Okay, so I’ve been following harness racing for a while now, and the name Jason Bartlett keeps popping up. I decided to dig into this guy’s career and see what all the fuss was about. Here’s what I found out.
First off, I started by watching some races. I mean, you can’t really understand a driver without seeing them in action, right? So I went to the track, and I also watched some recorded races at Yonkers Raceway. It’s quite the experience, to feel the energy of the crowd and the power of the horses. Every time Jason Bartlett was racing, I paid special attention. Watching him in the winner’s circle was a common sight, honestly. Dude’s good.
Then, I did some research. I signed up for the U.S. Trotting Association. I got member benefits and some pretty good deals on data, which was useful. I wanted to learn about his track records and performance statistics.
- Joined the U.S. Trotting Association: I wanted to get some insights about harness racing.
- Tracked Bartlett’s Performance: Started following his races and noting his wins.
- Celebrated His Wins: He won 13 times over two nights! That’s some serious skill.
I also followed the winter meet at The Meadowlands. The competition there is fierce, and it’s always exciting to see how drivers like Bartlett perform under pressure. It seems like he really shines in these high-stakes races.
Then there’s the Harness Racing Museum & Hall of Fame in Goshen. Turns out, Bartlett reached a victory milestone the same week I visited the museum. The museum’s a real gem, by the way. It’s packed with history, and it really gives you a sense of the sport’s legacy. Learning that Bartlett was from Goshen made his achievements feel even more significant.
Diving into the Numbers
Next, I looked into the numbers. Thirteen wins over two nights – seven on one night and six on the next. That’s just insane! It’s clear that Bartlett’s not just lucky; he’s consistently performing at a high level. I found that he has ranked among the Top 10 in North American harness racing in wins and purses multiple times. This guy is a serious competitor.
But it’s not just about the stats. I also read up on his background. Did you know he started racing at the Topsham Fair track when he was just 17? And he was a basketball player, too. It’s interesting to see how different paths can lead to a successful career. Then he was marked with a Hall of Fame Induction, which is incredible.
So, after all this, I’m even more impressed with Jason Bartlett. He’s not just a top driver; he’s a dedicated athlete who’s achieved a lot in his career. It’s been fascinating to learn about his journey, and I’ll definitely be following his races more closely in the future.
