Curious though why Burke doesn't buy many New Zealand horses?

The hit percentage on them is too low for what you pay for his business model.

Makes sense, he specializes in a lot of nickel breds that cost less than the shipping alone.  ngc3

He is starting to get into it more now.  Went to NZ last year to promote Sweet Lou and did buy a few horses who are still there.  He bought an Aussie last year that was good in Ohio and is now on the East Coast.  I would expect in the next few years to see more and more downunders in his barns.

He kills it with North American horses. He kills it with UK horses …. He'd kill it with whatever he got his hands on.   

Other than his preoccupation with Dragon Again's which will have to end soon since he's gone now, he and Mark Weaver have an eye for spotting horses that his system can improve.
