Brett Beckwith

[Mr.Turnpike]

   Didn’t do has awesome as everyone thought he would do

[MTP1972]

If you're talking earnings, he did 6.2 million in 2024 and already has 6.4 million this year, so he's doing well financially.

[Mr.Turnpike]

  Not my point
  He’s very overrated

[Mr.Turnpike]

  Maybe mark should have brought a couple horses with him

[Pacer 2]

  Not my point
  He’s very overrated

   I think he's underrated. Best ever at 22 years old.

   A 22 yr old driver making $400,000/yr is very overrated??

My assumption would be hes referring to the world driving championship.  You must remember your going up against the best in the world. Horses and tracks you've never been to or seen!  Also he is only 22! I dont think hes quite ready for the big stage but he's light years ahead of his age and has a very bright future!

agreed he’s the only successful Beckwith

[Pacer 2]

This year, Beckwith has already surpassed last season’s purse total, with $6.41 million, and ranks fourth in North America in wins, with 525. In August, he became the youngest driver to ever win the driving title for the Winter-Spring-Championship meet at The Meadowlands, and he leads the standings at Plainridge Park while sitting second at Saratoga.

That is a false statement.

Way overrated. 5% of six million is 300,000 Time will tell just like the world driving championship is telling.

Brett was born into and raised in this game. Could be an advantage or disadvantage, LOL. Case in point, John Campbell (and Jim). The other case in point, Josh Marks. His uncle Richie, no offense, came up sitting behind and driving the best bred and highest priced horses money could buy. Sure, he became a "good" driver, but it was over the course of many, many years. By the time Richie was a "good" driver, he was already many years beyond where Brett is today. Today Brett is what, 22? 23? Aside from his stats, he's accomplished a lot as far as a career, already at a very young age. No, he didn't win the Hambo, but he's winning races, competing in a major SS program at various tracks, getting exposure, opportunities, and producing at tracks like the Meadowlands, and so on.

Brett is very young. He may have a lot of opportunities, he may be getting exposure on the some of the big stage-----but not like his uncle did-----but he is still very, very much in the learning stage. I think he has ability, and opportunities aside, he certainly knows how to win races, and he's learning, honing his skills, etc. He's still up and coming, and early at that. It's not like he's permanently based at the Meadowlands, or even on the grand circuit, but he's moving toward. Where he goes, and how he handles his business, potential opportunities, etc., may dictate a lot. Overrated, underrated, whatever. It's in the eye of the beholder, LOL. I don't think that has anything to do with how much he earns, takes home, etc. Talent is talent. Ability is ability. Either you have it or you don't. People use stats to back up an opinion. Perhaps because they don't have the ability to develop and have a quality opinion in the first place. Overrated vs. underrated, I don't think he's either. LOL.

       He's already past 6 mill.  But he's on pace to do 8 million x 5% is $400,000. and you dont think he gets any tips?       

[Mr.Turnpike]

 
  That’s great but for as many times he’s chalk he should be winning a lot more
