Default Thank You Steve Byk!

Was going to PM him, but wanted to let every one know what a great guy Steve is (as if we all didn't know already.)

Received my package already today for lucking out and winning the p6 contest at AQU last week..

Got a cool DRF hat, Eng's book on Tracks and Racinos, Crist's Exotic Betting book (been looking forward to that) and a DRF shirt that would have fit me in Jr. High School (but my wife loves it!)

Steve, thanks again for all the hard work you put in so we have a show to listen to and a site to hang out at..

-Chris

Yeah I won a contest last year and was blown away at how fast he shipped the goods out and threw something in he did not have too. Lots of time and effort on this place for no monetary gain says he loves what he does and it does not go without notice..................

A very generous guy. I didn't even win a contest. I just kept score in one and he sent me a bunch of stuff that I was proud to get.

Thx all for the kind words.. All too happy to fuel the fires of TB fandom with swag! And DRF a big and generous source to us of books and more with the same mindset.. Everyone here makes it fun.

Kudos from Cashew Chicken land. My daily routine revolves around "At the Races" 3pm Central time. Went Christmas shopping sporting my Woodbine hat I won earlier this year. People in this part of the country were really impressed. Thanks Steve!

Hey, a late congrats on winning!

I need to thank Steve too.....

I won the Travers contest last year and he not only sent me a DT hat but a 2nd hat, signed by a ton of jocks and trainers who were there that day.

It's very cool and one of those things that, if my house were on fire? I'd grab quickly.

So since i didn't nominate him for Person of the Year (and now have Catholic guilt which just ruins everything ), cheers to Mr. Byk, an angel.
