There are a few 3-year-olds
who did not run in the Derby
who could cause trouble for
Garry Back, the automatic
early choice in the Preakness
after convincing the last Of
the skeptics that he is Of cham
pionship caliber.
One Of the most formidable
non-Derby starters bein g
prepped for the Preakness is the
King Ranch's Bal Musette, who
won Bowie's Governors Gold
Cup in March. Trainer Max
Hirsch reports from New York
that Bal Musette has completely
recovered from a recent in
jury and he hopes to have the
colt in the Preakness lineup.

LOUISVILLE, May 8.-This was long

model ranged up. "Ill beat that cab

ised the driver, broken-noSed native in
a checkered cap This a souped-up job
It'll outrun any police Ford on the road"
There was no hood on the jalopy but
the rain falling on the naked engine didn't
bank its fires. There was bullet hole in
the left rear window, just back of the
drivers head. "A lousy As, guess" the
stranger explained. "All on account of
carrying a little bootleg whisky"
But he made good his promise to the
extent of pulling up at the Kentucky Hotel
in q dead heat with the lucky StiffS." And
that term now was seen to be an under

Garry Back has an oppor-
tunity to add the second jewel
of the Triple Crown. It's been

Citation became the eighth
Triple Crown winner.
Derby Winners Jinxed
Winning the Derby is fast
becoming a jinx Of fairly Seri-
Gus proportions in the Freak
ness. Since 1948 six Derby
winners have come here and
failed.
In 1949 Calumet's Ponder
took the Derby but finished
fifth in the Preakness. The fol-
lowing spring, King Ranch's
underground was first in Ken
lucky but second here to Hill
Prince. Dark Star upset Native
Dancer in the '53 Derby, but
the Vanderbilt-owned cham
pion won the Preakness as
Dark Star ran fifth.
Three years later, Needles
became the first Florida bred
to win the Derby, but failed
to overhaul Calumet's Fabius
in the PreaknesS. The follow
ing year, Calumet's Iron Liege
was first in the Derby but was
forced to settle for second in
the Preakness, bowling to Bold
Ruler. And last year the jinx
took its toll on Venetian Way
as Bally Ache led all the way.
