BALTIMORE, Md,

May 9.—~The $100,000 added Preakness stakes,

one of the world’s richest races, drew a fleld of 11 speedy three-year-olds today, headed by Kentucky Derby winner Jet Pilot and the two horses he nosed out in that dramatic triumph, Phalanx and Faultless,

Four other Derby horses—On Trust,

Bomb, who was fifth; Bullet Proof, were entered along with the top trio.

Rounding out. the field were Cor-

‘nish Knight, King Bay, Contest and

Secnav, all of whom either were not eligible or declined to run at Louisville last Saturday. When they go to the post at 4:10 p. m. (C. D, T.) tomorrow -for the #ith: running of the Preakness, Jet Pilot and Phalanx were expected to be co-favored at 2 to 1 with Faultlens the third choice at 4 to 1. None of the aqther eight horses in the field was accorded much of a chance, although ( King Bay wag drawing some horse attention because of a good early morning workout.

Winner to Get $100,000 The field was smaller than expected as a minimum of 12 had been forecast. Walter M. Jeffords’ Unele Remus, however, was entered in the third race instead of the sixth-—the Preakness—to cut the field down and two other probables, Double Jay and Mityme, were taken out of the picture yesterday. But if all-11 go, the total purse will be $138,140, with approximately $100,000 going to the winner. That will make it the richest net value race ‘since Azucar won $108,000 in

who finished fourth; Cosmic seventh, and Riskolater, deventh—

LO the 1936 Santa Anita Derby. % The Derby horses will have the same jockeys who rode them at Louisville. Prospects were for a fast track and never has the pre-Preakness dope been as confused as in this run for the black-eyed susans. It's all Jet Pilot, Phalanx and Maultless, and the latter two were gaining support because the track figures to be more to their liking than was the muddy strip at Churchill Downs at Louisville. Both barely missed catching Jet Pilot, who likes off tracks, at the wire. Trainer Tom Smith for Mrs: Elizabeth . Arden Graham's Maine Chance farm, however, said he was not worried about the condition of the track. “Jet Pilot can go on any kind of 8 track and these flat turns Here at Pimlico are made to order for him,” Smith said. : Phalanx and Fautless also were pronounged in fine shape.
