Did anyone who ran well in the Derby run well in the Preakness though?

I understand their decision, however, with six horses in the Turf, I think you take your shot there.

The correlation between the horses that ran well in the Derby and their poor efforts in the Preakness is that basically they all stink, were beneficiaries of strong pace setups or positive trips, or loved slop.

Couldn't it be argued that even though he didn't hit the board, given what Lookin' at Lucky went through, he "ran well" as far as the Derby was concerned? A lot of horses in his situation would've either given up or tried and fallen completely apart because they didn't have the goods to overcome the obstacles. He kept trying and got a lot farther than you'd expect.
