MANY RIDERS FOR KENTUCKY RACING More Jockeys Available for Coming Season Than Ever Before— Many Good Ones in the List. Louisville. Ky.. April 18. — There will be no dearth of riding talent for the forthcoming spring season of racing in Kentucky, but. on the contrary, it would appear, judging by the number already on the ground, that there will be an overabundance of jockeys — good, bad and indifferent. Not within re-eeut years uioj there been so many riders — drawn from ail plrrs — assembled in this city or Lexington awaiting flic opening of the season next Tuesday. The great majority, of course, are those who usually ride on the Kentucky tracks, and their number is augmented by a considerable proportion of boys, who have been driven here by the stoppage of racing in Canada. Besides these there are a number who formerly rode on the Kentucky tracts, but who have for some years past been engaged on other tracks. Oi f the welcome signs of the times in Kentucky racing is the fact that the riding colony will lie strengthened by such capable and exjierienced jockeys as "Big" Bill Knapp. J. Notter and J. Lof-tus. The presence of either of this trio on any horse is sufficient assurance to the horses backers that they will get the best results obtainable. Albert Johnson, the western boy whose meteoric rise to the front rank of American riders last year created a sensation, will also be seen in the saddle here, being under contract to J. H. Rosseter. It will lie interesting to note how this lad fares during his first season in this state.
