Burlington was an American Thoroughbred racehorse best known for winning the 1890 Belmont Stakes.
[5] The favorite out of the field of nine was Padishah, who'd shown racing promise as a two-year-old.
Despite these longer odds, Burlington, ridden by African-American jockey Shelby "Pike" Barnes, won the race, beating second place finisher Devotee by a length.
[3] After his racing career, Burlington was retired to stud, siring at least six known horses.
In 1904, he was sold to J. E. Lane to stand at stud at Woodmonde and Hattondale farms in Virginia.
