BURKE HAS 5 OF THE 8 STARTERS
« on: November 25, 2022, 04:57:14 AM »
 TVG final at the Meadowlands. This clearly shows the dominance of having hundreds of horses in your stable. He obviously is a tireless worker and built a great team but it shows how a few control the sport. It's happening in the yearling sales too. Not a good business model for long-term growth.

In the corporate world that wouldn't be allowed. They call it a monopoly which is why they have antitrust laws. In harness racing world it's still a monopoly which is bad for the sport and worst for the  little guy.

  tmbz1 EXACTLY!
Burke is obviously a talented guy--however being able to dominate this sport-is not only bad for the little guy--it gets owners OUT of the Sport!!
With such large numbers--he gets all the best drivers-they team drive-giving some others in the race no chance. The betting changes-because of this BS-result? Handle drops-Sport suffers.  Burke now has over 20 trucks and trailers-employs close to 100--and is basically immune from drug testing--as so far-he is Teflon Ronny-gets out of all of them-thanks to his ability to outduel the commission at the Courts with $$$.
Burke needs to be reined in--IMHO.

Quit fucking crying.  If you can't beat him, join him!  He trains one for Nancy now.  Or you could always go find another profession.  It's the everyone deserves a participation ribbon crowd!  tmbz1

And the funny part is they can't beat the Bulldog even if they teamed up and tried pinning him in.

That's EXACTLY THE PROBLEM. More and more owners are finding other professions and the sport is going into the tank.

The sport refuses to regulate itself and does nothing to stand on it's own 2 feet.  I lover harness racing, but it may be on it's way out if the casino money stops.

He drives for Burke & Takter. Neither of them won a big race.

Burke had 5 of the 8 & finished 4th-8th. WOW! That is not business as usual.

Not only that, look how he did in the other races. Celebrity Bambino off the board as the 2nd favorite in the Valley Victory, Strong Poison off the board as the heavy favorite in the Three Diamonds, and his two horses were beaten a combined 68 lengths in the Governor's Cup without either of them breaking!
