10 of the last 19 Kentucky Derby winners went on to win the Preakness Stakes. 4 of the last 5 did, more recently. Makes it pretty likely odds-on favorite Derby winner Nyquist will do so as well. Nyquist's still the favorite for the Preakness (as of now), and looking at all the other competition, doesn't seem like anyone can match up well against him.
Only 2 horses from the Derby are confirmed to re-race against Nyquist. That to me is pretty telling that they would just rather not try again. While I don't think Nyquist will win Belmont, I have little doubt he takes the Preakness with ease.
Anyone going to bet against Nyquist, given the stacked odds in his favor?
