Crack US jockey Willie Shoe-maker may ride in Australia this year. MRC secretary J. C. Reilly said today his club would make strenuous efforts to have Shoemaker ride in the next Invitation Stakes at Caulfield in September. Mr. Reilly asked Shoemaker to visit for the last Invitation Stakes but he could not accept. This year an even more attractive proposition will be made to him. Shoemaker in 1953 put up the amazing performance of riding 485 winners in a year. This is a world record. Previous best was 390 by Tony Despirito, also in America. February 27, 1952.
