Barry and King Have Their Favorite Jockeys OCEANPORT, N. J., May 30. Thomas J. Barry; who set a new record for Monmouth Park trainers in 1951 when he saddled 22 winners, believes that jockey Fernando Fernandez is the "best horse in his barn." Barry gives considerable credit to Fernandez as a thorough horseman able to get the most out of his mounts. Barry is not the only horseman who has a favorite rider. E. W. King, who annually campaigns a big string over the New Jersey circuit, is no less strong for Sammy Boul-metis. Boulmetis came to the races with King, had his contract sold to the Glen Riddle Farm at one time and now is back with his first boss. And as King puts it: "Ill never let him get away again." Barry and King are ready to swing into action with their iiorses and their pet riders when Monmouth Park opens on June 14.
