Burnham Square

Burnham Square began his career with a pair of in-the-money finishes in Kentucky as a 2-year-old in October and November of 2024 but really exploded in his third lifetime start with a nine-length maiden win going 1 1/16 when blinkers were added on Dec. 28 at Gulfstream Park.

Burnham Square was entered versus stakes company for the first time in his 3-year-old debut on Feb. 1, 2025, when he took to the track against six rivals in the Grade 3 $265,000 Holy Bull Stakes back at the 1 1/16-mile trip at Gulfstream Park. After settling in last in the early stages of the running of the Holy Bull, began to roll up into contention on the turn and then shifted gears in the stretch to pass the leaders en route to a 1 3/4-length win with Edgard Zayas aboard.

Burnham Square made his next start in the Grade 2 $400,000 Coolmore Fountain of Youth Stakes at Gulfstream Park on March 1 but could not find the same success he had enjoyed in the Holy Bull. He finished fourth by three lengths with no apparent excuse as the 1.90-1 favorite in the field of six.

Burnham Square is trained by Ian Wilkes. He was bred in Kentucky by the sire Liam's Map out of the mare Linda by Scat Daddy.
