Gayego, the Arkansas Derby (G2) winner, finished a troubled 17th in the Kentucky Derby, in which he had to be steadied in traffic after getting off to a sluggish start. Lobo said his colt never got into the race after his early troubles.
“That’s the reason we are thinking about (the Preakness),” he said. “He’s very happy right now and he came back very sound.”

Gayego could offer EXCELLENT value underneath in the Preakness. He's much better than his Derby performance, and there generally isn't much support for 17th place finishers in the Derby.
