A few questions about this guy...
1. Why did he take all his horses from Jim King a while back? They sold Shartin and that was it.
2. How much do we think he paid for that new one from down under? Duke of Cornwall looked impressive in that Q in the slop.
3. Why give a horse that he himself said was a "rather large" investment to Tahnee Camilleri? Unless you know she's got the "magic touch". Why not give it to an experienced trainer?
-
She hasn't done to bad, who would ya give it to Burke? Just kidding. But why not?

BURKE IS NOT INTERESTED IN THE DOWN-UNDER HORSES. YOU SEE HIM BUYING EVERYWHERE EXCEPT FOR DOWN UNDER. WHY? WHO KNOWS?

Here is a win in NZ last December which was his 2nd last in NZ. Apparently went to Aussie and ran twice there and then they shipped him over. Lightly raced. Must have had a few problems, looks like he's a big boy.
Little green in the stretch but won for fun.

Maybe he is trying to get in her knickers.

He way overpaid for that! ngc3 ngc3
-
New horse up next. Stud or dud?
-
Probably somewhere between.

You got it! Wasn't a dud, but I wasn't impressed for what he probably cost.
-
off that trip he raced super, look at his last quarter
-
Looks like someone bet their brother tonight
-
Interesting drive for a 1-5 shot.
-
Only his 5th start for the year. Why scorch the horse? He has a lot of conditions that he fits and a long career ahead of him. The man puts his money up and buys nice horses. Shartin made him 3 Million and he sold her for 1 million. I think he's doing just fine.
-

That's the issue I have and that race was clearly a watch only. But at 1-5 and never put him in play.
-
Who says you have to bet a race where he looked like he was going to be a prohibitive favorite?
-
Many drivers just float land the 4 or 5 hole then come without abusing the horse.
The qua said he was ready, he took a lot of early action. Todd goes to front and Andrew ducks and doesnt remotely tr to improve his posiyion un 3/4s of the race is over.
Send Andrew back down under ,, just another criminal in the game.

Didn't bet, but a lot of people did. That's the point. It was a no try until the last 1/8 of a mile to pick up minor scraps. Horse closed like an monster, probably wins if he's not taken out of the action from the gate.
-
go figure
anyone should have seen this was possible especially from that post
fyi, horse made up lots of ground but he was flat the last 1/16 of a mile
yes his qualifier was good but the first half fractions were super soft
bet him next week!!!
-
I think he will be a nice horse no question, but stakes caliber? I'm not so sure about that. And if he isn't a win the Open 10 times a year type horse, they way overpaid for him.

what did they pay?
-
This was owner's statement in article, so who knows. I'd guess in the $250k range at least.
“He was a rather large investment and I need to get him over here to evaluate whether he has stakes ability before February,” Poillucci said

Everyone must know she's got the good shit. The girl that works for Takter has a horse with her.
-
Looked pretty good tonight.
-
different strategy, he left the gate
-
Sure looks like a really nice horse!! Fits lots of conditions. Who cares what he pays? It's his money. Looks like jealousy by many. Having Shartin filled a lifetime of dreams that all wished was them.
HOW COME THE JEALOUS ONES DON'T ASK WHAT HE PAID FOR HER? WHY? BECAUSE HE DID; T PAY A LOT AND MADE MILLIONS.
-
I did wonder what he paid for Shartin, whatever it was he clearly made a nice piece. I'm interested in what some of these imports cost. I could care less what he spends his money on. I love you assholes that think it's jealousy just because you are interested in what a horse costs. Go suck a dick asshole. Horse looked good last night, which proves the point that they fucked the public last week with a no try effort. That's what qualifiers are for. I'm aware the horse fits many classes, but you don't spend well over 6-figures to fit NW classes. There are hopes of FFA stakes at that point. If you don't like the discussion don't join in.

Why did he leave the kings
-
I asked that before and no one had an answer. I'd love to know what went south. They made a lot of money together and then just parted ways.
-
Many owners move around. I believe it happened at the beginning of covid. Could have been a downsizing for he had too many. I saw many were sold so It's not like he moved them all to a different trainer. I see he just recently sold another one so he may want to keep a select few. The guy is not afraid to spend and also move on if they don't pan out as expected. I give him credit.

I agree he seems to do well with his purchases. But they had a lot of success to just part ways so quickly.

So didn't Gisselle and Brady
-
That was a good mile for DUKE OF CORNWALL in those conditions at Philly yesterday. I think he is a very nice horse, has a lot to prove if he is going to be Grand Circuit FFA type.
-
Looked very good yesterday
-
This looks like a REAL NICE horse. Will easily make 6 figures before he has to race against top horses. Looks real good so far.
-
Nice mile at Plainridge today. Horse still has to be a disappointment for the buyer.
-
Just watched the replay. He won in 49.2 EASY. This owner had Shartin and she has the track record in 48.1. Who knows how good he can be but this looks like a serious horse.
