Brett Beckwith making a fool of everyone at Saratoga

[gh2009]

In the beginning most of his drives will be leftovers that other drivers choose off of or big longshots, but if he's that good, in time he'll start getting better drives.

To expect Beckwith to be another Tetrick is asking alot.

    He's certainly on course...... or ahead of it.  Barring injury looks like a HOFer to me.

[gh2009]

If it was a pro athlete, I might agree with you, but he needs to do it on the big stage over a long period of time which isn't easy to do. There are many very good drivers with tons of wins with great careers not in the Hall of Fame. Seems like you have to win some of the major races to even be considered no matter how many wins or money you've earned.

  MARK is going grand circuit?

[gh2009]

It will take time for him to become a factor, most of the better stables are already committed to certain drivers.

Does this mean Aaron Merriman doesn’t get into the Hall of Fame too??

[gh2009]

My prime example is Tony Morgan, around 17,000 wins, 2nd all-time, 140 million in earnings, never even nominated for the Hall of Fame because other than a few big stakes in Chicago hasn't won any big races. Two guys who used to drive in the US before moving to Canada who have won big races but aren't in are Jackie Mo & Luc Ouellette. Merriman has a ton of wins but is not a Hall of Fame caliber driver.

He had a win...but he burnt a bunch of money at the ridge today!   

[gh2009]

I know most people on here love him, but if they're betting him all the time, they're losing money.

If you're betting ANYONE all the time you're losing money!

[Brown jug]

lets check back in 3-5 years

[gh2009]

That's obvious, but with all the Brett Beckwith TDS on here a lot of people are totally obsessed with his every move. They are working on a vaccine for people who have it

[Birdfantammy]

Funny...He won a total of ONE race yesterday at Plainridge out of 11

I still say he is overrated.  He has talent yes but he is still no where close to being considered a top notch driver.  He drives with idiots at Saratoga..and many of his losses there are stiff jobs lol.  He can't win them all there but he definitely could with who he's driving against

Tony did win a Woodrow Wilson at The Meadowlands.

Let him go to AA first
