(Leyburn, Middleham)

|
- Banned for 1 year from training in July 2009. Found guilty of passing information for reward as part of an operation by, warned off, punter to lay horses. Had to move out of his stables as the ban precludes him from working at stables licenced by the BHA. Training at the stable taken over by Alan (A. P.) Jarvis who is his Father-in-Law. That trainer moved his own horses up to the Burke yard in Newmarket.
- Moderate results in 2009 with Mr Jarvis in charge in line with his own inconsistent record with 2yos. Some horses transferred to other stables including Maura Gittins sending some of her expensive purchases to Henry Cecil (who also received Group 1 winner Lord Shanakill from the 'Burke' yard).
- Mr Burke came out of his disqualification period at the sart of the Ebor Meeting in August 2010 but said he would not be applying for a licence immediately. During the hiatus he had undertaken other activities including charity work. Interviews suggesting that being off the 24 hour-a-day treadmill of racing had allowed him to develop a wider perspective on life outside of racing. His wife had been his assistant previously and applied for a licence when her husband's disqualification expired.
- Stayed in the background at the yard until applying for a full training licence in mid-2013. He had had to wait partly for other issues to be resolved. As an example he had not been able to be a director of a limited company for a period and needed that to be settled to take on the company the yard is listed under.
- All Burke 2yo runs for 2013 remain under his wife's name in the B2yoR records. Mr Burke will build his new record with 2yos from the start of the 2014 season.
