I’ll Have Another, Bodemeister (second), Dullahan (third), Went the Day Well (fouth), and Creative Cause (fifth) qualified for automatic Preakness starts by earning a check in the Derby. Hansen and Liaison round out the top seven. In the second tier of the Preakness qualifying system, which is based on open-stakes earnings, Isn't He Clever, Optimizer, Hierro, and Teeth of the Dog are currently sitting eighth through 11th. In the third tier, which is based on total earnings, Pretension, Tiger Walk, and Paynter round out the 14 available spots as of Tuesday. Zetterholm, Cozzetti, Guyana Star Dweej and Brimstone Island (in order listed) are on the also-eligible list in which two spots will be available at entry time.

Im still struggling with whether or not the guy is serious or not. I feel bad for the guy if he honestly thinks that the Derby has shown thatTrinniberg can hang with Bodemeister. One can sustain and one wilts.

Anyone can write a story for Bleacher Report, so it's not like this is a professional journalist. . . Just an idiot.

I know that things can change on a whim, but is Trinniberg even under consideration for the Preakness at this point?

I liked this Twitter response particularly:

Josh Dutzy ‏ @JoshD3173
@AKonSports you wrote the worst horse racing article I have ever read, that is all.
