For the seventh consecutive year, there will be no winner of the Triple Crown in 2025.
Executive vice-president of 1 / ST, Mike Rogers, said on Tuesday that he had been informed by coach Bill Mott that sovereignty would not appear in the next preakness issues.
Last weekend, sovereignty beat journalism to win the 151st Kentucky Derby race in Churchill Downs in Louisville, Kentucky.
In the race on a muddy track due to a Saturday soaked in rain, sovereignty finished the race in just over two minutes and two seconds, in front of journalism and Baeza.
The victory marked Mott’s second illustrious career in Kentucky Derby, while Junior Jockey Alvarado won it for the first time.
Mott is a preakness victory far from taking the triple crown career, but the 71 -year -old coach will not have the chance to win him with sovereignty, rather opting to hold the foal to the Belmont Stakes.
The Preakness 2025 is scheduled for May 17 at the Pimlico Race Race in Baltimore, and there will not be many familiar faces of the involved Kentucky Derby.
By Jason Frakes of Louisville Courier JournalJournalism and American promise were the only horses that ran in Kentucky Derby to consider for Preakness.
Mott’s decision to maintain the sovereignty of Preakness was not a huge surprise given his comments on Sunday.
“Over the years, people have realized that the spacing of these horses gives you the opportunity to make them last a little longer,” he said. “We are looking for a career and you want the career to last more than five weeks.”
Since Sir Barton accomplished the feat for the first time in 1919, only 13 horses won the triple crown. It was particularly rare since the assertion won the Triple Crown in 1978, because only American Pharoah (2015) and Justify (2018) succeeded after that.
The Preakness 2025 land will take shape next week, because the drawing of the race is scheduled for May 12.
