A star-crossed 2019 Triple Crown campaign took another massive blow Tuesday with the news that Kentucky Derby winner-by-disqualification Country House will not run in the Preakness May 18. The Daily Racing Form quoted Country House trainer Bill Mott as saying the colt “developed a little bit of a cough this morning.” “His appetite is good,” Mott said. Country House's defection comes a day after the owner of disqualified Derby winner Maximum Security said that horse also would skip the Preakness.
