Belmont Stakes Next Big Objective for Faultless Undecided Whether Preakness Winner Will Have Prep Race HAVRE DE GRACE, Md., May 12.— Calumet Farms fine Preakness winner. Faultless, came out of Saturdays 00,000 classic in the best of condition and will remain at Pimlico for a day or two before being transferred to New York, trainer H. A. "Jimmy" Jones revealed here today. The capable young Calumet conditioner, still reflecting the tremendous thrill of saddling Faultless for his triumphant run in the one mile and three-sixteenths Preakness, also revealed that his dad, Ben Jones, and Jockey Doug Dodson returned to Louisville, Ky., immediately following the running of Saturdays race. Young Jones, who has 21 Calumet Farm thoroughbreds quartered here at Havre de Grace, said that Faultless would start in the Belmont Stakes, third and final leg of the coveted "Triple Crown," but was not certain at this time whether the strapping brown son of Bull Lea — Unerring would engage in a race prior to the Belmont running.
