Recap 

Nyquist became the fourth consecutive favorite to cross the finish line first at the Derby, per Dan Wolken of USA Today. He'll also draw comparisons to last year's winner, American Pharoah, who made history and won the Triple Crown.

Pat Forde of Yahoo Sports thinks that's a possibility for Nyquist as well:

If you'd like to watch the race again, or by chance missed history, you can watch the video below, via NBC Sports:

Until Nyquist finishes a race outside of first place, the Triple Crown talk needs to take place. Jockey Mario Gutierrez maintained a consistent pace for Nyquist from the moment he exited the starting gate. He should be the consensus favorite heading into the Preakness.
