GUY GARNER LEADS
ALL THE JOCKEYS
But Shilling Is Considered His
Master on the New
York Tracks.

S?ccisl Dispatch TO The Star.
NEW YORK. August 2.-Little Guy
Garner still heads the list of winning
Jockeys on the New York tracts with
IL, victories, Is seconds and 80 thirds, but
re ia not regarded as the best race rider
lfy a long shot. Carroll Shilling, who is
second with 81 first, IS seconds and q
thirds, including Saturdays races, is
making rapid strides for first honors, and
as a jockey he is in class by himself
Shilling did not receive a license until the
local season was well under way, and since
then he has been suspended on numerous
occasions for disobedience at the post and
rough riding. In spite of these handicaps
he has managed to gain steadily on Gar
rer who has taken a slump since the
Gravesend meeting. Shilling Is better
iorseman than Garner for the reason that
lie possesses superior judgment and can
handle all kinds of horses. He is under
contract TO S. c. Hildreth, who has won
more races than any other owner. and at
the Saratoga meeting Shilling is expected
to overhaul the present leader in the
contest for saddle honors.
MCGEE, under contract to G. NJ. Odom,
has had steady work ever since the sea
son opened, April il, and stands third In
the list with 40 winners, 40 seconds and q
thirds. But he is not in the class with
Shilling or Garner, who is under contract
TO the Newcastle stable In fact, MCGEE
at times is erratic and unreliable. and has
come in for plenty of sharp criticism. E.
Dugan. who rode more than 100 winners
last year. has not begun to ride up to his
old form. He is under suspension at pres
ent and did not begin to ride steadily here
until the campaign was well under way.
As a result Dugan has handled only 30
:irsts, - seconds and D thirds. DuSan
has been riding for August Belmont and
Hildreth.
ButweiI, James r. Keenes jockey. is
fifth with twenty eight winners, twenty
eight seconds and twenty-five thirds. He
had to lay off for several weeks after a
serious accident at Gravesend, In which
r. F. Carmans promising young rider
Langan was fatally injured, and sinre his
return to the saddle he has not shown
his best form. Glass has ridden twenty
four winners. twenty-three seconds and
thirty-three thirds. but he is not riding
well as he did a year ago. Archibald,
upon whose services Mr.. Belmont has Sec
ond call. has shown steady Improvement
and precedes Glass with twenty-six win
ners, twenty-nine seconds and sixteen
thirds
v. Powers, who rode 113 winners last
year and led all the jockeys in this coun-
try Archibald being second with 100
firsts, is unable to ride just now because
of illness. He 10 one of the best how
ever, in spite of the fact that on the local
tracks he has ridden only twenty-five
winners. Taplin. who accepted mounts
here early in the year before going to
the Canadian circuit, follows Powers with
a record of eighteen firsts, fifteen seconds
and twenty-four thirds. Creevy in the
employ Of r. T. Wilson. jr.. is getting
TOO heavy to ride as often as formerly
and has handled but nineteen winners.
The complete record of all the jockeys
that have ridden horses into the money
here since Aqueduct opened not including
yesterdays races at Yonkers is:
