Background
editA 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]
Horse racing career
editIn 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]
