Default Has the Derby ever sent just 1 horse to the Preakness?

Any historians know if there was ever a time when only the winner went on to the Preakness.

Yeah, when they were run the same day in 1917 and 1922. Since the Triple Crown was officially established though I'd be curious if there have been any.

Citation was the only horse from his Derby. I think it's happened about 3 or 3 times in the last 100 years.
