Why no banter about the Burke Positive test!????

[She Dont Know]

I guess no one has noticed that Burke horses are not winning alot this

s year. Two year olds are terrible. Look at their earnings, way down.

I am of the opinion he doesn't run a clean operation. However, do understand there isn't yet solid evidence to support that; his positives tend to be innocuous.

However, what is not an opinion but a fact is the condition Lexus Kody raced in in the MLT last night. Tetrick knew it too; he walked most of the warmup, which was wise since based on how he post paraded, if he had moved any quicker I don't see how track vet couldn't have scratched him. Randy also pointed it out, but hardly necessary as he was clearly lame even at the walk even to a layperson.

It's really a testament to the gutsiness of Kody to hang on as long as he did.

He may be the leading trainer in harness racing, but the repeated lack of horsemanship displayed by the number of blatantly lame horse he puts on the track doesn't go unnoticed. Except apparently by the track vets.

A disgrace...will he stop at the the Burke farm on the way back? Looked to need a full tune up. Will he get around the half in that condition?

Shocking that the anti-Burke crowd uses a lasix overage/positive to call for a lynching. Well, here, not really, LOL. While I've never been an advocate or fan of Burke, and while it has nothing to do with the penalty, with the size of the operation, and being on track to have what, 5000 or more starts this year-----of course that doesn't give him a pass, but a lasix overage is certainly not a felony and a reason to lynch him.

He breeds to his own crackhead horses, sires and mares? 

Were the first words of these yearlings....spik e up the baby

And to think Lexus Kody was invited to international trot at Yonkers

Burkes young horses aren’t the normal monsters this year like in the past.  He only had one PA champion this year.  Lets see how he does in the other states, sire stake program

Well, in a previous interview mentioned on the Saturday Mohawk broadcast, Burke claimed he wouldn't be 100% tight for the MLT, but should be better prepared for the Intl.

I am being kind with my paraphrasing as I didn't hear (or see in print) the full interview, However, what I am extrapolating is, they know he's not right.

Will he be in the Int'l Trot? The horse I saw Saturday cannot possibly be 100% in a week's time. Personally, I'd be surprised if he is fit to participate, but I will not be surprised if he is entered either way.
