I've been around for about a decade. Since ESPN.

No one is more dedicated to making a career in thoroughbred journalism than Steve. Super nice guy to boot.

Congrats on everything that comes your way! Good things do come to good people who work hard!

This is classic.
Happy for you Steve! You deserve it!
I'm definitely glad I got to meet you through the ESPN Boards way back when. It helped me stay engage in this game.

I took this line as smack from their memorable interaction on the air when Haskin wouldn't take any Zenyatta criticism.

I agree with all the good words about Steve. I've met himat SAR and if you go up and say hello he is genuinely glad to see you and talk. His enthusiasm and optimism ffor the game is contagious and desperately needed in this time of naysayears and trolls. A good indicator of how well thought of Steve is in the business is that virtually everybody takes time to go on ATR and speak with him.

I really don't know how he does it. I get tired just listening to him tell what he's doing.

I love racing and everything around it. If you are like me, you've got to like Steve. Excellent article by Steve H.
