Cocks Eyes Watters Mark BELMONT PARK, Elmont, L. I., N. Y., May 12. — W. Burling Cocks, who saddled Snow King II. and Extra, who ran one-two in the hurdle race today, has now chalked up seven winners to his credit this year under National Steeplechase and Hunt Association rules. In addition he has had two winners on the flat in Maryland and New Jersey. Sidney Watters, Jr., with a total of ten winners this year, tops the list of leading trainers thus far, with Cocks a fast-closing second. However, in 1949 Cocks topped the list with a total of 32 winners. In 1948 Cocks and Watters tied for first place together with the veteran Arthur White. 1
