Return On Investment

[slimshady]

I would love to see someone do a "return on investment" for Ron Burke Stables.   Based on the money this guy spends on horses, if he doesn't win 20 million a year in purses, he is sucking his owners blind.

Everyone on here loves to rag on The Stable, but I would place a bet that their ROI is better than Burkes.
And I have zero skin in the game with The Stable.

I buy my horses with a small time local trainer, and I can guarantee you, his ROI is way better than Burkes.

I'm sorry but you are more clueless than previously thought.

Burke does $21 Million+ every single year.

I'm sure your trainer is thankful he has you for a pigeon owner.

after expenses  ?

Alagna, Burke, Coleman     .....     everyone sings their praises, but they are fucking thieves.    I'm ok with that because the people they are stealing from, obviously have more money than they know what to do with, but don't tell me what great horsemen they are.
They are simply connected to folks with deep, deep pockets.
A monkey could spend the money they do on top pedigrees and produce some winners !!!

They're like F1 drivers.     Give them the top car and they virtually have to screw up, not to win.

Hey Caddy   .....     He doesn't make 21 million a year after expenses.
Who tried to tell you that.
Great, he makes 21 million a year in purses.

Buys 200 yearlings a year   ....    avg    40k each      8 million
225 horses being trained     .....    5000 each per month    x   12 months     13 million

Owners spend 21 million to win 21 million.
Awesome.
Invest it at 8% pretty safely, and 21 million returns you 1.6 million.

Burke's owners are rich pigeons.

The original Burke group has made money. What is the residual value of Mission Brief, Buckeye St Pat, Warrawee Ubeaut etc etc. They play the game at another level.

I saw that number on Calhoun's post.  There is a difference between gross and net, that is pretty certain.

So are you saying he has only 25 raceway horses or 425 total horse?  No way he buys 200 yearlings

[slimshady]

Caddy  ....    To be clear, I'm not saying Burke doesn't make a shit load of money.  I'm saying the owners he trains for are just like every other owner in the world.    They're all playing the lottery.  They aren't in it for the profit.   The only guys winning this game are the big trainers, sending out big time monthly bills.

LOL    Calhoon.    Don't believe a word that douche bag says.
