Funny   I'd say exactly in the order you have them. Now, as for big time. Top 3, especially Brett should be quite serviceable, capable drivers on a relatively big stage and may have some great moments. I would say they will have the talent of a Todd McCarthy using him as an example. Best young driver I have seen last 15 years, essentially exploding right out of his teenage years is Scotty Zeron.

 There should be some kind of mentor program. If I was a young driver I'd love to have an experienced driver like Simon Allard take me under his wing.

Beckwith and Hanners already have a guiding influence up at Saratoga.  Whether they heed his advice is up to them!

I have met Brett Beckwith and Luke Hanners in the Saratoga paddock. They both have won with horses I am a part of and Todd McCarthy has too.

Is Todd better than Andrew?  Inquiring minds want to know!

Johnathon Ahle....man has this kid improved.

And he still has value. He shows up at the Big M, Harrahs and Pocono, freehold, Rosecroft and Ocean ( Where, thank you Johnathon, you were very good to me.

Lots of miles of late.
