It's been a big week for the Burkes after Jonathan's outstanding achievement award at the HRI awards on Monday, and Liam's win with Sumos Novios at Punchestown last Sunday. They capped things off nicely when Rebel Turn (11/1) took the Waterford & Tramore Supporters Club Handicap Hurdle in the familiar Simply The Best silks.
Rebel Turn challenged Boxing Along from before the last and in the end he toughed it out best to score by half a length.
"That was very unexpected because I ran a fella before that (Coolbane West, 11/4 shot, 4th in the 1.20) who is a good bit better than him and he puked it," stated Burke.
"He disappointed the last day in Thurles but he had a couple of good runs last year. He had the run of the race today and everything went right for him. The rest of them never seemed to pick up."
