Started on here, Derby Trail
Went in on the first two Derby Trail horses, Sumwonlovesyou & Kick'n & Screaming
Started listening to the best horse racing show which has open the doors to understanding this game and hearing from every angle

Multiply that by all the people you've impacted, and big props for adding to the sport as well as people's lives.

same here Spyder...if it wasn't for ATR, I would have lost all interest years ago

From the humble beginnings on "At The Races and Beyond" with JJ & Sam to a Jim Mckay award recipient is quite an accomplishment. Since I started listening many many moons ago you have hit on subjects I never remotely would have given a second thought to. It started out about the handicapping but now segments like "Sire Watch"with Sid Fernando and the Tony Black and Mig interviews are always something to look forward to. There is just too much to say about the enjoyment you give to umpteen thousands of listeners daily. Hopefully this is the first of many more awards that should rightfully come your way. Congratulations to a most well deserved human being.
