I'm pretty sure that Street Sense will be there. Just a hunch.

Probably a good hunch.

And according to bloodhorse, Curlin is a go.

When was the last time a Derby winner didn't try the Preakness?

I answered a question that was asked.....I don't see how that has anything to do with trying to be clever.

Grindstone missed the race with an injury if memory serves me right, he never ran again.

Grindstone actually won the Derby and was found to have a slab fracture the next morning. He never went to the track again.

It was six days later according to Avalyn Hunter. I believe it was a bone chip but not sure.

I think the answer u are looking for is Spend a Buck in 1985. He instead ran in the Jersey Derby, in pursuit of a $2.6 million payday from a bonus that came with winning the Jersey Derby, the Kentucky Derby, and two other NJ races, the Garden State Stakes and the Cherry Hill Mile.

Grindstone was retired before he could attempt the Preakness... he's the last one.

They are assuming he asked the question wanting to know when the last Derby winner skipped the race while sound and healthy.
