Trainer Cherie DeVaux announced that Kentucky Derby winner Golden Tempo will skip the May 16 Preakness Stakes, ending Golden Tempo's chance at the Triple Crown. DeVaux said the connections will instead point Golden Tempo to the Belmont Stakes as the next target. It is the third time in five years a Kentucky Derby winner has bypassed the Preakness, guaranteeing there will be no Triple Crown winner this spring and reshaping the remaining classic races.
