Retinal surgery not something you hear about everyday so I have to imagine that it is a serious thing. Wishing him the best possible outcome and a speedy recovery.

Something tells me the last thing Steve would want is for us to put horses on the back burner...wishing Steve the absolute best and a speedy recovery, I'm hoping to meet up and say hi later in the meet at Saratoga actually.

In the meantime I think the best way to honor him would be to post more analysis in the Selections forum and I intend on trying to pick up some of the slack, even if I could never match the incredible insights he generously offers us all so often.

Best of luck Steve, hope you're recovered by the 17th/18th when I intend to make it back to the Spa.

Hey ontheoutside -- by no means did I mean to disparage your point, I apologize for how that came off, was not my intent. By all means hopefully everyone says a prayer for Steve...good vibes all over!

My Dad has had multiple retinal surgeries. They aren't fun. Follow those doctor's recovery offers, Steve.

Wishing you all the best for a speedy recovery.

Can't help thinking about Steve. Plus this happened during Saratoga. I think it's awful and wish him the best. I can't imagine laying upside down for 2 weeks.

I was watching the races today and thought Steve is probably laying face-down. Get well soon Steve.

That is the oddest recovery position I ever heard of.

Steve posted this on his Facebook page Thursday 8/1:

"Want to thank everyone for the kind well wishes and support. Was out of it all day yesterday but feeling better this morning. Going to be a slow process. Two weeks on my right side in bed; 2 months for vision to clear. Tina is watching over me like a hawk.."

Well anytime you have to have something fixed it is serious specially for the AARP members. I know I'm breaking down and just waiting for something bad to happen.

...but GOOD LUCK AND GET WELL SOON STEVE!
