/ Edward Riley Bradley's
Burgoo King, chestnut son
OF Bubbling Over and Minawand,
Joined the ranks of turf immor-
tails by winning the forty-second
running of the PreakneSs stakes
/ mile and 3-16 affairin in 1859 As,
thus duplicating the performance
of Sir Barton, 1919 and Gallant
Fox, 1880, the only 3-year -olds
ever to win both the Kentucky
Derby and the Preakness the
same year.
A crowd of about 10000, which in
ciuded Vice President Charles Curtis
and many other men and women high
In political, financial and social circles
In America and Canada, stood shout
ing as the colt, admirably ridden by
Eugene James, sped under the imag-
mary wire head in advance of Iona
Stables Tick On to earn a $5l, $50
purse.
Back in third place, but not dis
graced, came w. M Jefford's Boatswain,
which had a two-length advantage over
the Mereworth studs Mad Pursuit, with
the other starters strung out in Indian
1ile.
Duplicate of Sir Barton.
Burgoo Kings score was an exact
duplicate of Sir Barton's performance
in 1919. The j. X. L. Ross colt went
to Churchill Downs and after winning
the Derby came back to this historic
plant to annex the Preakness. On the
other hand, Gallant Fox first won the
Preakness IN 1890 and then went out
to the Downs to garner the Derby.
However, Burgoo King did a bit more
travelling than either Sir Barton or
Gallant Fox, as he was shipped to New
York following his Derby triumph and
then brought back here, adding close to
500 additional miles to his travels.
The Pride of the West" as Burgoo
King as been dubbed since his Darby
victory, now has earned $110 $50 in his
two seasons OF racing, as today's purse
was worth $51,l50.
In addition to first money, Burgoo
King earned possession of the historical
Woodlawn Vase, which was put up for
competition today by that popular
young sportsman, Albert C. Bostwick of
New York, whose Mate won the race a
year ago.
1t is the custom OF owners of Freak
ness winners to put the Woodlawn Vase
up for competition the following Spring.
and "One-Two Ed Bradley of Ken
rncky is certain to follow IN the foot
steps of other sportsmen, who yearly
put up the vase after theirNstar 3-year-
old had won It,
Burgoo King Pays $3.50.
Folks in the vast throng VINO wagered
on the outcome of the race received
the following pay-of from Morty Ma
honeyS iron men"-Burgoo King
$3.50; $500. and $500 for a s2-across-
the-board ticket. Tick On paid $3.50
second and $500 third; while Boat
swatn's show price was $3.50.
As the field started pulling I'D on
che far side Of the track there was a
general rush for positions around the
nn1sh line, during which Col. Bradley
was seen being escorted by General
Manager Matthias L. Dagger to the
stewards stand where Vice President
Charles Curtis presented the Ken
tuckian with the Woodlawn Vase.
After Col. Bradley, Vice President
Curtis and Jockey Eugene James posed
for the battery of cameramen, who
swarmed all around the stand, the trio
mace snort addresses over the radio
The start was fine with Boatswain
scrended by Curacao and Lucky Tom
being quickest to find their racing legs.
They battled 1t out closely bunched
to the first turn where Tick On slipped
through into second place.
In the run down the back lane.
Boatswain continued to bowl along in
front with Robertson having to hustle
Tick On along when Eugene James
came up fast on the outside with Burgoo
King.
Victor Is Carried Wide.
Swinging for home Boatswain went
away out in the center Of the track, and
In doing SO carried Burgoo King, who
was second, with him. This enabled
Tick On to again get in the running
along the inner railing.
The stretch battle between the trio
was one of the greatest ever witnessed
In the PreakneSs and Burgoo King, COM
ing again on the outside, deserved his
head victory over Tick On. Boatswain
was another head back, two lengths in
advance Of Mad Pursuit.
