None of the 3 Derby horses in the Preakness finished higher than 4th
Ocelli, Incredibolt and Robusta were the only three horses to race in both the Kentucky Derby and Preakness this year.
They did little to suggest more should have tried the two-week turnaround that has become such a flashpoint in Triple Crown conversations.
Ocelli was fourth, Incredibolt fifth and Robusta ninth in Saturday’s Preakness Stakes at Laurel Park.
None of them was much of a threat on a day when winner Napoleon Solo was near the lead the whole way.
Derby winner Golden Tempo was held out of the race.
