Default When was the last time.....?

Not one of the first five finishers in the Derby finished in the top five positions in the Preakness ?

I don't know myself but would guess over 100 years ago.

It came close to happening in 2006. Only one of the Derby Top 5 finished in the top five positions in the Preakness. Then again, only two of the Derby Top 5, Barbaro and Brother Derek, even ran in the Preakness.

This weak bunch is so evenly weak that you could run the same bunch 50 times and have 45 different winners, none by more than a length.
