He comes from a harness racing family, several generations. His career has taken off pretty fast, and that's compounded by him getting a bit of a late start. Like anyone, he's got to take the time, pay his dues, and put in the work. Give him another 15,000 drives and see how he matures, grows, what he does with the experience, etc. He's got a lot more time to learn and a lot more learning to do...Even then you cannot be throwing his name around in the same sentence, not even in the same story, with the two words---"John" and "Campbell"---that is moronic. He's got talent. Wally Hennessy really likes him. He's got a good future, maybe a very good one, if he puts in the time and does the work. A lot of 20-somethings had very good futures. Only a few become truly great.
I watched Boyd this past weekend.He is Phil Hudon south.
Brett just sat in and didn’t leave from rail at 1/9 Race 9 today on Swiss Cotton. Not the best look and horse stays in the class.
watch the 2nd race … horse has 5 wins … tell me he didn’t rip to 6th at 8-5 and blatantly finish 2nd to stay in the winners of 2 but not more than 5
That horse would stay in the class with the claiming price.
We watch from out here he has all the tangibles to be very good for along time to come . Doesn’t use the whip much either horses just go for him . Watch the meds last night with that bomb he drove in the 5th or 6th race duck him in and angled mowed them all down barely moving . Good hands might become great .
He will never be in the category of John Campbell. Take him out of Saratoga and Plainridge without his father's gassed up horses he is just another driver.
Brett works incredibly hard and is a fine young driver. The reference that he can only drive his fathers horses at Saratoga just shows your ignorance. He gets drives in practically every race wherever he goes.
