I think he will lose most of his grand circuit opportunities. Look what happened to his cousin Brett. He left the East Coast and that was the end of most big races for him.

What's Burke going to do?  He's probably the most reliable driver he uses right now.  Going to Ohio is in competition with Page and Wrenn.  I'm sure they don't want to lose drives.

I figured he would stay in the East until he broke Campbell's money record.

As far as 'losing' "grand circuit" drives, the owners will decide that.  Owners and trainers alike know of his talent, and capabilities in big races.  Time will tell on this.  Even Brian Sears came out of 'retirement in the recent past to drive and could do so again if asked!

More overnight money available to be made in Ohio compared to The Meadowlands too!
Will he want to drive in the Ohio winters or relax like his counterparts out east?  David also came to Pompano Park {RIP} years ago to relax in and drive just to 'not go "cold turkey" for his return up north.

David Miller actually said that 2025 will be his last year driving at the Meadowlands.

If/when this occurs, we will all find out if the hierarchy of drivers change!
