Thumbs up Thank Steve ,,,Great job with BC coverage and Congrats to Gun Runner

Thanks Steve great job in bringing us up to the Breeders’ Cup. The key to my day was Talisimatic and when I looked initially I missed it but you some comments on your show and when you look deeper, particularly at his TG figs and he was was on par or better than then the favs... made me look like I knew what I was doing

However the best part of the day was Gun Runner ....he ended very good day. Been following this Horse since his two-year-old season and he has improved every race except for the slop at Monmouth and needs to be commended and recognized for it. He always showed up and tried and all the talk about him not being able to go a mile and a quarter wasn’t true when you look at his breeding and record at the distance. This horse has matured into a very very good runner and I think it’s probably recognized now ....... Steve Asmussen should be commended on the excellent job he did with him.

hondo..

Thx and glad you did well..

You're right. Gun Runner was the highlight. Just spectacular. Earned it every step and the only horse to succeed when dueling inside a foe.

Byk brings it all on a silver platter. I've said it before, but I'd be long gone from this game without ATR.
Can't thank you enough Steve. Looking back on the weekend, every ticket I cashed was because of some nugget gleaned from listening to you and your guests. After Kitten's Roar won the first yesterday at 3-1, I knew it was going to be a great day! Now let's get you an Eclipse Award ffs.

Tom..

Thanks so much. Hearing that players benefited from the information is the motivation for the work that goes in to the show and is the feedback that means the most to me.

The generosity of the guests & regulars is simply remarkable with the DRF correspondents, NBC and XBTV talent, Gary Young (Wuheida), NTamm, Haskin (Bar of Gold), DeRosa & Scully, Sid (Mendelssohn), Johnny D (World Approval), et al, delivering.. as usual.

A terrific Cup.. Hope everyone got something.

Well said and I would be remiss if I did not thank Steve enough for all the hard work and insight his show and guest provide especially on these big events. I am a longtime fan and weekend warrior and the information I get I never realized existed making it all the more enjoyable...so happy that 6 years ago “flipping the radio dials on my way to work I came across the morning replays

Thanks for the great week of coverage. I listened to several segments multiple times, taking hand written notes, which definitely aided in a highly productive day. Nick Luck pushing Lancaster Bomber in such a way, just his tone, as if it was impossible for that horse NOT to hit the board, sparked a 3 race run that was wildly entertaining. You, your show, and your guests, are such an asset to any player...I don't know if it is possible to express enough gratitude.

Ed.. Congrats on another great great effort and thanks for the kind compliment. When the NBC team came from the paddock to the track before the Classic, Nick came over to me and said, "I haven't gotten a thing right today", so I let him know yesterday what his Lancaster Bomber confidence did for you and he was delighted by the news.
