OUR LEADING RIDERS SINCE 1905 RECORDS OF THE TEN FOREMOST AMERICAN JOCKEYS FOR THE PAST SIXTEEN YEARS In this country few jockeys last long unless nature makes tliem small of stature and light in weight after reaching legal manhood Of the ten most successful in 190it only one is in effective service he l e ing Frank ONeill who wisely went to France where weights are so sensibly adjusted that heavyweight riders can live and flourish Walter Miller in 1000 nnd 1907 and V Powers in 190S and 1909 were great horsemen lint increasing weight got them lx tli although Powers has kept himself in the public eye as a skillful rider of jumpers And so it goes Of our really good riders James Bntwell gained his first in ¬ clusion in the list of ten in 1009 but it was not until 1920 that lie gained the supreme honor of leading nil his rivals in the racing of a year Six times before that he had figured in the first ten and three times in 1909 1914 and 1915 had been third After V Powers no rider led in more than one year until Frank Kobinson arrived he winning the premiership in 191C and 1918 as well as finishing second to Crump in 1917 1917Those Those conversant with the affairs of racing can draw many interesting rcminiscenses from the fol ¬ lowing tables giving the records of the ten most successful jockeys in each of the last sixteen years 1905Mts 1905 Jockey JockeyNicol Mts 1st 2d 3d
