No love for the Preakness?

This is a good point and I think some of it has to do with last year's result and an "anything goes" type attitude about the Derby. The fact that the graded stakes earnings bar has been set so high this year as well leaves many out of the mix. Should more connections be concentrating on the Preakness? Sure, however the memories of a 50-1 outsider winning the Derby from a race at Sunland that no one cared about from a trainer who hadn't won a thoroughbred race all year are still fresh.
