Didn't Bellamy Road come out of the Derby with an injury? Regardless, there have also been plenty of horses who ran superb preps and did repeat form in the Derby. Thinking of War Emblem and Charismatic, off the top of my head.

Last year many thought Street Sense would be a Derby toss after his huge BC Juvenile win.
