Trainer Profile

Nikki Burke

Nikki spent most of her young life around racehorses with her stepfather Barry Burke who has trained many hundreds of winners during his career. Nikki then went out on her own to extend her knowledge and did so under the guidance of highly successful trainers such as Mick Kent, Pat Hyland and Alan Williams.

This all culminated in Nikki gaining her licence to train racehorses with her first runner being on Boxing Day 1998. Since then Nikki has worked extremely hard stamping herself as a force to be reckoned with. As a result she has slowly, but surely gained the respect and trust of many people within the industry.

From starting off with just a couple of horses which she owned herself, Nikki has, in this short period of time, secured quite a number of wonderful owners with whom she has shared many a winning day on the racetrack.

Nikki has also proven to have an exceptionally keen eye for a horse resulting in her purchasing some good value, highly achieving new additions to the stable.  If anyone is interested in becoming part of her success in the purchase of new yearlings, there are always shares available.  Enquiries can be made with Nikki who can be contacted on 0419 536 524 or nikkiburke@bigpond.com
