BURLINGAME RIDES WELL

BALTIMORE, November 1T is said
that the Quincy stable would have won
the famous Futurity Stakes with Dou-
BILE Eagle had he been ready for that
race. Instead. that stables Trojan
captured the two-year-old classic OF
the American turf. Today at Pimlico
the Quincy stable took the Walden
stakes. one of the later classics of the
American turf, with Double Eagle.
Double Eagle won very easily from
Razzano, with Sarsenet third. Ban
quet ran a disappointing race.
Burlingame got Double Eagle into
forward position at the start and he
took the first turn in second place be-
hind Sarsenet, the Montpelier stables
entry. Along the backstretch Sarsenet
and Double Eagle drew away from the
field and set smart pace, with Celtic
and Razzano keeping company behind.
At the far turn Sarsenet had open
daylight between himself and Double
Eagle, and at that juncture it looked
as If he might win. Uncle Bryn, mean
time, had crept into third position,
with Razzano moving up strong. Celtic
had retired. Swinging for home, Sar-
senet was still in front. But he was
beginning to shorten his stride, and
when Strengthened out for the run
home Double Eagle gradually closed.
a furlong from home Double Eagle
had Sarsenet in trouble and Razzano
loomed up as contender. But Double
Eagle, under a skillful ride, had a lot
left and came home a comfortable win
ner by length and half. In the last
fifty yards RaZzano disposed of Sar-
senet, who, nevertheless, hung on
gamely and held third place safe.
Uncle Bryn met with lot of inter
ference on the upper turn and his
rider, Troxler. claimed IL foul, but it
was not allowed.
The Elkridge steeplechase handicap
was the other stake number on the Sat
urday card, and it went to Blankenburg,
who waited on Shannon River, the pace
maker, from the start until the last
fence, where he went into the lead and
easily held his advantage to the end.
Chupadero. a three-year-old, in the stable
| of Mr.. Chamblet, and having much the
worst of the weights, showed an excellent
performance. He was in the thick of the
fight all the way and held on gamely,
| despite interference from Shannon River
and Bay Brook for large part of the
journey. Chupadero's race stamps him as
a jumper much above the ordinary
