Maybe he should go pout in the corner.

Hey Ron, GSAC

Did touch a nerve.... a month gap between tweets and this is what he puts out. Do JK Victory and Brookview Bolt run off the screen this weekend? He WILL be working extra hard.

LOL Good Point. But Gaskin's statements are by no means ungrateful or out of line.

Is Emily Gaskin, by any chance, related to Ernie Gaskin who use to train for Billy Haughton Stable?

Good question. I think she's from Ohio originally was Ernie from the midwest?

Don't know where Gaskin was from originally but he WAS Billy Haughtons listed first trainer at YR and RR somewhere around the time of Billy's death and I believe she is his daughter

Yep, your right.

Harness racing is nothing new to Emily Gaskin Ratcliff. At one time, her father, Ernie, trained for the late, great Billy Haughton. In fact, that is where he met his future wife and Emily’s mother.

Today, Ernie is one of the leading trainers at the Anderson, IN harness racetrack Harrah’s Hoosier Park.

Burke could grow a pair Bitch less and be a Sportsman.

He's using his large stable presence as leverage. If on air handicappers comment poorly about him, he will just threaten to pull horses. Microcosm here of the entire industry

1 less horse in each races makes it better/easier for everyone else!

Does anyone know if Burke ships in or is stabled on the grounds at HP?

Ty for the answer to my question.  Yeo, he was listed in the programs for sure along with Al"Apples" Thomas. I remeber watching the haughton stable train in sets - Ernie, Apples, Ben Steall, Donnie Miller and Billy   Usually 5 or 6 horses training as a group on the main track - it got crowded in those days - lol  Each horse would pull out and pass the group for like 3/8ths and then another horse would do the same. Sometimes they would fan out at the end. you had to be alert if you were jogging one. But, hey it was the Haughtons.

Pretty cool. Some of the big guys still train that way in Florida during the winter months. Enjoyable to watch.
