BY HUGH FULLERTON, Jr.
NEW YORK, May 1.LR-Some-
times a guy takes liking to race
horse for no other reason than he
likes its looks, or its name, or the
way it runs-as some horse players
have learned to their dismay.
Two years ago at Churchill
Downs this writer took a fancy
to a handsome. bright chestnut
colt named Jet Pilot and as a re-
suit picked it to win last years
Kentucky Derby.
Instead Of retiring on these I'M
earned laurels as a racing expert,
we looked at Calumet's Coaltown
when he equalled the six furlong
record at Hileah last winter-so
here we go again.
Coaltown is an eye-filling dark
bay colt who looks smaller than
he really is He's fast as a
streak, as two track records in his
four starts prove.
