Jones Seeks Third Win PIMLICO, Baltimore, Md., May 9.— Ben A. Jones has a chance to saddle his third Preakness winner tomorrow if Faultless should reverse the decision over Phalanx and Jet Pilot of last Saturdays Kentucky Derby. Jones just missed by two heads for his fourth Derby winner, but he could put his name up among the Preakness training greats by a victory. His other Preakness winners were Pensive, in 1944 and Whirlaway in 1941. R. W. Walden has the record number of Preakness winners, seven, winning his first with the famed Tom Ochiltree in 1875. That was the third running of this famous stake.
