The Gamow-Teller strength distribution in f-p shell nuclei is important in determining {ital e}{sup {minus}}-capture and {beta}-decay rates on neutron rich nuclei in presupernova and collapsing cores of massive stars. We use the recently available data for p-n and n-p reactions on some of these nuclei to generate a generalized relation for the centroid (in energy) of the G-T distribution in terms of nuclear mass number and neutron excess. We then calculate the energy spectrum of the electron-capture neutrinos which stream freely out of the collapsing star {ital without} {ital further} {ital interactions} (i.e., the pre-trapping neutrinos). The number and spectra of such neutrinos detectable through the charged current reaction on Deuterium in the Sudbury Neutrino Observatory has been computed to be {congruent}50 for a supernova explosion at 500 pc. {copyright} {ital 1995} {ital American} {ital Institute} {ital of} {ital Physics}.
