i think we should put horses on backburner for a second and
 

take a minute of your day to say a little prayer for a successfull operation that mr byk is having this week,,,,lets face it,, with some ,,he dominates 3 hours of our life every weekday,,,and it couldnt be better,,
bowing head for you steve and wishing all the best

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.

i said for a minute,, i didnt say for good or any amount of time, a simple prayer or a thought, if you wish not to do it, by all means thats your perogitive

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!

gottcha
 

hope you pick up slack and blast a few love following guys on here as i cant read the form anymore at 94, im liucky i can see the t v still ,all good
good luck guarentee

the guarentee had a intersting thought
 

he said maybe he would try to pick up slack with the picks and such
maybe
someone could try and do the grids, with the a b c thing for the pick 5 and pick 4

just a thought

Maybe everyone could do one race.ill take the first.

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.

He will be fine, chix dig him

Hold on, face down for 2 weeks???! How is that even possible? :eek:

All the best for a speedy recovery Steve!

Hope all goes well and wishing a speedy recovery Steve!

had a co-worker who had it done twice within a year, he'll be ok ;) as for the "racing", I bet they will be "off-the-turf" for Wednesday :D quite a major line of t-storms in the Saratoga area this Tuesday evening around supper time.

Good luck, and speedy recovery

Good luck Steve!
Prayers for your speedy and successful 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.

Jeez boss. Get well soon.

Steve, best wishes on a speedy recovery.

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!

That is the oddest recovery position I ever heard of.
