The Teflon Ron of harness racing, glaucine positives, TCo2 positives, harness racing needs to appoint a special council. someone who has absolutely no ties to the sport, to do a thorough investigation of whom Teflon Ron was slipped some payola to look the other way and allow him free reign to steal from other horsemen. Leave no expense, no vet records, unturned in an effort to get to the real truth. Lets see if there are any bribes in his history.
You have it all wrong.Ron Burke is a wealthy man-and he knows that drug positives are the scourge of his profession and a threat to his success.So when the shit hits the fan HE HIRES THE BEST AVAILABLE ATTORNEYS TO HANDLE HIS AFFAIRS!.He spares no expense-for example the CO2 positive-he hasnt beaten yet-however if anyone can beat it-Ron Burke can-because he has hired the best team in the USA to act in his defense.Wouldnt surprise me if he spends 40-50,000$ maybe more to beat it--because he doesnt want it on his record.Thats why he appears as "Teflon Ron" because unlike 99.9% of other trainers-he fights harder than anyone in the business and has the means to do it.This is why the USTA wants us to keep the "status quo" re medications-so this BS can continue and commissions/judges can pick and choose who to sacrifice.In Hong Kong and down under racing -doesnt matter who you are or how much money you have-you will go down for a positive-just like the little guy.System here is fucked-and until radical changes are made-- nothing changes.
I completely agree
