New trainer, Beckwith, sorry TT, he's going he's gonna light him up. 1 win already.Hopefully they have learned and won't gut him in races he doesn't  belong.

Beckwith's a 30% winning trainer.  Got to be a reason for that. Perhaps Twaddle sent him there for "freshening" much like when Ford sends his stars up to Canada for some personal Gillis "freshening".

twaddle really isnt a doper in my opinion. forever boy is probably a very nice natural horse. the dopers will push him to the next level possibly. if the lights go out during the race dont worry he will have enuff to light up the track.

That guy Beckwith out east very underated trainer. A friend sent him one a few years back with 2 bad front tendons he got them legs tight sent him back out here he beat the cheap opens back to back went on to make 75k that year. No drugs involved just a good horseman .

Please check out the bloodlines of the beckwith family.
How long has the beckwith family been in racing?
The mother’s side is the Silverman family. How long have they been involved in racing?
Ask others in the business who they are before jumping to conclusions.

Mark Beckwith is a fantastic horseman. I recall he was stabled in Maryland in the early to mid 80’s before heading to NY. He could drive as well. I raced at Freestate and Rosecroft back then. I’m sure Brett has learned well.

Mark is a great horseman who works his butt off and was told he is a great guy to work for. Was even the a leading driver at Yonkers years ago and his son Bret is amazingly talented. Took a drive down there last week. Sat near the winner's circle. It was amazing the following Bret has. It showed how he reacted to the owners and people in the winner's circle. He seemed like a nice young man with a great future ahead of him

Kid does seem to have a promising future.  And the dad can be a talented horseman and still use a little something to get an edge.  A lot of the already busted were decent horsemen, the magic potion just made them unstoppable!

Agreed. Check out Brett’s Facebook page. Ask about Uncle Billy. I’ve had the honor of being in a winner circle picture with him with a horse I owned a part of. A great experience to have live and in person.

My friends horse got no gas when Mark shipped him back out here . Told him to keep sweating the legs hot and cold and keep him in the pool and he will last and he raced 27 times earing 75,890 bucks the next year earned another 40 before being claimed for 30. Say what you want Mark is a solid horseman plenty seem to go to him with troubled or hurting horses. Brett he looks like hes sitting cool in the bike never jumps up and down and rarely tags one with the whip.Just good hands and instincts.
