Winnipeg Free Press (Newspaper) - January 2, 1951, Winnipeg, Manitoba Page 14 Winnipeg tuesday january 1951 surge beats canadians views on sport by Ted Bowles coming with a Rush in the last half of Winnipeg monarchs crept to within two Points the league leading Brandon wheat Kings monday afternoon at the amphitheatre Downing Winni figuratively waiter i her is top jockey leg canadians 6-4 in a Manitoba Junior Battle. Aeter a Dull and scoreless first son potted the canadians markers. Period both teams got goal Happy i monarchs were the better team new York some hours after 1951 happened this Bureau put its several Heads together and made them do sums by Way of penance. The result was the following comparison the feats of equitation a. Complis hed by. Willie Shoemaker Joe Culmone and Walter Miller who now share the american record foe Riding winners of horse races each having captured 388 heats in a single year. Culmone taking mounts in 1950, was Defeated More often than Shoemaker who Rode races and Shoemaker was busier than Miller who had Only mounts when he set the american record in 1906. A a Culmone won 33 per cent of his races was first or second in 40 per cent., and finished in the Money in 52 per cent. The Shoemaker won with 24 per cent of his mounts got 40 per cent of them Home in first or second place and finished one two three with 54 per cent. Miller s winning percentage was 28. He won or placed in 50 per cent of his races and won placed or showed 68 per cent. Of the time. He was out of the Money with Only 497 of his mounts. His batting average remains far and away the Best Ever scored in american horse Yards in the 56 years records have been kept a winning percent age of .28 has been achieved Only three times twice by Miller who made the same Mark in 1907 when he won with 334 of his mounts end once by t. Burns who won 277 of his 973 races in 189s. On the last Day of , Culmone Rode eight races at Havana s Oriental Park and scored with three Short Price horses one of his Vic tories being half a dead heat. Shoemaker Rode eleven races at Agua Caliente in Mexico and got three favourites across. Now when a boy is winning his agent has a wide Choice of mounts because All owners like to have a Little something extra going for them and wish to capitalize on the kid s winning Streak. Thus a hot boy gets hot horses which keep him winning. Obviously Culmone and Shoemaker were trying in every race rid ing As often and As Well As they knew How in their tearing Rush to take honors for and break Miller s All time record. At Oriental Park and Caliente they were in with minor league Competition for the most part having no Eddie Arcaro s or Ted Atkinson s to worry them. A yet with everything in their favor a Flat play of on each of Culmone s mounts would have produced a net loss of on i the last Day the Suine investment on each of Shoemaker s races j would have Cost s10 net. Let us begin a new year by meditating upon that lesson the Van Ity of betting jockeys.

The bos ton red sox again will finish somewhere behind the new York Yankees in spite of pressure from the Bright Young Phillies whose loss of Curt Simmons will be considerably eased by. The Fine pitching of Ken Johnson the Brooklyn dodgers will get hunk with destiny and win in the National league. The giants need for a fourth starting Pitcher to complement , Hearn and Maglie will become increasingly Evi Dent As the season goes on although new York will make a Strong somebody will punch Joe Louis into permanent retirement and Elziard Charles will consolidate his position As the unchallenged Boss of the heavyweights. With or without the acquiescence of joke Lamola sugar Robinson will clean up the middleweight division and make menacing faces at the Light heavyweight class. Kike Williams the fading lightweight quit. Sandy Saddler will have it easy among the featherweight. Big stretch will win the Kentucky Derby. Notre Dame will again lose at least two football games. Ben Hogan will win no major Golf championship and Young players will come to the front among both the amateurs and the professionals. If there is International Tennis Competition Australia will turn Back America s Challenge for the Davis cup.
