Brett is good, but the only thing he shares with Dave is his last name. A comparison is silly, then and now. Just my 2.5 cents.

I don't know if Brett is really "good" anymore. Average at best. He is 3rd at Scioto behind Page and Noble in wins and purses and has a rancid UDRS of .233. Page gets all the Burke horses at Scioto. It will be interesting to see what happens when David comes home.

Does anyone think he'll have a problem getting drives? I'm sure he'll go to Fla to train 2 yr oldīs if he wants to. Leaving on his own terms, his talent sure hasn't diminished.

Chris Page better hope Dave doesn't take all the Burke drives.  No one in the Midwest can drive with Dave and he's passed his prime!

Page has/had a chip on his shoulder regarding Miller. Outspoken in several broadcasts at Delaware
about he's tired of hearing 'PURPLE JESUS' still in Ohio. Welcome home Dave. Sorry 'bout your luck
Chris, at least for a few more years. ;D

i think he has the best hands and best driver ever.
Just out of curiosity what are you basing that on.
In big money races John Campbell was far and away the best in history, no one even close. John won the all the big money races when ever top driver showed up to the dance. Never made a mistake on big money races, like bumping a leg in the Hambo, his biggest mistake was Life Sign in the jug and in a split sec he regrouped and altered his plan and won. John was hands down the greatest. He made 299 mil and if the slots at tracks would have come along 15 yrs earlier he would have 400 mil.
