This has all the makings of a career year for young driver Brett Beckwith. The talented pilot has a mount in all three of Sunday's major races on the Spirit of Massachusetts program at Plainridge Park and is driving one of his mom's horses in a race named after his late grandfather, the Bert Beckwith Memorial. "It's a great card and a great day for racing and the fans at Plainridge," said Beckwith. "You've got horses like Twin B Joe Fresh on the card for people to see in person, and of course I'm excited have a horse to drive in all three major stakes." The biggest race on the afternoon program is the $250,000 Spirit of Massachusetts (race nine) for the top older trotters in North America, and it has drawn a field of nine with Beckwith getting his chance with Air Ferrari J. "He's such a classy horse and he's great-gaited," said Beckwith, describing the 5-year-old son of Walner from the Tony Alagna stable. Beckwith has been Ari Ferrari J's regular pilot this year while racing primarily at the Meadowlands where he won an Open with the stallion in 1:50 1/5, a career-best clocking on June 6. "He drew a great spot," said Beckwith, a regular on the Plainridge circuit who knows what is needed to win over the five-eighths-mile track. "He's got the speed and that's important at this track." Ari Ferrari J has early speed, but Beckwith suggested he'd be good tracking top horses as well, and that could be necessary on Sunday with the field overloaded with class. Last year's second- and third-place finishers in this race - Chapercraz and Logan Park, respectively - have drawn posts two and three and each are blessed with an abundance of early speed as well. Chapercraz gets his first good draw in some time for trainer Ron Burke. Logan Park has returned to North America following a trip to Sweden for the Elitlopp and regained winning form for trainer Robert Fellows. The 7-year-old by Archangel has captured consecutive Preferred events at Woodbine Mohawk Park in preparation for his return to Plainridge. Trainer Marcus Melander has a pair of solid contenders, but they didn't draw as well, with Crawford and Cutler Trot champion Periculum in post six and Aetos Kronos landing post eight. Trainer Burke will also second out a pair with his Lexus Kody, a 1:50 3/5 winner in his most recent outing at the Meadowlands, starting from post seven. Ake Svanstedt generally shows up with solid horses for this race each year and this time will be no exception with Up Your Deo (post one) and Get A Wish (post four) giving him two solid chances. ► Sign up for our FREE DRF Harness Digest Newsletter Beckwith noted the appearance of Twin B Joe Fresh on the program, and the defending Horse of the Year looks to build on her 2025 resume in the $100,000 Clara Barton (race seven) following a vicious effort in capturing the Dorothy Haughton at the Meadowlands on July 12. Carded as race seven, the Clara Barton may be just a six-mare field, but there could be fireworks with Twin B Joe Fresh starting from post four and Sylvia Hanover, last year's Clara Barton champion, landing post five. Beckwith expects to have more than a say in this contest, getting the assignment behind Talk Curdy To Me, a Jeff Cullipher-trained mare that finished third in this race a year ago. "She's no slouch," said Beckwith, recognizing the competition but well aware that Talk Curdy To Me has raced and been competitive at this level. The duo has experience over this surface, with Beckwith guiding the 5-year-old daughter of Betterthancheddar to a 1:50 3/5 victory on June 10 in a $25,000 Open Handicap for fillies and mares. Talk Curdy To Me drew the pole position. The Clara Barton will be the third straight match-up between Twin B Joe Fresh and Sylvia Hanover this year. On June 28, Sylvia Hanover upset the Horse of the Year in the Perfect Sting at the Meadowlands, rallying off her cover in the stretch. In last week's Dorothy Haughton post positions played a role in the event as Twin B Joe Fresh used the rail to her advantage while Sylvia Hanover started from post nine and was forced to work hard to gain the front. Rounding out the Clara Barton field are Valar Dohaeris (post two), Turn The Page N (post three) and My Girl EJ (post six). The $75,000 Bert Beckwith Memorial (race eight) appears to be a wide-open event with the 23-year-old sitting behind Fourever Boy from post four. "He's a solid horse and is coming into the race in good shape," said Beckwith, who drives for his mom Melissa's stable. "I like the draw." Fourever Boy's post will likely give his driver enough options to work out a favorable trip. "Ideally he's better off a helmet," said Beckwith. Now driving regularly at Plainridge, Saratoga Harness and the Meadowlands on weekends, Beckwith's career has grown immensely this year. "You can only get better driving against the best drivers in the sport," Beckwith said, recognizing the experience he's gotten racing at the East Rutherford, New Jersey, mile track this year. In addition to those tracks, Beckwith plans to remain active on the New York Sire Stakes circuit and said he'll likely follow a Lindy Farms-trained sophomore trotting filly - Sonmar Pond - slated to race in the future at The Red Mile in Kentucky Sire Stakes. The Spirit of Massachusetts program begins at 2:00 p.m. (EDT) on Sunday with 11 races programmed.
