Default About "At The Races With Steve Byk"

Found this on www.raceday360.com :

Nice article by Bill Shanklin with some well deserved recognition for Steve and his show. It'd be great to see At The Races be acknowledged with an Eclipse Award this year. Props to Steve for all the work he does putting on a fantastic show throughout the year.

Congrats Steve. It's nice to see someone in the press acknowledge, what we know, how great the show is. An Eclipse is well deserved.

Nothing better?

I think even Byk would disagree with that.

I can't really overstate how grateful I am for ATR. I was thinking about how fortunate we're going to be to have the archives of shows like this in the long run. Someone might want to hear an interview with people like Bobby Frankel, Leroy Jolley, or John Nerud and they have them at their fingertips. Imagine what it'd have been like to have 30-60 min. interviews with the characters decades ago. Penny Chenery coming on the week before the Derby to talk about Secretariat or something.

If At the Races can't win an Eclipse, they shouldn't bother giving one out. I listen to a lot of racing/gambling related radio, and no one provides more hours of outstanding coverage than Steve.

SMH..

Thanks very much for the kind compliment.

I know you've been listening to ATR since ATRAB and have been incredibly supportive. Appreciate it immensely..
