Thank you Freddy..

That means a great deal to me knowing how faithful an ATR listener you are.

I just threw in my two cents worth at #114.

Thx Joey... :D

Excellent.

I decided to throw my 2.5 cents into the mix also..

Pricci's next move...

Methinks Pricki should not have messed with our fearless leader.......but when you don't have any good sense, these things happen....viva la Byk!!!!!!!!!!!!

Steve has more class than this guy could ever think of having.

Pricci is just a bitter, washed up turf writer. The true idiocy is in the reader comments. Those lunatics are some real geniuses!

It's sad and funny at the same time. Steve brings a daily stream of guest at the highest level in the game -day in and day out- for anyone who wants to listen. 3 hours of the sport of Kings. And John has the nerve to say Steve is self promoting. Promoting what?? Music on the introw? To bad

Thanks to everybody for the very kind and, in the DT spirit, humorous, support. I won't engage in it, but the predictable rogues gallery of Internet malcontents are apparently crawling out from under their respective rocks over there. As I wrote earlier, it's a bizarre sideshow.

I get needled here sometimes for being eternally optimistic about racing and painting rosy pictures about it. But whatever I've tried to do in capacities as a media member or slightly public individual around racing, has been done to encourage interested parties participation in and enjoyment of the sport. It's temporarily disheartening that some feel such an eager and voracious need to attack and belittle, but in any walk of life, that won't deter anyone who has real passion for what they're doing.

I rest my case :)

Anytime you can draw out Quiet Chris and Smooth Operator to take a shot at you, you can be rest assured you have done something right.

You know you are on the correct side in a debate when the other side keeps quoting thier "credentials" as they make remarks.

Don't forget about Stevie Belmont. If you engage him he might tell you that Smarty Jones was on his top 100 list the November prior to the Derby.

Finally I read a post or reply by the gracious host of this forum when I did not need to pull off the shelf Webster's Dictionary

Now we dance.

Don't even get me started on him.
