Burke sick ?

[Calhoun]

Two weeks ago Backstreet Shadow was one of the biggest overlays ever in the Roll With Joe. 

It always looks obvious 2 weeks after the race. 

Thanks for the hot tip.

It was obvious to me when it happened.  Best score I've had this year.  Been doing well with all the UK horses with him and the others that have them

Your welcome

I'm not trying to redboard just saying that this thread is mostly made up of jealous haters who have no clue to how Burke runs his operation and the work he and his main partners put into it

Of course you're trying to redboard.

You just did it again.

Ok .. I touted the UK horses in a different thread before they even raced and I've been a Backstreet Shadow promoter in many threads before and after the lockdown

BS wasn't that great in the start prior.

Obvious winner to who, those that knew something others did not?

He didn't leave the gate in the start prior.  Wasn't trying to win that race.  He left hard in the Roll With Joe …. he was trying to win.

I didn't say he was an obvious winner either.  I said that he was an obvious overlay.   Bettor's Wish hadn't even won a qualifier and he was odds on first start as a 4 year old against older horses in a FFA.  Shadow should have been no higher than 2 to 1 and was 9/2 at the gate ending up 4 to 1.  That's the definition of an overlay.

He did leave the gate the start prior, I remember it well since I lost a large amount of cash on the race.

Mccarthy let tetrick courtesy tuck. Tetrick then pulled 1st up and caught cover late. He was absolutely trying in that race and the horse was very flat (and disappointing)

[Harness Stats]

I also lost money on him that race.   We see it differently … Cool … 

IMO Leaving and tucking isin't quite the same as blasting to the lead. I read it as a tour of the track in prep for a big money race as the way he raced wasn't his usual style and far beneath his latest qualifier. I blamed it on Tetrick not the horse.

REBOARDING IS FUN

Especially when you admit you're right only ten percent of the time.  That one time you hit it feels sooooo goood

"I honestly don't know what his secret is. Special yogurt or something else. But I will say the guy truly works his ass off and can name every horse in his stable, their training schedule, what conditions they need to be in and more from memory."

That sounds like a stretch.   I know a much smaller operation, where there is a person needed to keep track of horses, conditions and races available.   And those horses are all at one facility.

[Barnman69]

He has it all on line. And there is more then one person that helps

Burke does it the right way. Treats it as a business. Hires former trainers to jog and train daily . his horses get out everyday no matter the weather. Hires the best vets ,injects hocks,ankles etc . Uses best feed and supplements. Buys quality stock and races them were the belong. Employs top drivers who drive for him and don,t play games. Not lazy , no excuses ,works hard and has a system that works 7 days a week 365 days a year.

too many haters on this worthless forum

[Locked in with pace]

watched a youtube video with Burke from 2 years ago. He talked about his overall stable. He mentioned how he doesn't have claimers any more. Now he has a lot. I know purses are better now but why the change of mind? Does the Burke/Weaver/Bruscemi group really need a 10 claimer? Any Thoughts?
