LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) -- Giacomo didn't earn too many supporters with his shocking Kentucky Derby victory, starting with Hall of Fame trainers D. Wayne Lukas and Bobby Frankel.
Lukas said the 131st Derby was ``the most bizarre of all.''
While giving Giacomo a chance of winning the Preakness on May 21, Lukas agreed with Frankel that the colt won't sweep the Derby, Preakness and Belmont Stakes.
``You can chisel this in stone: There will not be a Triple Crown winner,'' Lukas said Sunday. ``We got too many good horses that will upset the apple cart. The Preakness will be just as unpredictable. With all respect to the horse, (Giacomo) is beatable. He was beatable all spring.''
Giacomo, who went off at 50-1 odds, had one victory in seven previous races before winning Saturday in the second-biggest upset in race history.
``You wouldn't think he's a Triple Crown horse. You got to like the horses who didn't fire in the Derby to win the Preakness,'' Frankel said, referring to 5-2 favorite Bellamy Road and Afleet Alex.
Frankel's horse, High Limit, finished last; he was badly cut and bled, but not injured seriously enough to rule him out of the Preakness.
