Btett beckwith leads bruce ranger by 1 win going into the final day on friday. Good luck to both. Its good to see all the guys making some good money down there.
-
The up-and-coming young star vs the veteran driver with over 10,500 wins. It should go down to the wire. Good luck to both
-
Matty and Brett should be crushing the old man. Matty has Nickerson and Brett has his dad, and they both get the best of the drives from trainers in NY. The old veteran is still better than them both...as for now.

Was there on Friday End of day Brett was 1 up on Bruce
Now it is being said they tied because of a pos test on one of the winning horse

Ranger gets a few drives from Joe Nelson who trains for Ron Burke.
-
Yes, he does get a few drives from Joe Nelson but Joe Nelson is no Ron Burke. Most of Joe's horses from Burke drop off after being in Joe's barn for a couple of weeks. They will race much better when back in the Burke barn. As for the positive, yes they will tie as a open horse about a month ago did come up positive. That may show up in the coming weeks in FAS rulings.
-
Curious if this is the first time a track where 2 drivers who drove in nearly 900 races for the meet and are in almost all the races ends in a tie. Odds for this to happen must be very very low.
-
Stop silly to compare the two Beckwith driving horses that lay over field he should have twice as many wins
-
Today Tuesday Saratoga proves my point how many even money favorites can you have in one day
Ask 20 year old Bret beckwith
-
You forgot about the horse he won with from the 8-hole on Tuesday at 10-1. I guess that doesn't count. He has immense talent. Inside favorites on a 1/2 mile track get bet off the board everywhere.
-
Ok 10 to 1 shot he’s good
How about 7 odds on favorites that got beat
-
Tell you what smart ass why don’t you keep betting him on 10 to1 shots and tell me how you do
-
Sounds to me like there is some major jealousy here. He's 20 years old, I've never met him but I've seen some interviews and he seems like a well-educated man and he's earned $6 million this year. At 5%- it's a $300,000 salary. Just a spec less than you earn
-
Locked in with pace your such a dickhead
-
The best drivers get the better drivers
What owner with good horses would put a loser on
Every one needs to make a living
-
Agreed my point is just that for someone who had no interest a year before he became 2 nd leading driver in the county

See thestable and amac??

Looks like he has the wants to learn attitude Not just coming into it a know-it-all He has something to be proud of for sure
And I'm pretty sure he started driving junk just like all the rest
-
Turnpike forgets that Beckwith drove 4 hours each way to drive at Freehold and Batavia. Not places where his father trains and very cheap horses. He drove for anyone who listed him. And he won with a very high UDR. Even look tonight. He's driving cheap horses at the Meadowlands. The kid is a hard worker, smart, and amazingly talented. Turnpike obviously doesn't like him. I sense JEALOUSY. He's missing out watching a true talent grow.
-
Ozzy says his success is more from a changing culture than anything else. You would've never seen this during the halcyon days of harness racing. In those days, talented kids struggled to obtain qualifying drives because drivers protected their territory like a street gang.

Not to mention the meadowlands and plainridge too!
He drives for 1 and all depending on who is in each race and what drives he can get.
We all understand that his father has a questionable past!
Get over the jealousy!
Who would be your driver of choice as an owner?
Brett Beckwith
Aaron Merriman
Ronnie Wrenn Jr.
Please add other young drivers so we don't miss anyone!

You do know your wonder boy has never worked in a barn didn’t even like horses a year ago
👍 go harness racing

Working in a barn isn't exactly a glamorous or well-paying job although most drivers start out that way. I'm sure he likes horses alot more these days with over 6 million dollars in purse earnings so far this year.

I grew up in generation where you had to earn something
Not because you didn’t know what you were going to do after high school
Oh and ask him didn’t like or want anything to do with horses when he was in high school less than one year later 2 nd leading driver in states
Sounds like real talent
Even John Campbell mucked a stall before

Considering his father Mark is a longtime horseman, it surprises me he had no interest in horses growing up. lt is common to learn from the ground up starting out as a groom. Things are different now than they were 50 years ago when Campbell started out. Not sure why some people are offended because he's so successful at such a young age.
-
Again your a dickhead
Nobody is jealous just saying could you take your little tiny brain and think about how many wins some of the best all time would have started when thier 20 not to mention favorite in alot can you imagine how many wins Herve would have?

A lot of top drivers could not harness a horse, better video game kids then those of a stronger work ethic
-
Brett Beckwith is a humble and bright young talent bottom line. He puts a horse in a position to win without being a cowboy. He is very patient and gets all he can without being abusive to the horse. He has a long career ahead of him if he keeps his wits about him. Good Luck Brett!

Then Brett is a very lucky young man that he didn’t have to do it the hard way like in the past! Don’t most drivers today want the same luck. The same applies in the working world. The spoiled rich kids want everything on a platter to them too.

I don't think any knowledgeable fan can argue the kids natural talent. Numbers are huge for such a young pup.

Yes, he did! I saw a few of the drives he got in my trainer's barn. After he got through this, my trainer gave him opportunities to drive the barn's better stock and did quite well!
-
FYI, for the 'haters' here that he chooses the family stock first over other trainers, that is not 100% true. He has chosen off the family stock on many occasions.
-
Here's some info for Mr. Turnpike. I see Bret is listed to drive in the $250,000 Gran Prix invitational Pace at Yonkers on Monday. I wonder why the trainer or owner chose only him. Be honest: You can't admit that he is very talented.
