But most of the julep jawing today was around one of the Derbys oldest jinxes, and whether Star Reward was the young fellow to laugh it off, Faultless and Star Reward sipped under the wire only heads apart in the Derby Trial mile yesterday after "The Reward" was 1 practically left at the post an I enme whooping up to second. This recalled the two hard luck stories automobile-body builder Charlie Fisher from Detroit keeps right on trying but cant seem to make that necklace of roses and, the story about the winner of the trial never winning the derby four duys later. Thin lime.

It could be differ rnt, what with War Reward running at the first of those Jinx stories, and Faultless having a go at the second. Of course, besides these, theres something a lot tough -r to handle on a race track, anil thats the gentleman from Virginia, strotch-xUxling Phalanx. The field Is a sure 12 now, with a 13th starter possible. No. 13 would be Master Mind, a Virginia-bred galloper owned by Mrs.

In the trial yesterday, Double Jay, the Delaware restauranters' blue plate special, stopped as if hed run Into Joe Louis right nand and finished fifth, and Cosmic Bomb fizzled to third after lighting Faultless for the lead for a while.

This Is the eighth time hes been bark since then, and the best he can tell the children about are the seconds with Sweep All In 1931 and Hpy Song Just a year ago. But, Star Reward, a smooth-stepping black son of the quick young lady who won the 1931 Arlington Futurity, Far Star, Is rated better than Spy Song by those who know them both. but still beaten six lengths.

That's what makes horse racing. Phalanx runs in the colors of I i millionaire C. V. (Sonny) Wliit-jney, who had some great horses, notably Equipoise and Top Flight, but he never won the Derby. He tried twice before.

Ben Jones, who trains Faultless, lias won the Derby three times. Hes lost with two other entries, which proves he cant win em all, as many people believe. His other winners were Lawrin for Herbert' M. Woolf in 1938 and Warren Wrights Calumet Farm horses, Whirlaway in 41 and Pensive in '44. Only Count Fleet, the last odds-on Derby winner, bettered Phalanxs Wood Memorial time of 1:43 4-5 for the mile and a sixteenth.

Ami Phalanx ran the race with 126 pounds Derby weight on his hack. remarkable tiling about Phalanx is Ilia) the Wood was his second sjart of 1917 and his performance was an improvement of live lengths over the efforts he Showed for the same distance with four pounds less in his first lulling of the year. A length is equivalent to no-lil'th of a second in racing. Clipping a full second off a performance of (lie previous week is quite a task. Phalanx did this with plenty o'f steam left and in a race two weeks before the Derby, whicu 1 is three-sixteenths of a mile longer than the Wood.

Other Derby contenders appear to lie Stepfather, On Trusl, Jet Pilot and Double Jay. There are other horses In the Derby. Make no mistake about that. But its going to be mighty hard to separate Phalanx and Faultless.
