Ron Burke is bad for harness racing. I'm not saying he's doing bad, I'm just saying he's bad for the sport.
He's part of the problem in harness racing. One of a few big trainers with deep pockets and big barns that can do whatever they want and put smaller barns and smaller owners out of the game.
His reaction to being told the rules says all you need to know about the guy. He genuinely thinks that the world revolves around him. The truth is that if he left the sport, nobody would really care.
The guy has 300 horses. Of course he's going to have 30 that are really good. You never hear about the other 270....
