ATR: Steve Byk
 

Steve, Thanks for the Poly picks at Keenland. Keep up the great work and all of us DT peeps should have the greatest Breeders Cup ever.

Thanks. Too kind.. I've had fun sticking with KEE this meet. Have had some success and think overall it was a solid 3 weeks. Hope everyone who incorporated my thoughts into their play did well!

As for next week, I will do my utmost to bring the most informative and insightful guests available to the air every day. Clockers like Gary Young; everyone at DRF whose opinions people appreciate including Crist and Beyer; Euro specialists, et all... And of course owner/trainer/rider guests as well...

Will do everything I can to try to get everyone prepared to do well and be entertained at the same time... If there is anything you all think of that would enhance Cup Week broadcasts, please contribute your ideas here/now! I'll do what I can to make them happen...

Just make sure the guy who came on today at 5:00 never comes back.

That was my favorite segment...

Get the east coast Godolphin guy (I think his name is Meeks) on he was very insightful before the Saratoga meet. If you listened to him you should of had a lot of Ex. and Tri's with their runners.

That's Rick Mettee and indeed he was terrific when he came on. Can actually get Saeed bin Suroor while out there too. Met him at Belmont this year and he's a very nice guy and said he'd be happy to come on any time. I know people scoff at him as 'trainer' of all these far flung Godolphins, but the guy flies around like a maniac checking in on the strings here and in Europe.

Nick Tammaro was great Friday introducing coverage of the 3 Sprints and Dirt Mile.. Doug Salvatore will cover the 4 Juvenile races next week.. Kate Miller (William Hill), Alan Shuback (DRF) and Julian Muscat (The Times) all will offer insights on the Euro entrants and the Turf, F&M Turf, Mile and Marathon.. And Steve Haskin handles the Classic and Distaff...

Have a safe trip Steve and thanks for all the info. I don't have to tell you to have a good time because look where you are going, I know you will be in heaven.
