Default Steve, many thanks for a great Saratoga

Steve,

it was great meeting you a Carolina BBQ and just wanted to thank you for your coverage of this sport as well as Saratoga in particular. Between ATRAB and this forum you've brought us all closer to the Toga action as well as each other....well except for a few combatives that go at each other tooth and nail.

But I guess it wouldn't be a forum without opinions.

I'm sure you'll get some much needed rest although if you're like me, even from where I sit in SC, this is a sad day as it's over 10 months until openning day.

Thank a bunch Steve,

Spyder from SC

I'll third it.

That picnic table beside Carolina has become the gathering place for the "IN" crowd at Saratoga.

A well-deserved success for Steve ... a real mensch.

I gave him best host of the meet on the wrap up thread, but it goes beyond that.
The guy basically feeds more folks for free than any charity. He has folks there at the tables all day long bothering him for things all day long.
He provides some with housing, and gives our board members a central location in which to meet and gather.
There isn't much else to say really, and it woud be nice if people found some way to attempt to thank him for what he does, which is really underappreciated.
I don't know what exactly we could do for him, but an attempt is always better than no attempt.
I think I have an idea, so everyone could message me if interested. Steve will pop on this thread and say its not necessary, because thats how he is.
But I have an idea about what we might do as thanks. Pm me and I will tell you about it.
