  1. I guess you didn't mean the "Derby", but if you did, the 1932 winner was Burgoo King, ridden by Eugene James.


  2. If you mean the Derby at Epsom, the 1932 winner was April the Fifth, ridden by Fred Lane.  

    The 1932 Kentucky Derby was indeed won by Colonel E. R. Bradley's Burgoo King, one of Bradley's many "busy B's".  Bradley named all of his horses with names that began with the letter "B."  This was not, as some people thought, an obsession with his own name.  Bradley, like a lot of people in racing, was very superstitious.  The first good horse he owned was named Bad News (so named in the hope that he would travel fast), and Bradley decided after that to name all his horses with names beginning with "B".  And so came such good ones as Bagandbaggage, Broker's Tip, Bimelech, Busher, and so on.

    Burgoo, for those who may be wondering, is a traditional Kentucky stew concoction.  It can be made with beef, chicken, veal, pork, or game, or any combination of those meats.
