This might be the best betting Preakness in a non-catastrophic injury (rest in peace, Barbaro) kind of way since 2005. If you want to beat the Derby winner, now's your chance.

I can't imagine Big Drama would be the favorite. That being said, there are some new shooters that could be legit such as Hull and the erstwhile injured Charitable Man and Big Drama.

The public is going to remember the Derby runners...I think Papa Clem or PotN if he goes are sure things to be the favorite

The difference between this and 2005 is that Afleet Alex had a couple of legitimate excuses that year and went off the Preakness favorite at somewhere around 7-2. What are the excuses for 2-4 this year coming out of the Derby? The track?

you don't think the results were skewed by the surface?

The other Bird, Summer Bird ran a positive race being 3-4 deep for most of the trip, at one point he and MTB were side by side when Bor-rail took the inside route and Rosier went into the 7 path. He would have been my smart bet in the Preakness. Now it's back to the drawing board.

I think Hello Broadway and Imperial Council are both going in the Peter Pan this weekend, but it would be interesting to see one of the two take a shot at the Preakness instead.

If the Derby top 4 go I think he will be around 10-1. POTN will be the fave if he goes.
