: : : : J : : : : : LEADING AMERICAN JOCKEYS Wayne Wright continues to set too fast a pace for his rival riders, the brilliant Widener pilot scoring with ten of his mounts last week to increase his lead and also his total. Wright has ridden seventy-seven winners since the first of the year, the ten he added last week being the high mark for that period among the riding brigade. Paul Keester, Wrights closest pursuer for riding honors and himself the leader for several months, also had a good week, riding seven winners. There isnt much to choose between these two star pilots in percentage, Keester boasting a one point margin over the leader. Following are the records of the thirty leading American jockeys from January 1 up to and including the racing of last Sunday: Last Jockey. Mts. 1st. 2d. 3d. Unp.P.C Wk. Wright, W.
