832-2120 CHRIS McCARRON Jockey earns. $2. 5. million with mounts NEW Y6RK (UPI) All the other jocks call him Babyface, and one look at his soft, almost delicate features instantly tell you why. Chris McCarron says hes 19, but looks more like 15.

His voice hasnt really changed, so he still sings soprano, but' oh, brother, can he ride horses! Hes not a journeyman yet, but he can ride em like Eddie Arcaro, Willie Shoemaker and Johnny Longden all put together. None of those three were able to achieve at Chris McCarrons age what he has. Furthermore, it seems safe to say no 19-year-old athlete ever has matched not in cash-onthe barrelhead earnings as opposed to spread-out bonuses, anyway-the quarter million dollars McCarron has won already this year. His mounts have earned $2.5 million. Nor is the blond, blue-eyed apprentice out of Dorchester, sitting around counting his change.

He set a world record by riding his 516th winner of the year at -Laurel Race Course in LaUrol, Tuesday, adding No. 517 before the day was out. Then he came right back yesterday and won four more to bring his total to 521. Calypso Jack, his final winner of the day in the seventh race, paid $31.40 to win. They like to kid Chris McCarron around the track.

They keep asking him what hes going to do with all that money hes making. Hopefully invest it wisely, he said, talking with me from Laurels jockey quarters Wednesday. I havent bought much of anything, only a small car. If my father and mother needed my help, financially, they certainly could have it, but theyre all right by themselves. Theyre both good, hardworking people.

You know my mother keeps worrying about me. Christopher, she says, dont get hurt. Actually, she also worries about her other son, Gregg, six years older than Chris. Gregg is a jockey, too, and wouldnt you know it, when Chris broke the record Tuesday riding Ohmylove, it was Gregg, aboard Boston Ego, who nearly beat him out. He sure tried, anyway.

Almost before getting off his mount, 25-year-old Gregg declared he felt his little brother would go on to become one of the greatest jockeys of all time. Gregg and Chris love one another. How much? A great deal, says Chris. Were very close." This is how close: A year ago, Chris left home to hang around the race tracks in Maryland and be with his brother, Gregg. He thought if he could conquer his fear of heights, specifically getting up on a horse, he might like to become a jockey like his big brother Gregg.

So Chris moved into a stable at Bowie, and that became his home." He has also slept in stables at Rockingham, Suffolk and Pimlico, and still beds down in one now and then. Theyre not too bad," he says. Maybe theyre not real private, but theyre well-heated and comfortable enough. They dont cost anything," either. Theyre sort of bunkhouses where youre about 25 or 50 feet away from the horses.

I love to be near horses. Next to his affection for horses, the youthful New England rider is crazy about hockey. Id love to play for the Boston Bruins," he laughs. Any other ambition? Chris McCarron thinks a moment. Just to become established as a good rider, he says.

At this rate, the slender-teenager could wind up one of the richest jockeys in the world, but one things a cinch-Mrs. McCarrons youngest son never will go high-hat. Hes not only a fine rider, hes a good boy.
