In harness racing the cream always rises to the top and it doesn't matter weather it is the racehorses, sires, trainers or drivers the result is always the same.
However with success in this sport comes the snide remarks and the innuendo especially when it concerns trainers.
We are always amazed at the "tall poppy" syndrome that exists in this sport.
Other sports put their high achievers up on a pedestal and admire what they have achieved.
In harness racing the more successful a trainer is the more likely a lot of their fellow trainers will call them cheats or drug users.
Ron Burke is one trainer that seems to cop it a lot in our opinion and we are planning a more in depth article on this subject in the near future.
Until then enjoy this interview with Ron Burke prior to the season's debut of Mission Brief in which he once again answers his critics.
