! BURGOO KING STARTER j j IN AMERICAN DERBY j LOUISVILLE, Ky., May 16.— With Burgoo King, winner of the Kentucky Derby and Preakness Stakes, ineligible for the Belmont Stakes, a fact probably overlooked by those affiliated with the three-year-old champions 1 stable at the time he was shipped from Churchill Downs to Belmont Park Sunday a week ago. he is certain to return west for the American Derby, another 0,000 added race, at Washington Park, June 18. Later he will try for another Bradley triumph in the ! Classic at Arlington Park and with two such 1 engagements Chicago turf enthusiasts will 1 see more of the 1932 three-year-old champion 1 than any monarch of that division since the l revival of racing in Illinois. That Burgoo King is not eligible for the I Belmont Stakes is regretted by admirers of ! the pride of Idle Hour Farm and racing , enthusiasts in general. It probably had I much to do with his starting in the Preakness - Stakes, for aside from the Withers s Stakes, the son of Bubbling Over has no other important engagements than the American Derby. In the Washington Park race the Bradley T colt may encounter even more formidable * opposition than in the Kentucky Derby or r Preakness. Those that will oppose him in 1 the American Derby will come from among I the following: Evening, Universe, Stepen-fetchit, - Pompeius, Economic, Top Flight, 1 Tick On. On Post, Brandon Mint, Slave Ship, . Delivered, Mad Pursuit, Larranaga, Air r i Pilot, Mad Frump and others.
