Exaggerator at 9-2 odds is not the only horse with the potential of beating Nyquist.

Cherry Wine, which just narrowly missed making the Kentucky Derby field, has connections that make him look like a horse that can also run well in the rain.

Stradivari won his last two races by a combined 25 lengths while recently earning a 101 Brisnet Speed Rating. He’s also the first horse trainer Todd Pletcher has entered in a Preakness Stakes since 2011. He is coming in at 12-1 odds early on.
