BALTIMORE (AP) &045; Giacomo isn’t the only Kentucky Derby winner to ever enter the Preakness with plenty to prove.

Remember Charismatic?

Before Giacomo pulled off the second-biggest upset in Derby history at 50-1 odds, there was Charismatic’s 1999 Derby shocker at 31-1. When the Preakness rolled around, Charismatic was dismissed at 8-1 &045; the fifth choice in the field &045; before defeating favorite Menifee by 1 1/2 lengths.

The love isn’t there for Giacomo, either. At least not yet.

Afleet Alex, third in the Derby but just a length behind, was expected to be tabbed the favorite by oddsmaker Frank Carulli at Wednesday’s post position draw. High Fly, 10th in the Derby for trainer Nick Zito, could be the second choice, followed by Giacomo.

Trainer John Shirreffs doesn’t care about the odds. In fact, he’s not surprised the Preakness will have a full field of 14 for the first time since 1992.

&uot;Who am I going to scare off?&uot; Shirreffs said. &uot;This is the Triple Crown. Each one is a jewel in the crown. You’re not going to scare anybody off.&uot;

Heck, Giacomo hasn’t even scared off High Limit, who finished last in the 20-horse Derby field, 44 1/2 lengths behind. Or Going Wild, who was 18th and has lost his last three races by a combined 86 1/4 lengths.

Or four new shooters, including New York-bred gelding Galloping Grocer, winless in five starts over the last seven months, or Hal’s Image, 2-for-16.

There could be nine Derby also-rans in Saturday’s Preakness at Pimlico. The last Derby winner to face so many familiar faces was &045; you guessed it! &045; Charismatic.
