He is one of a kind and I am thankful for him and ATR and wanted to save this praise for a weekend that wasn't so kind to him ( handicapping wise that is ), and truthfully it's been a long wait !

I am 62 yrs old and he is the reason I became a fan in 2007 when I stumbled upon ATR on Sirius. I really have absolutely no reason why I should've become a big race fan since I live in Laurium, Mich ( "Home of Geo Gipp") way up in the UP of Michigan right on Lake Superior where the nearest live racing to my home is Arlington Park or Canterbury Park....a good 8-10 hr drive from my home.

Thank You Steve.....
clambeau,

Couldn't answer appropriately on drive back from Louisville yesterday but cannot begin to properly express how much I appreciate this. It's always gratifying to hear from people that say listening to ATR or being on DT has helped them become better horseplayers, but especially heartening to hear that someone completely unaware of racing found the show spinning the dial and developed an interest. All of us can guarantee the game's future by introducing it and its' pleasures to our friends. It's an honor and priviledge for me to present a platform for that endeavor and both rewarding and motivating to know it finds purchase.

Thanks for the exceedingly kind compliment..
Steve
