Triple Crown hopes are officially over for 2026

With the Kentucky Derby winner opting out of the Preakness Stakes, there will be no chance of a Triple Crown winner this year. Many racing fans were hoping to witness history, but the decision shifts the focus toward the Belmont Stakes and the rest of the racing season.

Do you agree with the decision to skip the Preakness for the horse’s recovery and long-term future, or should champions always chase the Triple Crown?

That is the true test of Champions, always has been.
