The smashing victory scored by Burgoo King in the 58th Kentucky Derby at Churchill Downs is shown above. Burgoo King, with an impressive 5-length lead, is pictured at the top flashing across the finish line to score for his owner, Col. E. R. Bradley. This was the third Bradley Derby victory, an unsurpassed record for a horseman. Economic, which placed after leading the field nearly all the way around, is shown slightly in front of the pack. Below, Bureau King is shown wearing the floral wreath of triumph as he poses in front of the judge's stand. At the right, a mounted policeman is pictured escorting “the King” to that exclusive spot, the winner's circle. The jockey is Eugene James, and his skillful ride on the winner made it a clean sweep for the Blue Grass country since owner, jockey and horse are “Kentucky bred.”
