i still havent been convinced burke is good for the industry. in fact i think most people believe its not helping the industry.
Kenny, your answers make you sound like more than a fan.I'd guess you are in the Burke organization.
I do not work for Burke, I am a fan. The only contact I ever had with anyone in that organization is I was once standing near the winners circle taking picture of one of their top horses and lady told me to come to the other side of the fence and take my pictures.What I have seen is how Burke had Foiled Again race in tracks all over including fairs his last year. He did something similar with Atlanta. He does not hide from heat racing and he tends to keep his horses on the track even if they have top three year old years.
Why didn't the driver file an objection?
In my view, Diamond Creek is a much bigger problem. They manipulated the entire industry with Confederate. His mark was fake since it was set up by another Diamond Creek horse. They raced his in the sire stakes in PA and KY to avoid some of the grand circuit. It was all about his stallion fee. That goes back to the government handouts. The fact is both Diamond Creek and Burke are playing the game better than others so they do better than others. The other big trainers could do what Burke does but it requires a lot more administrative work and managing a lot more people.
