Will Golden Tempo run in the 2026 Preakness after Kentucky Derby win?
Here's what one owner said about 2026 Kentucky Derby winner Golden Tempo running in the Preakness.
You would assume that it's not a question if the Kentucky Derby winner could skip the Preakness, especially when there are only 13 thoroughbreds to ever win the prestigious Triple Crown. But that's not the case. Last year, we saw Sovereignty win the Run for the Roses and skip the race at Pimlico , a decision from its trainer perhaps to keep the horse healthy.
So will 2026 Kentucky Derby winner Golden Tempo run in the 2026 Preakness? Here's what we know right now: Owner Daisy Phipps Pulito said that she wasn't sure, that they'd talk to trainer Cherie DeVaux and figure it out from there. So, stay tuned.
