The Kentucky Derby favorite never mustered a winning bid at Churchill Downs while placed fourth without any major excuse. Trainer Bob Baffert has 7 Preakness victories and could surpass R.W. Walden for the all-time mark if successful Saturday. Baffert twice has rebounded in the Preakness with defeated Derby favorites, Point Given (2001) and Lookin at Lucky (2010), and was runner-up in this situation with Bodemeister (2012). Baffert and jockey Mike Smith cut through the fog at Pimlico last year to win with eventual Triple Crown icon Justify. This Arkansas Derby runner-up has lost all 3 starts this year, making him a curious historical footnote as a potential Derby and Preakness favorite who was winless on the season.
