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.

We extend our congratulations to the connections of Sovereignty and respect their decision,” Rogers said in a statement. The sport has not had a Triple Crown winner since Jus

Mott is a Preakness victory away from taking the career Triple Crown, but the 71-year-old trainer won't have a chance to win it with Sovereignty, opting instead to hold the colt out until the Belmont Stakes.
