ARCHER OR RICHARDS?
HEAVY BETS ON CHAMPION HORSEMAN.
P.A. Gable.
LONDON, Oct. 27.
Thousands of' pounds in bets are involved in a controversy as to whether the jockey Gordon Richards will this season beat Fred Archer's total of winning rides, says the Daily Mail. Archer's aggregate was at first believed to be 2746 winners, but Ruff's Turf Guide gave the total as 2748 and now, after further research, gives Archer's tally as 2749. Richards so far in 1942 has ridden 63 winners, bringing his total to 2739. Thus with three more racing fixtures within the next nine days involving 18 possible mounts, Richards needs to ride eight, ten, or eleven winners, and a pretty dispute is likely if he succeecls in eight. One bookmaker has £10,600 involved in his bet 2746.
