noses separated the next three horses
as Brandon Mint finished fourth, Over
Time, the other Whitney entry, with
Earl Sande in the saddle, fifth, and the
heavy-played favorite, Mrs Louis G.
Kaufmann'S Tick On, sixth
Tick on went to the barrier the
popular choice at odds Of 9 to 5, but
used up most of its energy in bad
behavior at the barrier.
Tick On Breaks Poorly.
The black son of On Watch con-
tr1buted mainly to the delay of exactly
1874 minutes at the post, finally broke
poorly, was kicked in an early jam and
never a contender, despite the efforts
OF Jockey Pete Walls to pull the favorite
out of the ruck
Tick On manifested plenty of game
ness and speed in spite of misbehavior
and bad breaks, which effectually
destroyed any real chance this colt had
OF giving the winner race.
Burgoo Kings stable mate, Brother
Joe, finished last after Liberty Limited,
the hope of the Three DIS Stable of
Fort Worth, Tex, broke down in the
back stretch, but nobody paid any at
tention to that oddity as the handsome
victor came back to the stands to re-
ceive terrific ovation while Gov Ruby
Laffoon presented the trophy to Col.
Bradley.
With the complete entry list Of 20
going to the barrier, thereby upsetting
expectations of a half dozen scratches,
the Derby was worth $62, 2,875.

to $3.50. Economic drew down
$4,000, Stepenfechit $4,000 and Brandon
Mint $1,000.
Winner Pays $13.24.
Burgoo King, going to the post at
odds of slightly better than 512 to /,
paid the good price of $13.24 to win
for each 81 ticket in the mutuels, also
$500 to place and 81 to show.
Economic paid $15.62 to place and
1884 to show, while Stepenfetchit,s
price to show was S3.52.
Burgoo Kings winning price was the
best the machines have shown since
zev romped to victory under Sande's
guidance in 1928. Sande's bid, Incl
dentally, for a fourth triumph and a
jockey record failed despite a gallant
effort.
Burgoo King, which stepped the mile
and a quarter in 2 minutes is Sec
onds, is the second son of a Derby win
ner to add to the family prestige with
another victory. Halma, winner in
1895, sired Alan-a-Dale, which came
home first IN 1902.
Race Well Run.
Except for Tick On's bad luck, it
was as truly run a race as any in
which so big field has gone to the
post. In only three previous years,
| 1928. 1928 and 1929, did bigger fields
start, and none Of these was quite as
unruly as the score Of 3-year-oldS han
died today by Starter William HAM
ilton.
Burgo King, unhampered by having
No. 13 post position, was as well be-
haved as any in the stall gates. Tick
On was the worst, breaking through
the barrier no less than 10 times.
Finally, after they were away, there
was plenty of humping and rough
riding in the mad chase for positions
down the stretch in the first run past
the grandstand.
Our Fancy broke first, but Economic
quickly took command and had q
good two-length lead within the first
half mile, followed by Brandon Mint,
Burgoo King, Our Fancy, Brother Joe
and the fiily Oscillation. Tick On was
fourteenth away from the barrier and
no better than twelfth, pocketed. as
they swept past the half-mile mark.
Cold Check Moves Up.
Going into the back stretch, Cold
Check made a brief move into fourth
position, closely followed by the Whit
ney pair. Stepenfetchit and Over Time.
Tick On also began to pull up.
Past the mile it was Economic by
head, hard pressed now by Burgoo
King, with Brandon Mint, Stepen-
fetchit, Over Time and Tick On run
ming in that order fairly well punched.
Jockey James, whose contract was
bought by Col. Bradley only week ago,
made his decisive move coming around
the last turn into the stretch. With
giant strides, under his riders sharp
lashing, Burgoo King leaped ahead and
quickly opened commanding gap ok
four lengths.
Stepenfechit, under Ensor's urging,
moved into third place, but could do
no better. Brandon Mint had enough
in reserve to hold fourth position from
the closing challenges Of Over Time and
Tick On.
How Others Finished.
Liberty's Limited's breakdown, mark
ing another disappointment in the quest
of the Three DIS Stable for a Derby
winner, was not unexpected. The colt
had given evidence of having weak
ankles after several workouts, although
showing much early speed. 1t was in
the ruck from the start today, however,
and broke down about midway in the
back stretch
The rest of the field finished In this
order:
Sir; ninth, Hoops; tenth, Cold Check;
eleventh, Adobe Post; twelfth, Crystal
Prince; thirteenth, Oscillation; four
teenth, Prince Hotspur; fifteenth Gee
Tee; sixteenth. Cathop; seventeenth,
Lucky Tom; eighteenth, Thistle Ace;
