Congratulations to Ron Burke and Yannick Gingras on their first International Tr

[Call Sign Merlin]

Proof or it is just jealousy.

I mean at the time of his last suspension in Jan 2024 Burke had 25 drug related positives.  He isn’t exactly Sister Mary Catherine.  I would also argue with how little he has ever been punished for those positives there isn’t much reason to stop.

As we speak Looksgoodinloulou drops 2 seconds from last week and steam rolls past Miki and Minnie.

Everyone knows Burke is scumbag drug pusher and gets away with it. Except this asshole on horseplop named Kenny. Prove it    Just like you said he goes by the best horse in the nation just now like he was standing still. Let’s watch how many he wins tonight with 8 races going for 400,000 red mile

Make it 2 for 2 with UBrute going down the road in 49 - was also 2nd or 3rd so took the majority of the $400k home with him

This is America. Where is the proof? Your hate and jealousy are not proof.

He races all over the country. Thousands of races per year. His horses have been tested by countless labs and he has never been popped for any type of narcotic.

Drawing inside also helps. The Italian mare wins for fun if she’s anywhere inside.

Lexus Kody is no joke. He's a huge animal with a flawless gait. I haven't followed his whole career, bur peripherally I wasn't sure if he'd handle a flat half, and he clearly did.

Burke's didn't develop him. No surprise there; he has the owners to back up buying for this level.

I'm no fan of the Burkes. I think they couldn't give a shit about the welfare of any horse in their string. But they sure can keep one "sound" and going. And have the money to buy when they can't produce their own.

The draw was fixed, that's the inly way that horse wins is by drawing the rail.  3 was losded.

I couldn’t agree more with you. I can’t believe people don’t realize this.

oh yeah, I’m sure the draw was fixed for a race of this caliber. The 3 was what!??

[SDST2009]

You guys do realize that trainers are clearly using stuff that they can't or don't test for. I'm not singling Burke out in that lot.

Like Ron personally or not, the Burke stable is the most impressive operation ever seen in the sport/industry. Absolutely unparalleled. You can't argue that. Period. I think people talk more about Burke because the operation and numbers are so big. More people get beat by him. Any discussion about illegal drugs and so on is no different than the same discussion about anyone else. Burke's an easier and more common target because of their size. Burke has had positive tests, no different than virtually every other great current and former trainer/horseman-----Tony Alagna, Jimmy Takter, Steve Elliott, Brett Pelling, Ake Svanstedt, Joe Holloway, Linda Toscano, and others. Designer/exotic drug(s) or not is a rabbit hole argument. It's either a regular, normally used, therapeutic type drug, or it's not. Case by case.

Burke has a lot of quality horses. He’s not going to risk the well-being by giving them some mystery drug. He’s number one for a reason.
