent efforts on behalf of the greatest game man has ever invented and his overall excellence in broadcasting.

Nice write-up. Byk's show is certainly Eclipse award worthy. They give them for pictures... so why not one for radio.

I say we Occupy The Eclipse Awards! How would we go about doing that?

And yes, show Steve the money. At some point they who ever they is, will realize that Steve should be the Senior VP of Public Relations for the Thoroughbred industry. That would be a major move in the right direction.

Having watched you do the show live on set, the amount of work and juggling that goes into every segment is much more that you are giving yourself credit for.

Your passion for the sport shines bright Steve, surely more fans have been endeared to the sport because of you.
