Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted May 6 Journalists Share Posted May 6 Godolphin's GI Kentucky Derby winner Sovereignty (Into Mischief) will bypass the May 17 GI Preakness Stakes, according to a release from Pimlico Race Course Tuesday afternoon. “We received a call today from trainer Bill Mott that Sovereignty will not be competing in the Preakness,” Mike Rogers, executive vice president of 1/ST which operates Pimlico, said in the statement. “Bill informed us they would point toward the GI Belmont Stakes. We extend our congratulations to the connections of Sovereignty and respect their decision. We continue to see the excitement building toward the milestone celebration of the 150th Preakness Stakes, and we look forward to an incredible weekend of world-class racing and entertainment.” Sovereignty won the Mar. 1 GII Coolmore Fountain of Youth Stakes in his sophomore debut before finishing second in the Mar. 29 GI Curlin Florida Derby. He charged past favored Journalism (Curlin) over a sloppy Churchill track to secure a 1 1/2-length victory in the Derby last Saturday.
