What happened to Ron Burke ?

[SwankToliverA]

Suspended

[shamrock stable]

He decided the trainers in the states are not good enuff. He is tired of winning the same awards over and over. He is going to race down under on The nz and australia circuit.

[MR.DALRAE]

He’d last about 2 months there

[Generation XYZ]

How does Ron Burke win the first qualifier driving at the Meadows, isn't he suspended, Mickey J trainer. I don't see how this could be real. Check out the results from today.
