Top U.S. Jockeys To Duel In |)J Arcaro Competes Against Guerin In Big Classic By FRANK ECK AP Newsfeatures Sports Editor The story of the 1955 Kentucky Derby may not be the cinch some experts are predicting for Nashua ' now that he has beaten Summer i Tan four times out of five. The total margin of Nashua's four wins is less than one length. The race at Churchill Downs on 1 Saturday (May 7) could develop, | into a tense riding duel between 'the "million dollar jockeys" ?Ed die Arcaro on Nashua and Eric Guerin aboard Summer Tan. - Between tnem the two veteran : saddiesmiths have accounted for S2,038,880 in stake purses over 1 the last 16 months. Although com parative figures are unavailable it is believed to be a record haul for two riders over such a short stretch of time. In 1954 Arcaro won 29 stakes with 18 different horses over 11 race tracks in 7 states. The win ning owners received $896,190. Based on the usual 10 per cent a rider gets for winning a stake, Ar caro last year came close to earning $90,000 for 29 rides. Guerin took down 21 stakes with 12 different horses over 8 tracks in 5 states in 1954. Winning own ers received $692,445 for these vic tories. Guerin has the jump on Arcaro. By winning eight stakes this spring, Guerin has won $231,445 for owners of four horses. Arcaro has earned $218,800 in purses with three stake wins this year. However, Arcaro has been run ning into bad luck, despite his winning efforts with Nashua In two $100,000 races?The Flamingo and Florida Derby. Thus far this year Arcaro has had three 10-day sus pensions. Eddie won the $163,360 Santa Anita Maturity with Miz Clemen tine but the horse was disqualified for a foul. Jamaica and Bowie sus pensions also cost Arcaro the mount on Nashua in the Wood Memorial and on Fsherman in the Excelsior. UnliKe Arcard, who rides free lance, Guerin is under contract to Alfred G. Vanderbilt's stable. This has had its reward because Van derbilt in the last two years has had Native Dancer. Social Outcast and Fjnd among his stake winners. Arcaro, who in the ldfct 15 years has been the rider most in demand for rich races, is the only jockey who has won the Derby Ave times. At the age of 40 he is favored to make it No. 6 with Nashua, the William Woodward colt he couldn't ride in the Wood because of a suspension for a minor riding in fraction. In February, when Ted Atkinson, aboard Saratoga, lodged a claim of foul against Arcaro and Nashua in the Flamingo, Arcaro said: "Nashua is the best 3-year-old. He will make any horse quit and he has yet to run his best race." Acaro and Nashua will get a big chance to prove it in the Derby, the first of racing's Big 3 ? the others are -the Preakness at Pimli eo. May 28 and the Belmont at Belmont Park on June 11. Only Summer Tan, a game hearted colt?and Jockey Guerin? seem to stand in the way of Nashua taking a stranglehold on 3-year old honors.
