Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted July 15, 2020 Journalists Share Posted July 15, 2020 Steve Byk, whose daily “At The Races With Steve Byk” radio show on Sirius XM Satellite is the sport’s longest running Thoroughbred news magazine program, has been named the winner of the 2020 Bill Handleman Memorial Award for outstanding coverage of last year’s GI TVG.com Haskell Invitational. Inaugurated in 2012, the Handleman Award honors outstanding media coverage of the Haskell. “Steve’s dedication to the sport, his passion for it and his ability to popularize Thoroughbred racing on a national platform were reflected in his broadcasts of the 2019 Haskell,” said John. F. Heims, Monmouth Park’s Director of Racing and Racing Secretary. “Racing fans have learned that he is a ‘must-listen’ for any big race on the calendar.” The award honors the late Bill Handleman, one of New Jersey’s top sportswriters for nearly three decades for the Asbury Park Press. Monmouth Park also announced that it has been authorized to put an additional 500 general admission tickets on sale for Saturday’s TVG.com Haskell Stakes, with the release of those tickets starting at 6 p.m. Wednesday at www.monmouthpark.com.
