Title: D.Noble haters VS Burke supporters
Post by: White Rabbit on January 11, 2026, 09:42:38 AM
In sight has to how RB ‘s barn has the lowest win % & UDRS in the last 7 yrs to start the year off. He’s tied for wins with 10 of 73 but in years past , excluding few years ago when he started off the year in the penalty box , he’s always been on the in the high 20’s by this time .
D.Noble on the other hand is making two trainers look better then RB,
Peter Stratton, who I see on a regular base’s here at home & no judgement but he doesn’t look or present and operation like he should be 10 for 30.
So want I take from that is drivers in the past who have driven for him judge him by his appearance and rail shot his horse . Where as from what  I’ve seen of Danny the few times this year we have went to NFLD is the Cole Trickle moto , Days of Thunder, there’s nothing I can’t do with a race car. In Danny’s case a race horse. The other trainer whom I don’t know is
C.Dermanend. These are just two trainers who look like RB.

For the most part the horses Burke' are running now are his cheaper, low class horses who fit the conditions at wherever they're racing.. Most of these horses have low winnings percentages.

Yes, I was going to say that Peter Stratton was an auto toss in prior years.
But that’s at the Meadows.  That was where he raced most of the time.  Now, he’s hasn’t raced at the Meadows in 2026, but all at Northfield, so maybe it’s Noble.

I think Stratton was a Monti regular for many years?

As of now Burke horses seem to be auto toss.
When would Noble have time to help Peter, he’s here in Pa and Nobles in Southeren Ohio so that ridiculous .
