TURF'S COIN KING
EASY TO HANDLE
Sun Beau Has Won for Many
Trainers and Isn't Finnicky
About Who Rides Him.
BY ORL0 ROBERTSON,


n YEW YORK, August 8.-Jockeys
and trainers all look alike to
Sun Beau, recently crowned
Americas all-time money win
ming champion.
In a colorful career that has carried
him over practically every major track
in the. United States and Canada in
five years of racing, the Willis Sharpe
Kilmer 6-year-old has been ridden by
no fewer than seven jockeys and sad
died by eight trainers.
It is questionable II there ever has
been q performer of such high merit as
Sun Beau which has won for so many
trainers.
Different With Sun Beau.
Earl Sande was aboard Zev and Gal
liant Fox during the greater part OF
their brilliant climbs to the top Of the
financial heap, while the late Sam Hill
dreth saddled Zev for every one OF his
victories, and Sunny Jim Fitzsimmons
threw the blanket over the Fox in his
sensational 3year-old triumphs last
year. 49,,
Italian veteran, was the most success
full of the boys that have won with "a
nous offsprings OF sun Brlar. ne
scored in Is races with the big pay,
but was also aboard when Sun Beau
failed to win the 100000 Auga Callente
Handicap last Winter
j. Cragmile, now riding in the bushes,
accounted for seven purses with the
Ktlner veteran, while Louis Schaefer
and Charlie Kurtsinger won two each.
PONY McAtee and P. Goodwin eacn
brought him into the winners cree
once.
Charlie Phillips, latest jockey to
mount the champion, has pHoted nm
past the Judges stand winner OF ms last
three races. including the Arlington
Cup and Arlington Handicap.
All Are Alike TO Him.
With trainers it makes no difference
either. Jack Whyte, Sun Beau's present
conditioner. took charge of him en- the
eve of the Arlington Handicap, but ne
stepped the mile and quarter III
2. Ol AS for a new track record. Whyte
saddled Sun Beau for his last three trl-
umphs
Of the octet Of trainers. Bill Irvine
and Doc Crawford had the best fortunes,
each saddling the Sun Briar- Beautiful
Lady horse for eight victories.
George Phillips and Andy Blakeiy nae
the least each winning only single
C. w. Carroll, who brought Norwich
to New York and sold him for the
proverbial song, won a half dozen races
with the Kilmerite, while Bill Short, and
Andy Schuttinger accounted for TWO
races each with the crack cup per-
former.

6-year-old son of Sun Briar- Beautiful
Lady. has announced that his champion

His chief rivals in recent races, Gal
liant knight and Mike Hall apparently
wanted no more OF sun Beau, for they
were not named among the nine other
prospective starters. Willard Mack's a.
year-old Satin Spar and Plucky Play,
winner of the Stars and Stripes Handi-
J cap at Arlington Park, were regarded as
/ the likely contenders, while Silverdale
