THIRTY LEADING WINNING OWNERS H. P. WHITNEY STILL IN FRONT IN AN INTERESTING COMPETITION WITH J. K. L. ROSS FOR THE LEADERSHIP OF THE PRESENT YEAR Only n. P. Whitney and J. K. L. Ross have a look-in for the primacy of leading, winning owners in our racing of this year. Nothing but an improbable series of successes in the richest stake races yet to be run could give any other owner a chance to overhaul the two. Just now Mr. Whitney has 8,500 the best of Commander Ross. No matter what imposing things Sir Barton may do for the latter, Mr. Whitney is incomparably better equipped with high-class three-year-olds and two-year-olds, and to those ages fall the richest prizes of the turf. However it may turn out, the struggle between the two most powerful stables of the day will be followed with interest by the racing public. So much money is being distributed in stakes and purses that other winning owners can well view their stable returns with sentiments of deep satisfaction. Ral Parr is third in the list with more money than was ever before to his credit in racing. Glen Kiddle Farm comes next, and, having serviceable horses besides the champion Man o War, is thriving and probably destined to garner more than 00,000 before snow Hies. Bob Smiths Snnnyland Stable has its full share of good fortune, and the Canadian stable of G. M. . Hendrie is doing quite well. What the other owners completing the list of thirty chief owners to date have reaped in the way of stable earnings is shown below: Won in . Leading Winner Won In Leading Winner 1919.
