It costs $25 to neminate a thoroughbred for the Derby and $500 more to start him This brings the total to $2,405. The owner likely would have several other horses in his stable. This would increase the running expense In additicn, there are (1) the original cost of the horse, if he was purchased at an auction for several thousand dollars; (2) caring for him for the two years before he starts prepping for the race; (3) traveling expense and (4) equip- ment costs. $1,200, J oeDiMa gio Leavesfor New York;Ends Holdout Leaving the ranks of holdouts, Joe DiMaggio, San Francisco’s contribution to the New York Yankees, is pictured as he recently left the Pacific Coast bound for New York.

Joe was holding out for $40,000, but after the season opened without him he surrendered, say- ing, “I couldn’t hold out any longer. 1 like baseball tco well” Last year DiMaggio was recognized as the “player of the year,” batting an average of .346 and hitting 46 home runs.

Out of the $50,000 he must pay a 10 percent bonus each to the trainer and jockey, in addition to money presents to other members of the stable. Also, the owner probably would have paid a retaining fee of approxi- mately $500 to engage a jockey Some winning owners, said Ros- coe, “would give it all away.” “The gold cup, t00?’ mpire Printing Compan I GUESS YUH HAS AT THAT:- THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE, SATURDAY, APRIL 30, 1938 i By CLIFF STERRETT IF THAT STAIRWAY'S A FAIR SAMPLE OF IT / “I should say not,” answered Goose. “Thats's what they spend thousands of dollars to win. “Horse racing is an expensive game,” he reiterated. “It’s like owning a vyacht.
