behind fright) i is On Trust,

By LEO “H. PETERSEN United Press Sports Editor BALTIMORE, Md,” May 13.— Faultless and Jet Pilot were only a mile and a half away from home today. That distance of the $100,000 added Belmont stakes, to be run over the New York track two weeks from Saturday figured to settle for 1047 the duel for three-year-old horse racing honors. Faultless, the ‘Preakness winner, and Jet Pilot, the Kentucky Derby victor won't be the only horses in the race, but they will be the big ones. They will go into it all even and if either one of them comes down in front, # new turf champion will be crowned—and that is their goal, their “home.”

Mediocre Field

Faultless ran the mile and threesixteenths Saturday in 1:59, two seconds off the track record set by Alsab. TFaultless paid his backers $10.40, 480 and 2.80 and picked up $98,005 as the first place purse. Neither has a chance for the triple crown—the Derby, the Preakness and Belmont—but in their own

themselves to be the best of a mediocre 3-year-old crop. Faultless rates the top when the track is fast—as it was at Pimlico for the Preakness Saturday—and Jet Pilot when the racing strip is off-as it was at Churchill Downs for the Derby.
