Is Bret Beckworth the next John Campbell or Izzy Estrada?

I do think he will eventually be a Grand Circuit guy.  Above average driver and well spoken for someone at this point is his career.

He's done well so far at such a young age, however we are talking about being leading driver at Saratoga, and co-leading driver at Plainridge with a driver over 60 years old, not exactly great driving colonies. He's making a nice living right now, so there's no rush to take a shot with the big boys, just hope he's saving his money.

Astonihingly mediocre at the Big M despite getting better rides than others.

No match for
Ahle
Irvine
Boyd
Herschberger
Huckabone

Come to think pf it. May only have been better than Tyler Miller

He will never be in the category of John Campbell. Take him out of Saratoga and Plainridge without his father's gassed up horses he is just another driver.

He has all the credentials to have a great career.

Young ( only 22 and still learning)
natural talent . Very quiet in the bike
Amazing hard work ethic.

I don’t understand this message board…you’ll have a subject about track closings and harness racing on a death spiral then the next topic about up & coming drivers , young guns etc,,,,…the next Campbell, lol
yet there will not be harness racing within the next 5 years on the east coast …. GURAL will pass on within 5-7 years & tracks decouple…I don’t get it…smh

Brett is well spoken and comes from a Racing family. Hard working and keeps his head down. As long as he stays on this path
he will make a big splash in the Harness game. Fine young man

Who made more money in 2024--Brett or Aaron?

Who would you have drive your horses--Brett or Aaron?

Braxten Boyd puts horses in a position to get the most out of them. He has to go up against Bartlett, Nap, Kakely at Poconos so he doesn't always have the best option in a race. He can read a program and race accordingly.

He seems to be able to keep one alive better than those other younger drivers.
