at a recognized track. At any
rate he wanted to give it a try
and I took him over for So q
day. as training fees were low al
that time.
"At Benning he showed promise
but he had a lot to learn and was
light in flesh, so I went along with
him slowly and he won his first
race at Morris Park in the fall
Later he won at Benning, and that
fall Gwyn Tompkins bought him
for $2,500. Tompkins put him to
jumping and you may know, the
rest of the story. He became one
of the best jumpers in the land
winning many good steeplechase
stakes at Saratoga Springs and
Belmont Park. It's been many
years since I've seen a brush
horse as capable"
Except for the period when he
was in France-from 1910 to the
outbreak of World War I-Burch
wintered the horses in his care
at Benning. There he fitted White
Clover II for his Suburban Handi-
cap victory of 1892 and also gave
Tambour, ''best mare ever
trained" her early conditioning.
The latter won the Selma at Lau-
rel in 1880 and as a 3-year-old

mac Handicap at Havre de Grace,

Washington in early spring that
year and came out to Benning to
look over his horses I asked him
II he'd like to win the Suburban.
and you can imagine his answer.
Then had White Clover led out
and said, Here's the horse who's
going to do it, He never thought
the horse was that good. A Ben
ming prep stood him well in the
big mile-and-a-quarter at Bel
mont Park just a short time later. +"

questioned as to the best horse hi
ever trained. George Smith
without a doubt" was his speedy
answer. I'm 1915, after my return
from France, I was acting as
manager of the John Sanford
stable. I pointed out George
Smith and told Sanford the colt
would be the best 3-year-old in
the country sthe following season
Not until the fall of that year
after the colt had gone slightly
lame, were we able to make the
purchase from Eddie Mcbride
The price was $4,000 plus 81 ZOO
out of his first winning purse.
'The following spring George
Smith won the Derby. beating the
highly fancied Star Hawk. That
was a big season but in 1918, his
final year of racing. he whipped
Roamer and other outstanding
horses in the mile-and-a-sixteentt
Excelsior Handicap at Jamaica
and closed his turf career that
fall by packing 130 pounds to vic
tory in track record time in the
mile-and-a-half Bowie Handicar
at Pimlico. Two other Derby win.
ners were behind him at the fin
ish. Omar Khayyam, with lis up
finished second and Exterminator
under 100, was third.
Holly Hughes had trained him
for the Derby but he was called
to war and I had him for his last
campaign in 1918"
Firethorn Specialist"
Burch rates Firethorn and Gen.
eral Thatcher next to George
Smith, calling the first named "a
specialist" and the other "a tough
luck horse" AZ
"Firethorn won his first race in
the mile-and-a-sixteenth Walden
Handicap" he said, "and he won
only one other race at a distance
less than mile and a quarter.
Most notable victories were in the
Lawrence Realization at / mile
and S furlongs, Jockey Club
Gold Cup at 2 miles and the mile
and-a-quarter Washington Handi-
cap. He was superior router and
in Tambour he sired another ex-
cellent slayer.
Tough racing luck beat Cen
eral Thatcher in the $50, 900
Preakness and the 100000 Cof-
froth Handicap but he won some
$4,000 during his racing days and
the difference between the Second
money he took down in those two
stakes and the top prize was
plenty"
In addition to Bold, Burch is
conditioning four other Widener
candidates-Going Away, Greek
Ship, Picador and Sunglow. He
also has no less than five Flamingo
prospects-Closed Door, Roaring
Bull. Suggested, Sky Ship and
Why Not. It is planned to send
two Of the latter five to California
to try for the 100000 Santa
Anita Derby.
