I don’t think I knew about the Yahoo board.

I started posting on the ESPN Philadelphia Eagles and Phillies boards probably early 2000s then switched over to a now-defunct message board called sports-boards. Steve posted on the Eagles board but must have mentioned derbytrail and I ended up over here.

Holy **** Mose.. I didn't realize that you came from the Birds page on Sports-Boards! I remember running a Super Bowl Props Contest a couple times (Donovan McNabb bobblehead was one of the prizes) and absolutely put up links to DT. That was a fun group of Iggs fans.

Agreed, that was a great group! I’m hoping they were all still around for the last 7 years.

I remember those contests. I finished “in the money” for one of them. I think I won an Eagles blanket? It was a long time ago, I can’t remember.

Steve used to post the Race of the Day contests or trifecta contests, I won one once and he sent me a really cool Satatoga stein and a 5-Star Dave bobblehead. Bobble head is at work and the stein stays in my bedroom, out of reach from kids and cats

Mostly a lurker here but I did just want to let Steve know that his hard work on the forum, specifically with the Weekend Beyer stuff, probables etc does not go unappreciated. Thank you!

I still come on to see Steve’s selections on big racing days and of course Saratoga. Always enjoy following the lead up to the triple crown. There were some characters on here over the years and of course some of the debates were always fun to read. The forum has stood the test of time. I’m glad I’ve been able to be part of it.
