Title: Beckwith personifies sports decline
Post by: DA Inteman on June 18, 2020, 03:32:47 PM
Mark Beckwith's driving would have hall of fame drivers rolling over in their graves. The top drivers never looked behind them, they could hear a horse coming. The top drivers measured the wire winning by the least margin they could because the purse money was the same winning by a nose or twenty five lengths. They did this for the horse's health and courage. Horses stay braver if you fight them to the wire rather than asking for unnecessary speed at the end of the mile. He's a hot dog as the old-timers would say.

Looks to me that Beckwith is off to a solid start . Sour grapes maybe ?

and if he gets caught at the wire, then he is cheating. Cross let one roll also, big deal. Instead teach the horse to slow down at the wire? Two sides to every coin.

He is a good horseman. Knows when to hold and when to fold. Bit of a cowboy reputation back in the day, he had some sad back history. Never questioned any drive for us about not trying/cheating.  Makes mistakes, yes, and he will admit it. Maybe not as sharp as he was, we all get old and lose a step or two. Always open to anyone who has a question on a horse issue.

I had a horse in a race at Yonkers. Beckwith was driving the favorite and my horse was the second choice. In the stretch Beckwith's horse was in front and was going to win mine was clearly going to finish second when Beckwith stopped driving his horse and yelled to my driver who had conceded the win to "drive that horse." It was too late to start up again and that's how they finished but he clearly wanted to get the favorite beat. That was not the only time that I was told that he yelled at other drivers in a similar fashion.
