Looks like Burke has eight horses selling on OnGait today.  All young, high priced yearlings that just didn't become "Burke" horses.  Ready to race with very few, if any wins.  Go get'm AMac!

Which is your favorite of the lot?

Way To Go Captain looks like the cream of the crop.  He's in the mid 20's.  Probably go to high, $35???  Gone In A Flash looks like a AMac horse.  Only nine starts, one win.   Some excuse lines.  Just watched todays video, he didn't throw out any teasers.

Purchasing a horse from the currently most successful harness trainer (Burke, and further continuously suspected and already caught teflon doping Burke!) in the world, muchless in harness racing history of all history can only be upped by foolishly tapping G-d on the shoulder and seeking to give the Lord itself advice.

I could be totally wrong ....... didn't Rock come from Burke?  LaDoriane from Takter? and Chevron from Erv Miller?  I could be wrong about all three, sure there's several more examples.   There's an advantage to a horse coming from a quality barn.  Get a horse from a lesser trainer, is he getting trained, right equipment, fed, vet care, etc?  Sure you can turn that horse around but it's going to take a month or two at the minimum.  It's clear AMac has at the very least a professional relationship with Burke.  He sends him horses to train and I know Burke's been in at least one of his video's.  The difference between all the top trainers is the money behind them.  For me the one exception would be Ake.  He trains on sand, totally different style.  That said, might be smart to train a horse coming from his barn.  Would be a huge change for the horse.

Love the sport within the sport.  Burke trains but it's actually Mark Weaver at the controls.  Eight horses in the sale.  So similar to AMac, clear some stalls and raise some cash for Lexington.  He already bought back two when Way To Go Captain was counting down.  The bids were going up $200 at a time. When it reached 51.200, the next bid was 55.000.  Betting my $2 that was Weaver setting the bar, he was done playing.  After that it was $200 bids till the hammer went down at $61,400.

Who is Mark Weaver?

One Burke's owners.  Part of Weaver-Bruscemi partnership.  I believe he gives advice on horse acquisition and dispersal.

It may not be the fun part of keeping statistics, it's time consuming and continuous, but try not to be in question, do the work and or ask TheStable if they are keeping these stats, this way you're never "wrong" out of ignorance.  You're an owner, as are the others and possibly even backing of this journey with the investment, trips, some wagering too.

I like your post, you feel that you have a feel, great stuff.

As one who does voluminous analysis on the wagering side, and I keep my own virtual stable (VS) of that which I follow typically horses, historically a trainer, and also an owner / trainer change is a big deal to myself and others.

Keep in mind, Burke as you know owns most of the stable he trains.  When you see his name in the first listing in the program he owns an equal if not greater share than his partners as I was taught.  Also don't compare Burke's winning % to another trainer, he's the # 1 money winning guy whether he trains at 15-35%.  When we all (gamblers) see a new trainer in good double digits winning and itm get a horse from a single digit % trainer we salivate, visa versa not so much.

If you're doing well with buying shares in previously owned Burke horses, great, fantastic, I assure you it is helping his (Burke) reputation too and benefiting you, why does it help him, less scrutiny.  I'm rooting for you all to be successful, not for myself regarding this being correct.  We all have our opinions and knowledge, expertise.  Some of what we're discussing has factual historic data, let's start utilizing and quoting it in great majority, not 1 case study or a few out of thousands.  Again, ask AMac and Team, other trainers their experience historically buying from Burke...  🙂
