Some help,is the trainer listed on the Burke horses at Northfield, the infamous Mickey Burke?
-
Ron's brother, same guy that's listed at Meadows, Northfield or Miami Valley
-
Mickey Jr. always steps up and fills in while Ron is suspended
-
It’s hysterically sad but the money grab is there until casinos decouple
-
If anything happens to Ronnie there screwed. Mickey Jr. fucked up a bagel shop in a Jewish community. ngc3 ngc3 ngc3 ngc3

The beat goes on

Mickey J has fucked up everything he touches, he's the family clown. He knows his position. Just think how Sr feels having that named after him. Nice guy when he's not bragging about something, like Sr.

Finished 1-2 in the meadows open pace this week.
Unless it was just in name only.
-
Mickey Jr is no where near the meadows right now. He's more than likely in Florida attempting to break babies
-
Burkes have as close to a monopoly as possible in the industry.
-
Without a doubt! tmbz1
-
ngc3 ngc3 ngc3 Maybe Micheal Burke is the real brains behind the operations at Burke Racing... ngc3 ngc3 ngc3
-
so saying he basically has a monopoly in the industry is he really that sharp? or does he just win because of the shear numbers in his stable. when you have the most horses in the industry your going to win a lot. i dont think he is all that people think he is. he just has a massive amount of money behind him. cant beatem buyem.
-
Dingus have you ever met Mickey J?, if you have, you know Mickey J can't shit without ok from Ronnie. Makes NO decisions, as anyone else who WORKS for Ronnie. Just another employee.
-
I think the real question is
Does he get to keep the 5% training bonus ??
Since Ron gets at least one or more positives a year = His winter vacation in Florida
maybe this is Mick Jr annual bonus tmbz1
-
Tremendous start of the year! 8) ngc3
Burke, Michael D 35 11 5 5 116,256 0.441
-
He gets a bonus just like everyone who works there. Nothing changed because Mickey J down as trainer. When he is at the farm in the winter most of his time is spent doing the track, in a warm tractor. Most of the year he spends in his truck, hauling horses. Lucky when he an play with his boat
-
why would burke be any different than any other trainer that gets suspended
just change the name to a new beard and continue on as usual

Guy would have a tough time spelling cat if you spotted him the C and T
-
Only thing Jr is good for is knowing the best place to get pizza at every track in NA.
-
Del, nothing I have said isn't the total truth. I like Mickey J, great guy. What I am saying he has NO control over anything without the ok from Ronnie. He does NOT own any part of the Burke Stables, he is an employee, as he was when he ran the bagel store in Columbus. When that died he came back home to the barn. That is a FACT!!! He knows where his home is, if he were on his own he wouldn't last 6 mo. he's not really business savvy. HE IS, the dullest knife in the Burke family, also one of the nicest, ask anyone who knows the family.
-
I do believe he is NOT welcome at the Big M.
-
so basically ron burke is a con artist. he has the gift to bullshit. he arm and hammered his way to win a few races. bullshitted his way into pockets of some people with money. now he has the money behind him to buy whatever he wants. he is able to give an extra 1,000 or 5,000 that an honest trainer may not be able to. and if they dont work out so be it they have 500 other horses or buy a new one. when you have as many horses as burkes do they are going to win a ton of races. its the law of averages. he has the most horses he better win the most races.
i think if you gave burkes stock to other trainers in the country alot would win more.

Wondering if they let him keep the 5% trainer bonus ..... I know of one instance where the paper trainer got 1% and the regular trainer took 4%
-
I'd say find another name if they didn't.
