14 THE POST.STANDARD, Syracuse, N. Tuesday, July 19,1966 OCEANPORT, They had begun to report to their assignments in the cool, clean sunshine of the new day which follows dawn At old Belmont out on Long Island and over at rustic horse farms which dot the New Jersey shore and further lo the south on the main oval at Delaware Park. They stood out among the army of exercise boys, galloping thoroughbreds, like stray Gulliver's at a convention In Lilliput. They are heavier-and taller than the little men who ride the flats and, unlike so many of the ones who gallop horses in the mornings, they are not looking for a breakthrough. They already have their jobs and this is a form of moonlighting which insures the fact that wharl- ever happens in the afternoon, they will have already earned their getaway money in morning.

These are the men who ride the jumpers. Most of them will tell you that flat races are a drag. Buddy Jacobson, a trainer of both runners and jumpers, who has won more than 300 races in the past two years, will tell you that' they are something special. "A jockey on a runner," Buddy says, "is just a passenger. A jockey on a jumper has to ride the race." "The only time I get to see them," says Dr.

Stanley 0. Wilkins, the track physician at Monmouth Park, "is when somebody carries them in here. They simply aren't going to walk through my door and say they fell and they want to be x-rayed. They are afraid we might find something and tell them they couldn't ride." If they're lucky, the men who ride the jumpers will get as many as four mounts a week. Their season is a short one and it takes them to Aqueduct and here at Monmouth and Delaware Park and Saratoga and after that the game is over.

After that there is the hunt meeting held in places like Camden, S.C. and Mlddleburg, where the fees are somewhat lower and the natural barriers of the course can be even moro treacherous than the man-made ones at the pan-mutuel tracks. On this day at Monmoath Park there was one hurdle race, a mile-an-three-quarter swing for maiden jumpers and the jocks who would ride them began heading for Monmouth from Delaware, where they had galloped runners in ihe morning. Joe Aitcheson ihree times national leader of this club, arrived early. At noon he sat on a leather couch in the jock's room end offered to show a man his collar bone.

Aitcheson's collar bone is a work of art. It is a semi- flexible nob of bone tissue, anchored to nothing and it wiggles so freely that you get the fee ing that any moment he will put it back in pocket. "I broke it six times," he explains. "Every body who rides jumpers breaks his colJa bone. Doctors say it is the natural point of im pact when you fall off a horse in flight.

Bu when the others get here you will see what mean. Usually we have about five broken co lar bones in the group at the same time. Oh year we had eight." He explains this in much the same way catcher will show you his fingers and say iha foul tips are something you live with. To re-en force this point, Aitcheson called over a youn Englishman named Ronald Armstrong. Armstrong used to ride the runners in Eng land and never once got himself as far as th hospital.

Then he got too big and they had put him on the junipers and now he has joinei this exclusive club of professional out-patients The right side of Armstrong's collar bone looks like something out of a geometry text book. "Who you riding-today?" Armstrong asked Aitcheson, "A green one named Rudy Rullah." "Any "Well, we don't know yet. He's pretty green." "No thanks," Armstrong said, "I can do without those kind." A sreen horse, one who is still schooling al the business of jumping, can be something of problem. You have to keep him outside anc yield the ground saving potential of the rail because you have to be sure he sees all the jumps. It is no small thing.

Last May. Aitcheson xode a thing called Thornycroft and Thornycroft blew a jump at Aqueduct. Then the other half of his entry, a horse named Les Trod, came down on Thorny- croft and Aitcheson. Then they put him in the ambulance, a trip which has become something like the commuter's special to Aitcheson (10 hospitals in 10 years and 25 spills in the last two), Aitcheson knew that this trip was going to be a little different. It was different.

It was a punctured lung, three broken ribs, head injuries and internal bleeding different. They tore him down like an old car generator and started rebuilding. Now there is a big bony lump on Aatcheson's right abdomen and he cannot sleep on his stomach. Still, it was a small price when weighed against the way it could have ended. "1 don't want to knock the runners" Joe says.

"They do what they do well and they get 5-10 times as much money for it. But all they do is run in circles. We," he added, "are a little bit different" I Vernon Results riRST TROT. SWO Clny Don A. Allen) HI rlorltsm Flash (P.
