His second biggest plum was the $4,510 he received for winning the Kentucky Derby in 1881 and his biggest was only $6,000. Assault's record is mighty but Hindoo's is mightier.

Up until Man o' War came along, Hindoo was most often classed as America's greatest race horse. 330 W. Chestnut St. WA 4832 w. HILE Assault has amassed his $613,370 on mum 1 DOMINO for 27 years and Stymie for seven days.

Those are the short and the long reigns of America's money-winning horse champions since 1880, when the great Hindoo stepped on the throne. Stymie, one of the greatest bargains in turf history, hardly had his long tail adjusted for the uncomfortable task of throne-sitting when he was booted off by another stretch-running Texan, Assault. Assault, last year's "Triple Crown" champion, reclaimed the title he had taken away frcm mighty Whirlaway three weeks ago by beating Stymie a neck in a thrilling stretch duel Butler Handicap on July 12. The $36,700 he picked up in this race boosted his earnings for 2Vi years of racing to $613,370, which probably made that early champion, Hindoo, turn over in his grave. Stymie, whom the astute trainer Hirsch Jacobs got ut of the claiming ranks for $1,500 several years ago, earned $10,000 for finishing second in the Butler, which swept his earnings to $605,510.

This story was written before the running of the $100,000 International Gold Cup Race at Belmont yesterday. But with Assault, Stymie and Armed running so close together, it can be anybody on almost any day. Editor.

Assault has finished worse than third on six occasions. Dcmino, who ruled the money roost from 1893 until Man War knocked him off his perch in 1920, is unique among the money-winning champions in that he won almost all of his money as a 2-year-old. He won all nine of his starts in 1893 for $170,790. Although he took 10 of his 16 starts as a 3 and 4-year-old, Domino only managed to hike his total about $20,000 to $193,550. But if he hadn't picked up that "chicken feed" at 3 and4, Domino's reign would have ended in the early 1900's.
