Michael (Mickey ?) is his father.  He has been listed as trainer of record for the past week or two, but Ron is listed as being back on Friday at M1.

Probably served time for something as he has done that before, taking his suspensions in December or January.

No wonder the industry is a joke. This is the second time in the last 3 years, I believe he has had a medication positive and got to serve his suspension at his convenience.

If memory serves me right,  he was also suspended at this time last year. So possibly, more than 2 times in 3 years (haven't looked it up yet)

And they always let him put his brother down as trainer at certain tracks

Same bullshit every time he gets a violation.  Appeal until after all the stakes are over and still don't miss time.

there are no reprecussions for their actions. its business as usual. its a total joke. they need to be regulated in some way other than the current system.

if burke didnt have the numbers of horses he has he would not be very succesful. it pays to be a people person in this business. if you can talk to the right people and have enough cash flow you will do well.

Looked it up. Ronnie served a 7 day suspension in the middle of the month from a positive in Nov.
Mickey Jr was down AFTER the suspension was finished and for another week after that.

Over and over. Same thing with some other “big guys”.  That is why the horse should be suspended until the time is served. That would stop most of the appeals.

Ron Burke is a cheating P.O.S scumbag, always was and always will be. Anyone can be a great trainer with the use of drugs.

When you get as big as Burke he himself doesn't have to do the pre racing. He tells the vet what to do and they do it.  He may give them the bottle or gave it ship direct to his vet.  As I said without the numbers of horses and the money. Burke is nit much stock. Just some pa hillbilly.

Read this weeks. They are finally disposing of positive tests of Burke and others with lawyers on retainer from 2 years ago. They get their "vacations " the second week of January. Time to head south and check on the babies.
