Just a few days after winning the Kentucky Derby, Sovereignty was ruled out of running in the Preakness Stakes.

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.

It's the fifth time in seven years that the Preakness gates open without a chance at a Triple Crown. That was only the case once in the previous 33 years.
