GORDON RICHARDS

REMAINS LOYAL TO

DARLING STABLE

Amazing Sum Refused By Jockey

"A GREAT PARTNERSHIP”

London, Sept. 11.

It is stated that, despite, an offer of £7,000 a year, plus 10 per cent. of prize money won. Gordon Richards, the champion jockey, has decided to ride next year for Fred Darling the Beckhampton

trainer.

Richards has been first jockey to Beckhampton since 1922. Th 'Aga Khan's offer to Richards was a prodigous one, and one by which he would probably have earned not less than £15.000 a

year..

The Aga Khan's turf prospects are so brilliant at the moment thanks to his wonderful string of high-class young horsos, that it would be possible for a jockey of Richards' colibre to win as much as £20,000 a year. Thus, in the three seasons, the right jockey could make a fortune,

Press Comment

"The Aga Khan's offer to Gordon Richards of $7,000 plus 10 per cent. of winning stake money for three years has never been equalled in the history of racing. It is generally understood that the previous record for a jockey's retainer Was £5,000, given by the late ford Rosebery to Danny Maher when he was at the top of his form.
