He can go a long way up the list but to break into the best 10 ever may be a stretch.
Well,hes only 22 If he keeps his nose clean, 40 years gets him to 62. 400-500 wins a year..16,000-20,000 plus what he already has in the bank..JMO..I think so

Does he like to bet?
Doesn't appear so, he's trying to win as many races as he can.

Unfortunately, harness racing will not exist when he turns 40.

That may be true, but by then, the kid will be a multi-millionaire (head down-nose clean) so he's got nothing to worry about

There's been talk of gloom and doom for some time but I agree, the end is in sight.
I'm old . Might not see it but look at who benefits from its existence. Better hope
Musk doesn't get bored and dig into the $$ being handed out in Harness racing.
He'd really have a field day. ;D

I really dont think that much comes from the state. They take tax $$ out of the handle for their pockets, exactly what do they pay for, at least in NY? Starting fees are supposed to go to drug testing, so what do they contribute exactly? Its the casinos who are supporting the purses and track maintenance as they should, that was the deal and racing's concession to allow them to get a casino license. The racing contributes to keeping open space for farms, horse and hay, agriculture, and many jobs in different sectors. Dont see why the state would have a major issue, its more PETE and the casinos that want racing to go away.

The kid drove flawlessly Friday night at the swamp . Gets parked by a joke Ginsburg the Mile . Bret never panicked or jumped up and down and just line drove to the wire no whip .

  Where have you even Brett never uses a whip never really urges one usually just hangs on and worries about how he’s going to pull it up after the race

The kid reminds me of Timmy T when he first came up.  Cool, calm, collected and hugely talented.  tmbz1
