Default Our own Steve Byk

Sorry if I'm posting old news from the other side of the world...but I see where our own Steve Byk has been named to the NTRA's horseplayers' advisory panel.

Congrat Steve!

Shouldn't they have gotten someone who bets? Isn't Steve better suited for a special guest appearance on the Food Network?

Must be a different Steve Byk...






J/K... Thank you and to everyone else...

It was nice to be asked and I'm eager to help in any way I can. They may just want access to the radio show...

Out of curiosity, does horse racing have a paid lobbyist at the federal level? Oh, and congrats Steve and to all of the other panel members.

Obviously I have no clue, but why try and tackle a gorilla(tax laws) for the first battle? Why not get the ADW situation ironed out, make it a success, and then go and tackle the bozo's at the IRS.
