Little Derby Cash Due
Generous Arcaro
By the Associated Press


LOUISVILLE, KY, April 30.-Big-
hearted Eddie Arcaros ride around
Churchill Downs tomorrow may net
him little more than car fare and a
prominent place in Kentucky Derby
history books, even if he wins.
The banana-nosed Newport. KY,
Italians decision to give half of his
earnings to the widow of Al Snider
cut deep in his potential reward.
But now. 1t develops, he is consider
ing an agreement with Jockey New
bold Pierson whereby the two Calu-
met riders would go $3.50 on each
others share If they collect the
Derby plum.
A victory for either Arcaro on
Citation or Pierson on Coaltown
would net "Heady Eddie little less
than $4,000, and it would be his de-
cision whether to give half the
smaller take or all of it to the widow
Of Snider, former Calumet rider, who
was lost on a Florida fishing trip
last winter.
Arcaro's satisfaction, II he wins,
may have to come in the recognition
Derby history books would give him.
He IS shooting for his fourth Derby
victory, which would make him the
undisputed champion of Derby
riders. He shares with Earle Sande
and Isaac Murphy the distinction of
being the only three-time winners.

Custom, Not Law, Has Downs
Fdcinq Derby Woqerinq Loss

ders the payoff to winning bet
tors. 1t Is made possible by the
custom Of giving the winning
player at least 10 cents on his
dollar.
The pool is the total amount
bet on all horses in race. 1t is
best compared to a mythical
bank account in which everybody
chips in 50. Suppose the bank
takes 10 per cent and the State
collects per cent tax. Then
80 per cent, more or less, of the
contributors withdraw S2.20.
If the betting trend follows
an anticipated heavy play on the
Calumet entry, and if that entry
should win, the result would be
the same.
Out of an expected $l,000,000
handle on the Derby, 100000
may be bet on Warren Wright's
favored racers.
Thirteen per cent-ten for the
track and three for the State-is
deducted before bet is paid off.
That would be $4,000 out of the
$1.O0e,OOO.
Thus, Col. Winn would have
left $870.0O0 to pay off the Calu-
met believers.
But by giving then 10 cents on
each of the 100000 bet, he would
need $880.000. The difference Of
$4,000 in what he needs and
what he has is the minus.
The Downs is not compelled by
law to guarantee the 10-cent re-
turn, but custom almost demands
it. Downs spokesmen have said
they will not stray from that
policy.

If only six start in the 100000
