NEW YORK. June 4.-America's S
counterpart of the EPSON Derby, the
70-year-old Belmont Stakes, is to be
run today with only one top-flight s.
year-old in the field of six.
Where year ago War Admiral was
aiming to complete his triple crown"
by winning the Belmont, today it was
William du Pont, jr's Dauber against
the field. Neither Herbert M. Woolf' S
Kentucky Derby winner, Lawrin, nor
Stagehand. which won both the Derby
and the handicap at Santa Anita, was
named for the Belmont. Probably
their owners didn't consider them good
enough to race over the gruelling mile
and a half against strong opposition.
Cravat Is Big Threat.
That left Dauber, winner of the
Preakness over a muddy track. second
in the Kentucky and Santa Anita
Derbies, as the stand-out favorite. He
shouldn't have much trouble coming
down that long stretch at Belmont
Park to beat his ordinary rivals and
win the major share of the S46,500
purse. He's stretch runner and it's a
race where speed in the stretch counts.
If he wins as expected, Dauber will be
rated the champion 3-year-old despite
his Derby failure
Townsend B. Martins Cravat, which
trailed Dauber in the Preakness. is
figured as his strongest rival today.
Cravat also is rated a natural slayer.
Mrs. w. Plunket Stewards Pasteurized,
which recently beat a good group of
older horses, is getting some support.
Other Rich Races.
With a fast track, Dauber is ex-
pected to go to the post 3-5 favorite.
with even shorter odds If it should
rain. Cravat is rated about 7-2 and
Pasteurized 81.
The other three named overnight
were Mrs. w. NJ Jeffords' jolly Tar,
Ogden Phipps' Magic Hour and John
Hay Whitney's Gentle Savage.
The Belmont program also includes
the $12,740 National Stallion Stakes
for 2-year-olds and the s2,190 Meadow
