Competing for your sport's highest achievement shouldn't be a question, but for horse racing's Triple Crown, it's not that simple.

Sovereignty, the winner of the 2025 Kentucky Derby, will not race in the Preakness Stakes in Baltimore next week, meaning there will not be a Triple Crown winner for the seventh year in a row.

Many think the traditional five-week Triple Crown rotation of Kentucky Derby, Preakness and Belmont needs a shake up as modern horse trainers do not like to race horses three times in five weeks.
