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

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.

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.
