...year. The Preakness (second of racing's Big Three for three-year-olds) offered new proof that in 1947 there are four of them who stand out above all the rest, but not yet above each other. The horses that finished one-two-three-four in the Preakness (Faultless, On Trust, Phalanx and Jet Pilot) had finished three-four-two-one in the Kentucky Derby. Faultless' $98,005 Preakness purse was the biggest ever won by a three-year-old. Next: the Belmont Stakes...

...take kindly to whipping (and Owner Arden disapproves too). The result was the closest Derby finish in eleven years. From far behind, the 2-to-1 favorite, Phalanx, Eddie Arcaro up, came up strong and was only a head behind Jet Pilot at the end. Another head back was Faultless.

Ben's record proved conclusively that he knew how to saddle a Kentucky Derby winner: Lawrin (1938), Whirlaway (1941), Pensive (1944). Faultless was the Kentucky horse to beat...

This week, Phalanx' Derby odds took a tumble to 2-1 (Faultless, 3-1; On Trust, 6-1). At that price, he was definitely a horse to beat. Phalanx, lagging less than usual, had just copped one division of Jamaica's $40,000 Wood Memorial. He ran the mile and a sixteenth, apparently under wraps, in 1:43 4/5. His jockey, long-nosed Eddie Arcaro, is the best stakes rider in the business and he is just as intent as Calumet's Ben Jones on winning his fourth Derby...
