dropped into the entry box yesterday Phalanx jointly owned by Whitney and Virginia Abe Hewitt continued to hold the favorite's role he assumed after the Wood Memorial But almost as highly regarded were the Kentucky bred autless from Warren Wright's Calumet farm and Mrs Elizabeth $41000 beauty Jet Pilot who still has the experts talking about the race he won in the mud on derby day of 1946 To
