Didn’t do has awesome as everyone thought he would do
-
If you're talking earnings, he did 6.2 million in 2024 and already has 6.4 million this year, so he's doing well financially.

Not my point
He’s very overrated
-
Maybe mark should have brought a couple horses with him

I think he's underrated. Best ever at 22 years old.

A 22 yr old driver making $400,000/yr is very overrated?? ngc3 ngc3

My assumption would be hes referring to the world driving championship. You must remember your going up against the best in the world. Horses and tracks you've never been to or seen! Also he is only 22! I dont think hes quite ready for the big stage but he's light years ahead of his age and has a very bright future!

agreed he’s the only successful Beckwith
-
This year, Beckwith has already surpassed last season’s purse total, with $6.41 million, and ranks fourth in North America in wins, with 525. In August, he became the youngest driver to ever win the driving title for the Winter-Spring-Championship meet at The Meadowlands, and he leads the standings at Plainridge Park while sitting second at Saratoga.

That is a false statement.
-
Way overrated. 5% of six million is 300,000 Time will tell just like the world driving championship is telling.

Brett was born into and raised in this game. Could be an advantage or disadvantage, LOL. Case in point, John Campbell (and Jim). The other case in point, Josh Marks. His uncle Richie, no offense, came up sitting behind and driving the best bred and highest priced horses money could buy. Sure, he became a "good" driver, but it was over the course of many, many years. By the time Richie was a "good" driver, he was already many years beyond where Brett is today. Today Brett is what, 22? 23? Aside from his stats, he's accomplished a lot as far as a career, already at a very young age. No, he didn't win the Hambo, but he's winning races, competing in a major SS program at various tracks, getting exposure, opportunities, and producing at tracks like the Meadowlands, and so on.
Brett is very young. He may have a lot of opportunities, he may be getting exposure on the some of the big stage-----but not like his uncle did-----but he is still very, very much in the learning stage. I think he has ability, and opportunities aside, he certainly knows how to win races, and he's learning, honing his skills, etc. He's still up and coming, and early at that. It's not like he's permanently based at the Meadowlands, or even on the grand circuit, but he's moving toward. Where he goes, and how he handles his business, potential opportunities, etc., may dictate a lot. Overrated, underrated, whatever. It's in the eye of the beholder, LOL. I don't think that has anything to do with how much he earns, takes home, etc. Talent is talent. Ability is ability. Either you have it or you don't. People use stats to back up an opinion. Perhaps because they don't have the ability to develop and have a quality opinion in the first place. Overrated vs. underrated, I don't think he's either. LOL.

He's already past 6 mill. But he's on pace to do 8 million x 5% is $400,000. and you dont think he gets any tips? ngc3 ngc3 ngc3 ngc3 ngc3 ngc3 ngc3 ngc3 ngc3 ngc3 ngc3 ngc3 ngc3 ngc3 ngc3 ngc3 ngc3 ngc3 ngc3 ngc3 ngc3 ngc3 ngc3 ngc3 ngc3

That’s great but for as many times he’s chalk he should be winning a lot more

Just because I'd like to see you suffocated with a pillow, it doesn't mean I don't have feelings for you too. ;D

Brett is 22 years old....he's acomplished more then some drivers twice his age. Hes driving against 10 of the WORLD'S best drivers in a different country. The driving challenge has just started...instead of knocking his confidence down why not wish him luck, hes representing the USA! I truly hope that those of you who have critized him aren't parents, and if you are shame on you!!
Best of luck to Brett on the remainder of the WDC!!
-
Is this Mark or Melissa?
-
The kid is getting no stock at all to drive, to be fair
-
Is this Mark or Melissa?
Neither. But as a parent I can’t believe some think it’s ok.
-
I never criticized him and have no control over what other people have to say. I think it's a great experience for him just to be there, and no one really expected him to win.

Maybe he's one of the best in the US.
If he finishes ahead of anyone it's huge because they're possibly the best in their country.
Not very patriotic for anyone US to shit on the US representing driver.
You set aside all that, and the childish anonymous animosity, may the best man win which we all at times lose to our opponent, gamblers and horsemen...it's a fucked up thing harness racing and we'll get to that.
If the kid's success brings a level of integrity, a new invigorated audience to HR, that's awesome.
If not necessarily he but those that actually ruined the harness game cause it to tap out once and for all, sounds like if he doesn't squander his money, and is healthy, he has a world of options virtually no one his age who didn't inherit it has.
Why do we have jealous twats here then? ;D
-
Some of them obviously have lost bets on him because he does lose on alot of favorites as do all good driver because they tend to be overbet. Gambling and discussing politics seem to be out the worst in some people.
-
Integrity and Beckwith should not be in the same sentence. Why did his uncle Richie get out of the game?

If we're failing with gambling and politics, let's pray - that should do it!

Hogwash! Better than a record clip?? ngc3 ngc3 you're just a hater!

I've watched a lot of races with Brett Beckwith and I think he's going to become a very successful driver with a long career ahead of him. I too did not jump on thre " BB" wagon initially. But i've seen him win at every track he raced at. Beating the very best and the very worst in this game. So I wish him great luck in the future.

The trash surface again to reinforce that your a bully with the maturity level of someone in third grade. Tell us again how you know the size of Burke's cock? You should be banded.

Tell everybody how I know the size of Burke's cock because you know apparently things I don't and Burke's cock is on your tiny mind and coming out of your mouth constantly here. ngc3
You speak to third graders about sucking cock? - Fucking pedophile! ngc3

He does seem to be significantly better than Tyler Miller, Patrick Ryder, anibal borjas, all the amatuer drivers and marginally better than mark Hershberger and Ahle. Deserving leader driver
