Kentucky Derby winner Sovereignty will not compete in the 150th Preakness Stakes on May 17. Because of this decision, there will be no Triple Crown winner this year, but Sovereignty will prepare to run the Belmont Stakes in June.

Kentucky Derby winner Sovereignty won't run in the Preakness Stakes. That means there will not be a Triple Crown winner for a seventh consecutive year.

Sovereignty will skip the second leg of the Triple Crown. He's the first Kentucky Derby winner to skip the Preakness Stakes since Rich Strike in 2022.
