Borth and Boyd are at a different level.

Ahle and/or Beckwith both could be decent, but are not even close to the other two.

Cutting is not even close to cutting it, relative to this group.

Adam Moeykens has improved a lot in the past 6 months, something about 1 in a 100 harness drivers ever do...improve at any point.

Sorry, Mohawk is a step below the meadowlands and too many 'over the hill' drivers! 

Boyd had difficulty winning races with some of the "better" trainers at pocono in 2023.  Beckwith the best by open lengths.  Saratoga and Plainridge!

Boyd has the right attitude towards the trainers, listens, good hands, takes care of the horse. I think his mind is on the little girl, not winning.👩‍❤️‍💋‍👨🤯

Boyd, Braxten   248   26   10%   31   13%   23   9%   0.205   32%   -24%   $324,662   $1,309
Ahle, Johnathan   301   25   8%   31   10%   28   9%   0.171   28%   -15%   $423,969   $1,409

Tougher driving colonies at plainridge and Saratoga than pocono. As mentioned earlier, Boyd had difficulties at pocono in 2023. Just for fun, who was/will be driving at pocono in 2024 and who drove there in 2023??
