The 1947 Preakness Stakes was the 57th running of the $100,000 added Preakness Stakes, a horse race for three-year-old Thoroughbreds. The second leg of the U.S. Triple Crown series took place on May 10, 1947, and was run seven days after the 1947 Kentucky Derby. Ridden by Douglas Dodson, who was praised by the Daily Racing Form for a smart ride, Faultless won the mile and three sixteenths race by one and a quarter lengths over runner-up On Trust with the betting favorite Phalanx in third. Jet Pilot, winner of the Kentucky Derby, finished fourth. The race was run on a track rated fast in a final time of 1:59 flat.{{cite web |url=http://www.laurelpark.com/sites/www.laurelpark.com/files/content/handicapping |title=Pimlico/Laurel 2017 Media Guide |publisher=Maryland Jockey Club |date=2018-01-01 |accessdate=2018-08-12 }}{{Dead link|date=May 2020 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}{{cite web|url=https://drf.uky.edu/catalog/1940s/drf1947051201/drf1947051201_9_1 |title=Official Racing Charts: Pimlico|publisher=Daily Racing Form at University of Kentucky Archives |date=1947-05-12 |accessdate=2018-11-07}}
