Another Grand Slam at the Meadowlands, last night
-
Who let the Dogs Out.!!!
-
He was shit Friday. They are favoring him on Saturdays. So sick of this guy already. 12th race was fixed. Bartlett and Miller must've had a bet on BB. They all looked at each other coming to the wire. Disgusting
-
He is flat out great except it.

That's funny. So why does he only drive at 2 shit tracks? He's not that good if he can only get drives at Saratoga and Meadowlands. Oh...and Batavia which was the other dump. Let's see him compete with the big boys!

BB has stardom written all over him. Best new American born driver I’ve see in last 10+ years. Drives a trotter better than a pacer that’s how you know he’s good.
-
I don't ever remember a 21 year old winning 600 races in a year, no matter what track, and he will top that again this year. Step aside for the new Big Dog.

The trotter must be 1/4

Beckwith just win the Open with Jaymes horse..Stallbomb 2nd at odds-on Exacta - $22.00.. like shooting fish in a barrel

Beckwith dominates the Trot races on Friday nights at the swamp

Stratton did in 2008, he had 300+ at both Monticello and Yonkers that season.

I don't think it matters much, but reality is this. It is unfair to anybody who puts up those numbers consistently to say it's because of other reasons. There are truths galore with this topic. Yes Bret drives "power." Whether his father's horses, or somebody else's. So absolutely that contributes to making him look extra good. But anyone that knows anything about harness racing, or has driven in races before, knows it's difficult to win. Everyone talks like they could hop on the bike and get these horses to respond the same way he does. I got news for you, I can speak from experience. And I say he is super talented. People can also say it's his family's business so it's easy for him to win all these races. Well guess what, there are many incredibly talented drivers out there who would do well whether he was born into the business, or just plied his trade. So yes, he is literally a kid in a candy store. But I'll say it again. Anyone that knows harness racing, or has driven in races knows that much like many that have come before him, he does have a gift.

How many horses has Melissa or Mark raced at the swamp ? Kid drives for everyone he’s just good period .

Are Monticello and Yonkers “real” racetracks?? 73cv.2
More of an accomplishment for Stratton as it is tougher to win races with cheaper horses than good ones!!
-
Yonker's is for real. Good horses race where the money is. Don't kid yourself. A track doesn't have to be a mile track to be tough.

We're talking about the quality of horses!
John Campbell said it is more difficult to win races with "cheaper" horses than 'better' horses!

Would have more yesterday at Saratoga but didn’t have enough little stars next to his name for odds
-
The "kid" drove 10 winners in less than 24 hours over the weekend tmbz1
-
Yeah he wins a lot of races but he is also corrupt as they come. He takes himself out of races quite often when he's the favorite. Saratoga has the most breakers than ANY OTHER TRACK. Mohawk next

Yeah, if the kid wasn't so corrupt, he'd have a driving average of .850 and a win% of 70%....stop 11.wj

Here's an idea. Why don't some of you cut to the chase, and head up and service both
the boy and the old man simultaneously. Save the wear and tear on your keyboards. tmbz1

Your absolutely correct
Dose that mean he’s good??
The kid as you call him correctly at 22
But fun fact Brett didn’t even want to do anything with horses two short years ago
He had his sights on going to school for basketball
He NEVER spent any time at all in the barn At ALL
Your so sharp
You have noticed most of bretts winners my grandmother could have driven and win with

So what does that mean, because he didn't decide to drive horses until he was 18, that he isn't good? He got his first parimutuel win 4 years ago and who cares if he never mucked stalls or did one up? You better get use to the"Kid"..gonna be around a long time

Your right stupid
The rest of all horsemen of all time are no comparison
Ask him what is wrong with your horse or how to fix it
He’ll say 🤷

This kid is the longest thing against being corrupt. This is an insane statement.

I would think if you're a competent trainer, you wouldn't need the driver to hang your horse for you or depend on you're driver " how to fix it".. or tell you what's wrong with your horse..alot of wanna be's out there
-
Years ago, you had to be a good horseman to be a trainer today you have to be a good chemist to be a trainer.

Or just a salesman. Sitting in grandstands telling owners what the trainers that are working are doing wrong

Horses will do things behind the gate, sitting in a hole, and finishing the mile that can't be seen very well on TV, or duplicated by the trainer in a training mile.
So the driver can be a great help.
In rare occasions a trainer may ask an opposing driver
"When my horse was following you, and was right on your helmet was he breathing ok"?

Update, 19 winners in the last 48 hours.

Driving at a lot tougher tracks than Aaron Merriman too!
Is Brett better than Aaron?
IMO=YES!
Can Brett win the national dash title over Aaron?
I hope so, but time will tell!
-
Let’s see how many Mark or Melissa have in at the meds Friday night . Answer Zero . Brett will win a few no doubt without family help so shut the F up
-
It's obvious this guy calls all the shots at Saratoga. All the other drivers are a bunch of scared pussies obviously. It's out of control honestly. They have made this track unplayable.
Only a moron would make this statement.
-
What about the 6th today at the spa? Mitchell parks him Brett puts him away up the backside looks like a sitting duck and puts Devaux away with a fresh horse. These boys at Saratoga can't even park the kid and beat him.
