ARCHER AND RICHARDS
Bets On Winning Totals
(Rec. 7 p.m.) LONDON, October 27. Thousands of pounds in bets are involved in a controversy 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 Guide gave the total as 2748 and now, after further research, gives Archer 2749 winners. 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 8, 10 or 11 winners and a pretty dispute is likely if he succeeds in eight races. One bookmaker has £lO,OOO involved in his bet on the figure of 2748.
