Why is Kentucky Derby winner not running in Preakness?

Sovereignty won the Kentucky Derby on May 3 at Churchill Downs by 1 ½ lengths over Journalism.

The next morning, Sovereignty trainer Bill Mott was asked if it would be a hard decision to skip the Preakness and responded, “No.”

“Over the years, people have realized that spacing these horses out a little bit gives you the opportunity to make them last a little longer,” Mott said. “We’re looking at a career, and you want the career to last more than five weeks.”
