Default Congrats to Derby Trail

ONE MILLION posts, all started from a group of former ESPN posters rounded up by our General, Steve Byk.

And that makes almost 99 out of a hundred not mine.

BTW more than one out of every 118 is one of yours.

Justin Dew alerted me to the approaching 1,000.000 during Triple Crown season but I forgot about it! I know that other social media settings have taken some of the vitality from forums, so I'm thankful for all contributors here that collectively respect and enjoy the game wholeheartedly.

Am very proud that we not only have a terrific group of serious players and industry stakeholders assembled, but of all the friendships and unions that have been forged through DT, of the unparalleled success of DTers on the Tourney scene and the large number that have entered the game as owners.

On to 2,000,000!

Steve

Congratulations Steve and I'm proud to be a part of this group. I'm hopeful that at least some of my own contribution to the total has been of at least some value on occasion.

Congrats DT....I must admit that without this forum, its members, and At The Races, my interest in this wonderful sport would have faded long ago.

I lift my glass.....cheers, and on to another million

in the black since I started to come around these parts....thanks to all, especially Byk Boss man. It's amazing how a man I've never met can have affected my life in such a positive way. Not only is he sharp as a tack, but his parents taught him how to share and play well with others.

Congrats Steve and all the DTer's. I found my may here about 3 years ago after flipping through the dial on the satellite radio and finding Steve and At the Races. It actually brought me back into thoroughbred racing after a 10 year hiatus ....now I have someone who I can tell my wife who is to blame.

Alot had changed in those 10 years and this and the radio show sped up the relearning curve and increased the depth of my understanding of one of the greatest sports there is....thanks again Steve and DT.

I dedicate the next million to him.

I barely knew the guy and can't get him out of my mind. It's just not fair.
