Absolute masterclass in integrity with Louprint at the Meadowlands.
Ron Burke, trainer of the top ranked contender, Louprint, has opted to qualify the North America Cup champion on Friday morning rather than race in the Saturday night Pace prep.
“Why not?" said Burke. "I don’t race horses to finish fourth. I don’t think it’s fair to the fans. I’m not going to go [1]:47 for $30,000, and if I’m not going to go for money, I’m going to do what I want to do. For me, not having a race is better.”
He could have entered him and took the horse back off the gate and kept hm covered up and let him pace home in the stretch as many other trainers would “to give him a tightener “
Fuck tighteners and fuck any driver who gives a horse a tightener in a parimutuel race. Shouldn’t even call them tighteners. Call it what it is. Cheating. Stiffing a horse. Why are there never any “lack of effort” fines when it’s clear as day to anyone with eyes.
You want a tightener. Put them in a qualifier.
Tip of the cap to you Ron Burke. Respect!!!🫡

100% agree! Kudos Ronnie! tmbz1
-
What the fuckety fuck!
He made a now allowable tactical decision!
Now we're giving out awards for not trying to not try to put an effort in a pari-mutual race and saying it out loud!
Oh, you're not going rape me, us ron, awww thank you big guy! ngc3

Well, when you take down $23,000,000 a year out of the sport, it makes a fuck ton of sense to buy yourself a little cheap goodwill for the next time a test comes up hot.
-
Miss me with this - the week before the NA Cup he dropped Sippinonsearoc in the b level Ohio Sire Stakes and went for $20k. Why not put him in a qualifier - because he knew he could steal $10k, overwhelm the field and give the horse a tightener. This field wasn’t going to give him the ability to do that
Burke and his owners have done more to damage harness racing than probably anyone else in the last 15 years

What he really meant to say is I don’t want my future stallion Lou Print getting beat in an 30k race and hurting his potential value.
-
Very impressive. His accomplishments in horse racing will never be matched.
-
I am sure that entered into the equation. Bottom line, he is managing the value of his asset. Horses have only so many 1:47 miles in them.

Burke races his top horses longer than any other trainer.
-
Burke just said what most of us know.
-
I like this
-
Sippinonsearoc was in a $20,000 open pace at Scioto on 6/28/25, not an Ohio Sires Stakes, which goes for much more.
-
Great move Ron
-
I have learned over the years never believe a word Ron Burke says. Like all the other cheats he talks out of both sides of his mouth. Ron Burke does not give a crap about the fans. That is some lol shit.

It was May 24th and a Buckeye Stallion Series race which go for $20k and is intended for horses that are not good enough for the Ohio Sire Stakes. It is the equivalent of the NY Excelsior, Ontario Grassroots or PA Stallion Series. In fact Burke won 2 other Stallion Series races that day with Swingtown and Harrisburg Heist. Just a guy doing all he can for the sport.

Yup. Running every small-time trainer into the ground.

I knew Burke has a 100 loyal employees, most of them are members here?
Dat cool ngc3

When be raced Sippininsearoc in the BSS he entered him with the intention to win the race. My issue is with trainers who enter their horses in a race where winning is not the no 1 priority.
A few years ago for example when Test of Faith was a monster they raced her in an open mates race one day at Pocono. Miller sat 5th or 6th. Moved her on the final turn , paced a final quarter in 25 flat and finished 4th and burned the public’s wallets at 1/9. The next week she won the Graduate final by open lenghts.
Miller should have got the rest of the year off. So should the trainer and the horse.

Nigga pleeeeaaaaase!
That's what Gingras does exactly for him.
Get the easy win, placing once you commit, but this Gingras commit, when he's way up when he's feeling it and it's working out!
He's a fucking scumbag with a well oiled plan worked out with Burke i.e. hey it's not working but you can grab 2nd, 3rd, 4th from 5th with some urging to get a another 2/5 second even if you can do it, don't bother. Hidalgo at Vagina last night was a perfect example. Ran the same time as the BigM previous win which took little to no urging, yesterday no effort to get a better placing which the horse surely had.
Orders from Burke / Gingras is his assassin, strong ride to abort even if you have some horse for a better placing, don't push too hard!
-
You watch that 9th at Vagina last night, the abort was decided when Emoticon pulled from behind him to go uncovered, Gingras tipped out and went in and aborted, then closed with fastest closing time of any horse.
Hey if you're not going to ride every race life you're life depends on it, like there is no tomorrow, $300,000 purse, guess what, the Burke mob can afford to do whatever, he ain't going to be on the poverty line.
Why is harness racing on welfare, and who is its biggest recipient, bar none-
Ron Burke!

I hope Gural mans the fuck up and tells any drivers who don’t give ther horses the same effort Saturday as they do next week they are no longer welcome at his tracks. Lord knows the judges won’t do shit

A very nice thought, but he's a caver. He caved to the drug clown trainer list in the federal criminal investigation, he'll stand up initially but then whatever brings in the biggest handle, and CAW! ;D
