the post Encouragement roared from the threats
of those that had pinned their faith to him and
those that had wagered against him, as he fought
valantly through the last eighth and barely failed
to get up"
while the stands fairly Numbered with cheers
Exterminator came back again to victory at Havre
de Grace today in the Philadelphia handicap" says
the official report winners and losers alike
joined in the riotous applause for the success of
one Of the most popular idols of the American turf
Beginning his seventh year of endeavor in the turf
this marvellous old son OF MCGEE and Fair Empress
is now on his way to be the greatest money VIM
ming thoroughbred of American turf history"
Though Exterminator seems likely to achieve the
distinction of having more money than any
other horse in turf history, he is still long, long
way from being the largest winner of races That
hard-earned distinction probably belongs to the
American horse Kingston. He started 1873 times,
won SO races was second "a times, third IL times
and unplaced only four times. His earnings were
S13S917 This Is truly wonderful record in its
high percentage of winning performances and It's
low percentage of "also rams
Among all the great money winning horses of the
British turf, the quest for one like Kingston or
Exterminator is in vain. In list of 100 that show
the largest earnings not one has run as many races
as "Old Bones has already run. Rataplan stands
out among them with his record of II starts and
Al winning performances He was nine times sec
ond, five times third and IS times unplaced. OF
the horses that won 100000 more in England
Tristan as the leading winner of races He start
cd 53 times was 20 times first, II times second g
times third and times unplaced His earnings
were $126306.
The American turf boasts 26 horses that have
RIM more than 100 races and this count does not
90 back to the brave days OF old, but is limited to
the neriod since the Civil war. Bad News was the

winning "a races and $47, 1873 The famous mare,
INN. started I'll times and won 81 races and $780,
600 Jack Atkin, whose progeny are now running
and winning, started 1876 times and won 56 races
and S8513O Banquet's score was 1853 starts 81
wins and S118,535.
In the meantime new money-winning star has
anpeared upon the horizon-Zev, winner of the
Kentucky Derby and the. Withers, the Paumonok
and the Rainbow. He is three-year-old son of
The Finn-Miss Kearney, has won four out OF his
Eve starts this year and belongs to Harry +. Sim
clair the oil man. who races under the name Of the
Rancocas stable. Zev won $25,665 as a two-year-old
and his winnings this year already total $79,S0O
so lie has $104,465 start toward the money-Win-
ming championship at this writing Moreover he Is
in the hands of the wizard trainer" Sam Hill
dreth, under whom the Rancocas stable has already
won in "a days Of racing over $4,000 and was
the leading American winner in 1921 and 1922
Zev apparently has the speed to go to the front
quickly in any field. He led all the way In the
Kentucky Derby and ran the mile and quarter IN
2:O5 2-5, with 126 pounds up; winning by one and
one-half lengths from field Of 81 horses He also
led all the way in the Withers and ran the mile In
