According to The Courier-Journal, part of the USA TODAY Network, Preakness officials announced Sovereignty would not compete at Pimlico Race Course in Baltimore on May 17.
Sovereignty was the 8-5 favorite leading up to the confirmed field for the Preakness and was obviously expected to be a strong contender.

However, he did confirm of Sovereignty's return for the Belmont Stakes, the final race of the Triple Crown, which will take place on June 7 at Saratoga.
