Byk gets the Haskin Treatment.

[PinkPigeon]

I tried to respond to Mr. Haskin's story in BH but my comments seem to have vanished in to some lonely cyber forum. I will post here instead because I know that you read your mail!!! My response to Mr. Haskin, for what it's worth, was something like this:

'Thank you for the much deserved recognition of the erudite Mr. Byk and his contributions to the sport of horse racing. I too marvel at his impeccable preparation, depth and breadth of knowledge, and participation in many facets of the sport. I am one of the many daily 'eavesdroppers' on ATR as well as a long time reader of your BH columns. The weekly conversation between the two of you is not to be missed. It would have to be you or Jay Hovdey who could begin to capture the great work that Steve Byk does as an ambassador for the sport and as a personality in his own right. Bravo!!!'

Too long to be a Tweet... Thanks for all the great work you do.
