Triple Crown is no longer pursued

A horse winning the derby in Kentucky

Is considered to be very lucky.

The goal afterwards used to be the Triple Crown,

But now, owners of the winners are turning it down.

Instead of going into the record books with sleekness,

Many owners and trainers have their horses skip the Preakness.

Maybe adding an extra week of rest in between could change the course.

Overworking could lead to the glue factory because nobody should beat a dead horse.

The real reason they do not go is because the Preakness is in Baltimore.

People being protective because they do not want to be robbed anymore.
