It would be a huge surprise if I'll Have Another and Bodemeister fail to run into the money at the 137th Preakness Stakes.
The first- and second-place finishers at the Kentucky Derby are overwhelming favorites at Pimlico and for good reason. There is a lack of elite talent in the field and there are only 11 horses running.
So, again, it would be a huge surprise if Bodemeister and I'll Have Another don't run into the money.
There are other contenders, however, that won't fare so well.

Fifith-place finisher at this year's Derby, Creative Cause is currently a 6-1 favorite according to Sportsbook.com
The son of Giant's Causeway, this three-year-old colt had finished in the money in every race leading up to the Run for the Roses, seven of which were all Grade 1 or 2 races.
