Bret has the best chance by far. He's getting big-time exposure and it's not going to his head. PLUS HE:S GOOD.  I've seen him winning races for not only the top stables but for the smaller ones too. He's in demand where he goes. Can't say that for all listed and some don't travel.  Besides Stg and  Plainridge I see him traveling and winning at the Meadowlands, Freehold, Harrahs, and I think even Dover in the winter. He's a worker

Attitude also will affect his future. And he has a great one. Some others listed can rub people the wrong way.

Time will tell but my money is on Bret.

There should be some kind of mentor program. If I was a young driver I'd love to have an experienced driver like Simon Allard take me under his wing.
For real? Simon would take them alright every inch

Agree but got a huge headstart with Mark behind him, like McNair in Canada

Austin has been improving over the summer. Patients are tuff to develop in the beginning, it will develop in time if the guy is willing to work on getting better. The guys that blame the horses for the lack of results, will be "hacks" until they are out of opportunities!

First question. I believe Todd is more talented that Andy (McCarthy) Also, I was not referring to Todd as a young up and comer, I meant that he represented the level some of the young drivers mentioned at the start if the thread. I feel as if Todd is someqwhere to 25 driver bur not top ten and thats where I think Brett Beckwith and Brad Hanners can rise to.

 Won the rising star award up in Canada, will be on a gazzed up Allard horse within the next 5 years, if he stays with it & shows the same improvement...
