In 2004 Derby starter won.
In 2006 derby Starter placed.
Horses that ran in the derby have a much better chance in the Preakness.
Running back in 2 weeks doesn't seem to matter.
The non Derby starters did not run in the Derby because they probably were not good enough to win so what makes their chances any better in the Preakness.
