Kentucky Derby winner Golden Tempo will skip the Preakness Stakes and not make a run for horse racing’s Triple Crown, his trainer’s stable announced Wednesday.
“Golden gave us the race of a lifetime in the Kentucky Derby, and we believe the best decision for him moving forward is to give him a little more time following such a tremendous effort,” said a statement from trainer Cherie DeVaux‘s stable posted to social media. “His health, happiness, and long-term future will always remain our top priority.”
The last time a horse won the Triple Crown — the three-race series consisting of the Derby, the Preakness in Maryland and the Belmont Stakes in New York — was in 2018.
