‘Burke Brigade’s Big Saturday
It’s safe to say that trainer Ron Burke had a pretty good Saturday this weekend.
Performers from Burke’s operation recorded 12 wins on Saturday (April 7). In total, 38 Burke pupils were in action, as they were spread out across eight different tracks.
Burke trainees notched four victories at both The Downs at Mohegan Sun Pocono and the Meadowlands Racetrack. A pair of Burke performers found the winner’s circle at Hoosier Park on Saturday, and the ‘Burke Brigade’ also had single victories at both the Meadows and Freehold Raceway.
Overall on Saturday, Burke's final tally was 38-12-3-5, which was good for a .404 UTR and $107,345 in purse earnings.
