American Horse of the Year (1906) |
Burgomaster (foaled 1903) was an American Thoroughbred racehorse who won the 1906 Belmont Stakes.
A colt, [1] Burgomaster's sire was Hamburg and his dam was Hurley Burley. [2] [3] Burgomaster was bred by H. P. Whitney of the prominent Whitney family, who were very involved in and successful with racehorse breeding. [4] [5] J. W. Rogers was Burgomaster's trainer. [6]
In May 1906, Burgomaster won the Carlton Stakes. [1] Later in the year, Burgomaster won the Belmont Stakes with a time of 2:20 and Lucien Lyne as the jockey. [7] [8] Burgomaster was the 1906 Horse of the Year, becoming the first of four horses bred by Whitney to win the honor. [9]
In 1907, Burgomaster was eliminated from competing in the Suburban Handicap, "having been pronounced too unsound to continue in training" for the race. [10]
