19-year-old William Carter currently racing at Rosecroft?

Better than Ahle and Roberts?

Please chime in!

Ahle is the real deal.  Roberts never did improve and is average at best.  Carter looks to have some potential!

Billy is a nice kid. Comes from a family of horsemen not sure he will ever be a TT but looks competent and handles a bad actor well

He is improving very quickly. Need to make sure it is JR. when betting. Daddy been racing for years and not very good.

Carter spent last summer at Ocean Downs and batted 178... any other questions. Has a very low ceiling. Roberts the best of a bad Ocean Downs/Rosecroft group along with Porter and Foster. Neither of these three can cut it at Dover for real money and that is very telling.

As for Ahle, he is probably the best of the entire group moving forward, but is now finding M1 much more difficult over the last month and will be gone once Tetrick, Gingras and Zeron are back full time Fri/Sat.

.178 for an 18 yr old and no power behind him is actually really good.

Not at Ocean Downs and the kid has a family history in the sport. Rosecroft/Ocean as a ham and egger is as far as he goes versus comparing hi to somebody like Brett Beckwith in the same age category..... no contest.

Let’s be honest. Beckwith came with a lot more family power behind him

Brett also got drives from many of those who knew the family well from Saratoga and Plainridge and he took full advantage of this. Brett would actually warm up a few of his drives in the past too. Does he still do this now, I really don’t know.

Brett Beckwith and William Carter are on two different driving planets, and always will be, family history or not. Brett shows natural talent, patience and hands in the bike, these other kids only know one way, to the front and air it out hoping to last on the front end. Talent gets power, plain and simple.
