AMATEUR RIDERS OVER THE FENCES ( 51 NOTABLE INCREASE OF CAPABLE STEEPLECHASE JOCKEYS WELL - BACKED WINNERS AT LEICESTER By WATCHMAN A noticeable feature of the National Hunt season so far has been the large number of amateur riders in open races . It is by no means uncommon to find six or seven of these horsemen in fairly large fields , and the question arises whether this is alto- . gether to the interest of winter racing . I have heard it suggested that the increase in the number of amateur riders is a most unfortunate thing for the professional horseman , and it must be admitted that it is galling for the paid jockey to find him self denied a mount in this way . On the other hand , I think it can be main tained that the spread of amateur riding under National Hunt rules must in the long run be of benefit to the sport . In some instances the gentleman rider of to - day is the owner of to - morrow . Nobody can declare that winter racing is over supplied with owners of the right type , and the more people who can be induced to take a practical interest in the sport the better it will be for its future . The popularity of point - to - point racing has doubtless had a good deal to do with the increase in the number of amateur race riders . From the hunting meetings to the racecourse is a natural step , and many of the gentlemen riders who are doing well in National Hunt racing won their spurs in point - to - point events . HAS RIDING IMPROVED ? My own view is that the standard of amateur riding under National Hunt rules has much improved during the past twenty Where there were five or six really years competent amateurs in the old days , thirty or forty may now be counted . In order to meet the growth in the number of gentle men riders the National Hunt Committee has been obliged to strengthen its regula tions as to the granting of amateur permits .. The result of the new restrictions has been to cause a number of men who were riding without payment two or three seasons ago to take out professional licences . Some years have elapsed since the Grand National was won by an amateur rider . Mr. W. Dutton in 1928 was the last , but it will be recalled that Mr. E. C. Paget narrowly missed success on Egremont two seasons ago , while in the spring Mr. F. Furlong was second in the big steeple chase on Really True , and Mr. M. Barry third on Slater . The nast named has now joined the ranks of professional jockeys . Among other horsemen who rode in last season's National were Mr. R. Harding , Captain Prior - Palmer , Major H. Misa , Lord Haddington , Mr. P. Cazalet , Mr. G. Elliott , Mr. G. H. Bostwick , Mr. A. Mildmay , and Lord Somerton , of whom the last named has become Lord Normanton on the death of his father . Sir Peter Grant Lawson has won a num ber of races during the present season , while Mr. Payne - Gallwey , Mr. F. Walwyn , Mr. R. G. Fanshawe , Mr. M. Little , Mr. Dennistoun , Mr. H. Lloyd - Thomas , and Mr. R. Corbett , are among others who have held their own when riding in the com pany of professional jockeys during the past few weeks . 1934 . 9TH QUEEN'S ROYAL LANCERS 1934 .
