Kartack Awkward
On A Horse

Willie Hartack doesn't look
like a jockey until he gets on
a horse.
Then, if you didn't know
you were looking at the nat
ions leading rider and saw
him bouncing up and down in
the stretch, chances are you
would express sympathy and
hope that he could find en-
ployment in some occupation
to which he would be better
adapted.
Veteran observers marvel at
Hartack'S riding form, wonder
ing how he has managed to
score 400 victories in 1855
while using such grotesquely
awkward methods.
What makes Willie win?
In one mans opinion Willie
wins because he is a great
athlete. He always seems to
have an edge over his rivals
in physical strength and sta
nina. Once the starting gate
springs open Willie is busy
every second. He pleads. push
es and whips with remark
able vigor in race after race
even when he rides eight in
a single day,
At %, he is already finan-
cially independent, due to his
ability to wake up horses and
make them as enthusiastic
as he is. Willie's presence i'm
proves a horse by many
Lengths and the secret seems
to be that the effervescent
little fellow never stops push
ing.
This is not to say that Har-
tack never rates a horse. re-
serving some of his mounts
speed for an opportune move.
But even when saving a horses
energy for a later bid, Har-
tack is not relaxing. He seems
TO talk the horse language
and he keeps reminding his
mount of the voice.
HORSES LIKE PEOPLE"
Il believe in keeping cheap
horses on their toes all the
way" Hartack said recently.
sits different when you're
riding a horse with class. A
class horse will respond when
ever you ask him for his best,
But with cheap horses, you've
got to keep after them all the
time.
II treat horses as individu-
ais and talk to them. If you
can make a horse like you he'll
respond for you. They're Just
like people"
but you've got to keep after
Hartack never gets tired.
That's why he's able to keep
driving when other riders are
more weary than their mounts.
mo, I don't get tired after
five, six, seven or eight races"
he said. I like riding and 1
feel as if could ride more
often than / do. I don't take
any vacations except when I
have to by order of the ste
wards.
Hartack is big for a Jockey :
ITO pounds. He keeps in shape
by Skin-diving, water-skiing
and swimming. He was born
in Pennsylvania but now
makes his headquarters in
West Virginia where he has a
farm. He has no romantic
problems at tht moment and
mo immediate prospects Of
marriage.
His father, a former coal
miner runs his farm
Il have no plans for the
future" Willie says, mo set
goal or anything like that.
I Just want to keep doing my

that for John w. Tucker. In ad-

Insurance
Business Has
Gone to the Dogs

KANSAS CITY, R-The insur-
ance business has gone to the dogs
here, and if that works, one day it
may to go the cats, too.
Two Kansas citizens, Richard
r. Nelson and Gordon J. Reabe,
are offering policies covering hos
pital expenses for pooches who
fall i'll, are wounded in braW1s,
or come too close to car.
Nelson said a similar project
may be worked out for cats if the
dog insurance goes according to
plan.
Since there are no risk tables
for hounds, insurance men Nelson
and Reabe spent several months
Flooding doggedly thru records of
five local veterinarians covering
10000 pets before setting their
premiums.
The insurance isn't intended for
just pedigreed animals, but for
plain dogs as we'll. we've set the
premium low enough-$15 a year
for any owner to be interested,
Nelson said.
The plan provides for such ex-
penses as disqualification, surgery,
x rays, laboratory fees, and drugs
required in treating dogs illness
or accident.
