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

There will be no Triple Crown winner in horse racing this year. Sovereignty, the three-year-old thoroughbred who won the Kentucky Derby on Saturday, will not race in the Preakness Stakes – the second leg of the three races that make up the Triple Crown.

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.
