New York, June 4.
Mighty Johnstown, winner of the Kentucky Derby, outrun a field of seven three-year-olds here yesterday to win the Belmont Stakes by five lengths in one of the greatest races of his career.
Adding another $25,000 to his $103,295 all-time earnings, Johnstown covered the mile and a half track in 2 minutes, 29% seconds, matching the winning time of two great past winners, Twenty Grand and War Admiral. Belay came home second, five lengths behind Johnstown, and Gilded Knight was third.—United Press.
